Anyone taking on the RW logo yet?

by Tyler Frans · in General Discussion · 03/19/2002 (3:50 pm) · 16 replies

I saw it's slated for milestone one. I have a few concepts for it sketched out and am about to finish up the first one in Photoshop now. Was wondering if anyone else is taking this on? If so, I figured we could all pool our ideas in here for inspiration. I'll post the others later (slim on time at this minute). Thanks. :)

Yeah. I just registered and I thought working on the logo could be fun. Will have a think and post back here some ideas and maybe samples :).

Sorry, it's taken me awhile to get back to this. I had finished designing the font about a week ago (been swamped). It's my first run on it. I was thinking of setting it against a stone wall capped with wood pikes (all battle scarred). I'll see where I go from here with it. Here's a snap of the font. (Thanks in advance for any feedback :) )

Very nice, but....

Its a fantasy game, that font is more post-apoc script. Maybe it should be wood, or stone, instead of a rather modern looking metal.

Just a thought

Very nice Tyler, i like it. Dont quite know why, but i do.

Maybe RW is going to be more after a Runic sort of style though.

Anyway, i quite like that :)) but I dont think it'd be as catchy against anything but black, which might let it down some.

i like the style, bit hard to read though.

I think a logo for Realm Wars needs to hit hard and be "sharp" in design. That's a nice design, but the excessive spikes and swirls diffuse it too much.

Maybe something a bit more direct and readable at a glance?

Oh, and I think any good logo requires something more than just the title of a game... well, that's just me.

Thanks for the feedback. I was playing with the theme Shawn Sharp established in the concept work, that being a pseudo-industrial spin ontop of the fantasy feel. As I said before, that's just the font I had done for it (not the logo, Matt). I'll play around with some Futhark-esque fonts, finish up the logo for this one and other ideas I had. Thanks. :)

I finished up my idea for the actual logo last night. I won't have time to finish it up the way I'd like to, but figured I'd post it if someone else wants to run with the idea. Please, be my guest.

@Cerdip! ROFL!!!!
I like a lot the yingyanguis logo too :)
to maybe it would look better if you did the round thing like a shield like texture... made from rusted metal with some spikes on the borders.. etc

Still.. i like the metallic effect of the other one.

The flame thing didnt quite light my fire (doh).

The picture still doesn't show in the forums will, but if you link to it Like this. I think people can view it.

Edit: That doesn't work either with geocities =\, cut and paste does work however heh.

For anyone that didnt figure out the link to Will's concept.

I kinda like the round logo also, maybe make it more like a tarnished gold coin that kinda gives a feeling of the spoils of war.

The round logo does work pretty good as a flag also:
