Really like your designs (with and without the sword). Do you think you would be able to add a landscape or catle/mountain/forest shape of top of it (maybe going being the Fatecraft text).
What about the same one (with the nice landscape) but also with the "sword" replacing the "T" ? And the "The Therian Saga" a bit shifted to the right (like you did before)
So far the logo is very good. I was about to ask for the white background (or transparent) version but you did it :)
I'm wondering if there is a way to reduce the black borders (for the "The Therian Saga" text and for the "Fatecraft" text) a bit. Without rendering the text unreadable on a bright background?
The new logo you just added is better for the "Fatecraft" text. But for the subtitle, we need to keep the old black border. This one is to deem and the text starts to become very hard to read :)
I tryed 3 fonts that would fit that i had on my computer but I encountered the same problem, the border needs to be to big to be readable. So I was thinking that maybe itțs the wrong approach so i tryed to use a dark green and I really like the result (dark green for white background, gold for black). What's your oppinion?
We have a question regarding the logo itself (the fatecraft text and the subtitle). Is it scaling to very high resolution? For instance is still looking good in 1600x1200? I think you are wokring in vectorial so I expect it but I prefer to ask :)
Regarding the logo, the color one is too colorfull overall. For now the golden one is the best.
Nice map, but this level of detail is hard to do in vector graphics. I can provide you, if you choose my logo as winner a high res (that's why I was asking about resolution) photoshop enchanted, painted version of my logo that would match the graphic style of that sample image.
Hi, now that we are in the final, here are more informations/ideas:
First: I f you look at the first link (warcraft logo). We want the same kind of "base" logo. Then for our first game "The Therian Saga", we want to enhance that base logo like World of warcraft for instance.
As an old gamer I know a little bit about the warcraft games history. There is the logo for the warcraft, that is used in all the logos of products taking place in that universe. WoW logo is simple as ideea. Behind the "World" text there is the planet Azeroth. With each expansion they keeped the shape of the logo the same buth that did tweached the overal feel. Color changes, and small details like the ice in "Litch King". But the most important design element i belive it's the planet. On the original logo, blue planet, "Litch king" icey planet, "Cataclism" cracked planet. That I feel it's the thing to be done.
For the record, in my logo designs I tried to keep away as much as possible for the WoW logo style of design. I followed the market over the years and all the games that had "name"craft in title and were even remotely in the same genre were immediatly labeld as copyes even if that was not the case.
My base logo proposals are #74 , #75 , #76 wirh the plain text with no backround versions #70 and #71
My proposals for "The Therian Saga" are #45 and the new ones i've uploaded #65 and #73 with the color variations.
For the new products in the Fatecraft universe my ideea would be this. Right now for "The Therian Saga" we have this gold sculpted medieval landscape. Gold sculpted should be the unifing theme. You gave example Fatecraft: The Trading Card Game. Imagine for these, instead of the landscape detaild golden sculpted trading cards with a little perspective. And this can e done with both the free landscape version or with the circle landscape ones. Also you can keep, let's say green for the "The Therian Saga" and use other colors for the next installments.
I give another fictional example "Fatecraft: The Songs of Valhala". You can do viking theme based landscape. Here the color used would be blue.
This is my insight an my toughts on the matter you raised.
Thank you for your comments. The Warcraft analogy was really to illustrate what we wanted to achieve and I strongly agree with you that we should be not be too similar (we already have the "Craft" anyways:))
We would like to try two more thing for the base logo : - Lets remove the sword, so we can use it as a really blueprint for any kind of game (even futuristic) - We would love to have some design on the letter if we go we a base logo like that; something not very sophisticated but enough to make it unique.
Yes, and this is out goal, to be able to use the same base logo for different kind of game.
I think we almost there by the way. The "C" is okay but we are not sure about connecting it to the R. Can you try to add some flavor to the first F (maybe the upper line of the F being longer), same for the "C" (the lower line of the C being longer and moving a bit under the next later, like this "R" http://www.riftgame.com/fr/)
By the way, another question; if we select your logo; will you be available for other stuff (like a website design etc?) Or for future logo arround this base logo?
I did some modifictions as you asked. Hope you dig them.
About your question. My specialization is illustration and design with some experience in gaming industry (mostly games for Apple devices). I can do website design, it's part of my full time job, but I have absolutely no clue about html or css, we have programmers for that. I can give the site graphics in .psd ar any format you want . About the logos, also no problem. I will be a pleasure.
I like the new one (with the F and R things) but can you try one last thing? Here is an exemple (pardon my poor MSPaint skills ;-)) : http://www.fatecraft.com/Images/Test.png
And we are really looking for a designer to get the Photoshop file so we can have a developper with CSS/HTML skills to create it hapen. We are also going to work for an iPhone/iPad app, so you may definitely become very handy !
I think we can end the contest now :) And declare you as the winner.
The team likes the 4 first concepts, they are asking maybe for one more that would the client rank 1 + the last T doing the same thing that the first F but in the other direction .
After that I think that we would take few hours to pick the one that we want :) by the way, the color of the rank 1 is actually even better.
So at the end we would have to choose between:
#88 #84 #77 #86 And the #88 with the last T doing the same exact thing than the first F (but in the other direction)
We would love to it in Gold and Silver. for the gold one, please use the same colors than the #88, not sure how but it is a bit brighter than the others.
Also in the http://www.fatecraft.com/Images/Untitled2.png (top one) image, notice that we would like to have a bit more space than the #88 between the top bars and the "atecraf" letters.
