Choose the best Logo

[BlueScope]

Alright, I've made a logo for my game. Hence I had a little time up my sleeves, I created four versions and simply can't choose which one to take... if you could be that kind to tell me :D

Spoiler: Logo Images (800x600)

PS: If you wondered, yeah, I finally got a name for my game... :D It's a working title, though it'll most likely be the final name.

Second, but get rid of the japanese text.

 

[Balore]

The first one I guess....I can't see much of a difference in them...

 

[BlueScope]

@TCoFA: That's a part of my game's title... what am I supposed to do? ^_^

@Red: They become... more brighter ^_^

 

[Rye]

The 4th one, but the japanese text look ugly.

 

[Balore]

Well I still think the first one has the perfect amount of brightness.

 

[The Cry of Fallen Angels]

As the japanese text is too blurred, and clashes with the letters you find on your keyboard. Only use japanese letters if they're used ingame too, else you'll come over as a, as des puts it so nicely, japfag. Which is annoying, because japanese letters should not be added because they're "cool".

 

[BlueScope]

Well, my game uses few Katakana ingame, so I don't think it'll look odd. the game is about Japan, too, as you can read in my sig, so it shouldn't look out of place at all...
For the blurrying, I think it's readable if you want to read it, but doesn't distracts attention from the main title... and that's fucking what I wanted to accomplish :D

 

[The Cry of Fallen Angels]

As ingame I mean dialogue would be in katakana. You can put written text (as in signs) in katakana, but without filling a dialogue box with it, don't put it in your title.

 

[BlueScope]

That's a point... the dialogues won't be in Katakana, of course, but it makes a nice addition to have some actual Japanese influence in an environment that's supposed to be Japan, I guess...

 

[JD_Slasha]

First one dammit!

 

[Danny]

I like the first more, I tends not too be too dark or bright. If you do not want to remove the japanese text as suggested by others, consider moving it from the hands into a corner.

I put I wanna be banned as a joke, but hey, why 800x600? you using resolution script?

 

[BlueScope]

@Paradox: No, the default resolution. I still do my artworks in bigger size.

@Hydro: I considered that, but I dunno... it has that special bling to it in my opinion...

 

[Mega Flare]

i dont like any of them... and i cant tell them apart

 

[Wings]

None of them.

First...I've never been partial to Japanese titled games because it makes it seem that you are trying to emulate something that is becoming borderline redundant with low rent kiddies on the forums (i.e. is shit). They think "Japanese names are fucking cool, so let's use them" (cliche with a capital "c"). I have no idea what "Shingetsu" means, nor do I really care to know. Also with the multiple images, they are all the same, with the exception of how much you decided to cover up with brightness (this shouldn't even be an issue) Plus with the Katakana on top...maybe you should lay off the outer glow a bit hmmm?

Secondly, the overall design could of been better thought out. *pause* Two hands holding text. *another pause* This isn't very appealing to me. Think of a logo that would actually interest people (and for the love of everything sacred, change the font...it looks wretched)

But anyway that is my two cents. If you or anyone has taken offence to this post, let me inform you that I feel like complete shit right now and am not in the best of moods. So rather than pitch a hissy fit and start repeatedly pressing the report button, come to your senses and start taking into account everything I pointed out in the above statement.

Cheers

@Blackbeard: Lol, I won't report you, I'm not a crybaby, man ^_^

Well, the font is something I already thought of, too... then again, I dislike Japanese-looking fonts like 'Karate' or 'Bonzai' for big letters.

PS: It's very funny to hear people say the like none of [...] best ^_^ I mean, even if you hate them, one must be your favourite *lol*

If you want my professional advace that isn't professional - Then unblur the Japanese text. IT will look more snazzy. Unblur all of it infact.
