Any way to improve my logo?

Sorry if this is the wrong section. I can’t find anything relating to graphics design in JGO to post in :slight_smile:

Here is the logo so far. The gears don’t have anti-aliasing, because of the source I got it from. It is for a game engine with an editor. Any ideas?

Add gears some shadows, so it looks more beautiful. At the moment it’s just plain. Looks like tractor wheel.

How about this:

A quick try at (read: crappy) some AA on the gear + a saturation gradient & subtle white highlight under the name:

Really you should change the colors of the gear I think, at least the off-white.

I actually can’t use a background, it was just for looks. The logo will be posted on forums, so it needs to be transparent. :hint: :hint:

I’m not sure the font is that great.

Yeah, its castellar. What should I make it?

Something with more weight.

Is this what you meant?

Try adding some occlusion/drop shadow around the text and wheel. Also, is Embers possessive? If so, it should be “Ember’s”.

No, its just a name. Embers isn’t a person.

I already tried to add shadows to the text. It was too hard to read the text though.

more cowbell!

EDIT: Made some tweaks.

Woah.

Thats awesome, I like it.

Wanna help with the icons for the app? PM me.

If it’s like the logo, I can toss one together that’s a small version of the gear or something…

I meant for the things like file explorer, play button, level editor, maybe some example tile maps and such. Its for a game engine, if thats what you would be interested in. (With a cool lighting engine with different mappings too :D)

Probably don’t have time to get into all that, I have my own game to develop after all. :smiley:

Thats alright, thanks for the logo!

NP, when I have time it’s fun to do a logo here and there, break away from pixel art. :stuck_out_tongue:

If you have photoshop or GIMP here’s the original PSD if you want to play with it/edit it later;

Paint.net user. But I need to freshen up on gimp anyway.
