RW Logo Idea
by Logan Foster · in General Discussion · 07/04/2002 (9:51 pm) · 8 replies
This is just my idea for the RW logo. I hope that other people will be inspired (and motivated) to create and post their own ideas for a RW logo.
If anyone is curious the image took a couple of hours of work with Photoshop and 3DS Max (for the spline modification of the text and the volumetric lighting) to create.

@Bryan Walters: I agree. I dont really think it suits RW, unless we have an "evil" race. Such as the ogres being sworn enemies of the elves in the RW storyline.
Then the "selling" factor of RW could be that a few races are fighting each other for ownership of something. Like in Tribes 1 - The 4 clans were against each other. In Tribes 2 - The 4 clans merged to fight the bioderm. In Half-Life it was military verse aliens sort of. [I only played a little of HL, so dont take my word on that :)]
Thats my 2 cents....

@L Foster: I think you have done a great job with the logo. Until another logo is sibmitted - yours is by far the best logo i have seen@Bryan Walters: I agree. I dont really think it suits RW, unless we have an "evil" race. Such as the ogres being sworn enemies of the elves in the RW storyline.

I look at the image and I can hear the sound of swords clanking. Very Blizzard-ish, and very cool.Great job Logan!

It is obvious that the trail from the R invisibly meets up with the left side of the W, and it is this that is bothering me, the W looks a little abrupt because if you consider the entire curve to be a single stroke it is much gentler on the left than right, could you try to balance it out so the curve is equal on both bits, if you understand what I mean..
I think it may look better if that curve was more uniform, anychance of trying it out and re-posting (I could be wrong!), but I would love to see what it may look like.
If I can get somewhere to upload I will draw what I mean.
Plus i think the the R's tail and the W's left should be the only "curvy" bits, it looks a little odd that Wars is full of curves and Realm has one. Could the R is wars stop dead, like the other smaller letters and the right and side of the W also stop?
Once again I know I'm making quite a few comments, but I believe your logo is very impressive, but these changes may improve it.

Whether or not it is the right sort of image for Realm Wars however im not sure, but it looks great none the less :)

Still not it Thor, i think the main problem is in the midle with the upper curve of the "W". For one it should resamble the curve of the half moon in the back ground the way it is now the W and the moon contradict making it look messy.

I agree with Owen, it doesn't look balanced but i like the idea.. I will talk to you about it over IRC maybe we can improve it a bit. But i must say i also like Phils logo thingy. I like the black, gold combination.Still not it Thor, i think the main problem is in the midle with the upper curve of the "W".

I'm always for choice though. Including Phil's attempt, we've only seen about four RW logo choices.

I like Logan's logo idea. The W seems like it could use a little work, but other than that, I think it is a good start. Phil's logo is pretty much what we have now, i.e. a font with a little background treatment.I'm always for choice though. Including Phil's attempt, we've only seen about four RW logo choices.
