I actually think that it isnt so bad. Pretty good.

But, someone already submitted a RW logo. Cant remember who. Basically same "design", but it looks a little better. (probably cause the guy who did it said that they were an artist. lol :)

Ya... I think this is more "Realm Warish" than the other personaly, could do with some work tho.

I think what would look quite good is if this logo looked more battle torn, with nicks and groves, and possibly some of the letters be broken in places.

This doesn't look bad. Give yourself a little credit :) I'm not sure the orange works. Some how it doesn't convey that brutal battle feel when I think Realm Wars. Maybe a nice battle hardened steel with some tanned hides and fur combo? Not that I could make that, but it's an idea.

Hmm not so sure about the second, I wonder if there is a way to blend the 2, the metallic feel of the text in Phil's text style and background?

Love the style Tyler Looks really cool. Could you try giving it a round backpanel. I would also love to see how it looks when you put the words behind each other...

Are those custom made letters or did you use a font if so is it a free font, i don't know how copyrights relate to fonts but it is something we have to keep in mind.

Really like how you captured the right admosphere, really nice..

Thanks, glad you guys liked it. :)

"I would also love to see how it looks when you put the words behind each other..."

I'm sorry, I don't get what you're saying. Overlap the words? Directly?

"Are those custom made letters or did you use a font if so is it a free font, i don't know how copyrights relate to fonts but it is something we have to keep in mind."

Yes, I made sure it was a royalty free font that I used. It can be found at Acidfonts as the Folkard font. And when I get a chance, I'll put it on a round surface for you, Pascal. :)

Oops sorry maybe i was a bit unclear i mean just REALM WARS. Wars behind realm instead of under..

Ok good if the font is royalty free there is no problem i think. We have to keep these things in mind though..

Just as a FYI, as far as I recall, you can use a bitmap image of a font without recourse to the font creator, as long as its in bitmap form (or photoshopped into a logo) if its in other forms (like ttf) then you need to stump up royalties.

Thats from our last experience, of course normally we contact a fonts author if its a freeware one and give em some cash.

I'd like to try another one later, I think whats missing is some context, so I'm going to try and make one with an axe in.. and maybe a helmet or something.
