OMNIS - the erias line LOGO CONCEPTS

[Elder71 14]

Whilst taking a break from script writing (narrative script that is, on to the fourth draft now), I decided to resolve the problem I'd been having with a logo design once and for all. Two days of work, I finally managed to zero in on a handful of variations. They're pretty similar and I have favourites, but I thought I'd post them here and see what people think.

For the first group pic, I like the bottom right one best and the second on the left. The smaller ones I don't have much preference, but I do like the first little one.

The first of the smaller group is my favourite - I'm glad you like it. They're all the same resolution in actuality, it was just a matter of fitting them onto the post. I thought I might use more than one, one for the game, one for the blog, one for the website?

I suppose, yeah Since they're mostly very similar in coloration and exactly the same in style, you could use them interchangeably for practically anything! Maybe swap them out once in a while ^-^

I like the small ones I like the top left gold one, the middle blue, and the right silver the best.

I was pretty confident that one of those designs would be "the one", but I can't help tinkering with it and I've come up with some more. Just to make the decision process a shade harder...

(New here, but thought I'd share my opinion either way.)

 

I think the first set of graphics you posted are the stronger ones, as opposed to the second set (from Feb 22nd). The two split lines above and below really scatter where your eye is supposed to be drawn, so it gives a lot less of an impact, and having the long line below "the erias line/DEMO" gives too much of a hard stop, I feel.

 

As for your original sets, these are my thoughts: 

 

Having the line below OMINIS I think is the best option--it draws your eye through the graphic and title, and then down to subtitle and demo. It's very natural, and very solid in appearance.

 

Of the first set, I feel the one in the middle on the left and the bottom right are your strongest, my personal preference being the middle left. Both provide good contrast for all the letters of OMINIS against the logo, which I think is most important. The others don't have quite as much contrast, and if your title gets lost in the graphic, I just don't think it gives the right impression. I prefer the middle-left because it seems to me to have the most atmosphere. The white of the text against the black background make it very stark, and the more faded purple and gold of the logo create a sense of intrigue. Having the more faded gold/purple also makes the white of the design stand out significantly more, which also draws your eye through the image even better. (Also, it gives me the impression of being "broken" or "abstract," which creates interest, at least to me.)

 

Of the second set (the smaller images), the only ones I feel gives a "punch" are the top left and the bottom on the far right. As for the others in that set, I feel in particularly the green/gold text gets lost, and just doesn't give a good flow or color differentiation. I would like the two in the center, but the white vertical design cuts into the text strangely, I feel. If you moved the design to the left some so that it didn't seem to be "sprouting" from the N, I think either of those could work well. Personally, I don't much like the blue graphic, but I think that more depends on the color palette your going for.

 

My final verdict I would have to say would be the middle on the left of the first set. It provides the most visual interest, is high contrast, and has just a hint of color. If you were looking for a black-and-white design, I'd suggest then the top left from the second set.

 

I hope this is helpful to you, and good luck! I really enjoy the general look you have with these so far.

Really appreciate the feedback, it's been an element I've had odd problems with over-productivity.

 

Your favourite seems to be the general consensus, so I'll run with that one. I've rethought the line-pattern that backs some of them, though, not a fan of that anymore. I'll put together a final version and post it tomorrow.

 

Thanks again everyone.

 

 

EDIT

Here be the 'final' version.
