The making of the PoH logo
Making a good logotype is never simple, in this case it took a couple of iterations before I was somewhat happy with the look.
The main issue was to get it uptodate with the new weapons, also to get a more feel of action and arcade. To do that the former true type had to go, also as I noticed most game logotypes in comparison to regular company logos was much more graphically rendered.
So generally that’s the main issue I had to solve, also to get it easy read, fantasy-impression, working 2-color, smalprint accessible, not to different from before and somewhat good looking of course :p
Most issus come to be the font (probably because I believe that custom made fonts for logos are the only right thing) and after that the rendering and color that never seemed to hit the spot.
Well, it took a couple of tries before it could be called the new logo.
Here are some of the later iterations that didn’t made it.
Penalty of Heroes new logo
As I told you a few days ago we were in the middle of changing the Penalty of Heroes logo. So here it is. Hope you like it : )
Redesigning the PoH web page
As you might know we’re just in the process of changing of our logo for Penalty of Heroes. We’re also right now discussing how the “main” web page for Penalty of Heroes will look/be like. Rigth now we just have a picture with urls to this page and our companys page. But in1-2 month we plan to have a new design up and running on the page. The big thing right now is deciding how it will look like.
Reworking the logo
Yes, you read right. Our logo for Penalty of Heroes is going out the door and a new one will take it’s place. There we’re several reasons for this change. The two main reasons are that the weapons in the background of the logo have changed and most of the team members wanted a more “edge” to the logo and make it more original. So in a few days we’ll reveal the logo and we’ll also change the logo on all Penalty of Heroes related pages.
The new logo is a bit different from the old one, but we really hope you’ll like it!
www.DataboxGames.com is up a and running
We ‘ve got our companys web page up and running, so head over to www.databoxgames.com and have a look at it and other games we have made.
The logotype for Penalty of Heroes
Dwarf and Nixi have been sketching on a logo for Penalty of Heroes the last week and they have come up with some suggestions. We’re pretty certain that we will go with the logo on the picture to the right. Though but we might change it later on, but for now on we’ll use it and see if it feels right.
