I struggle with logo design a lot as it’s something i’ve never really considered myself good at but I decided to maybe stick with this as the final design so I could focus more on trying to create more content for the final piece.
I drew the planet on Illustrator draw, and added the city sky line with the pen tool on Illustrator and the typeface.
The typeface I used is a free font called ‘Ultra’. I wanted a futurist styled one since the game is set far in the future and suits the sci-fi theme.
The colours could be improved and I think the drawing makes it look more like it’s targeted towards children rather than young adults so that’s something I need to work on. It’s also a little too dark and depressing looking.
The development of the piece started with the rough design I posted before:
That was mostly drawn on Adobe Sketch (so not a final vector). I decided to take the glow around the planet off to keep it more simple.
I tried loads of different compositions yet nothing really looked neat enough so I tried to make it more simple, maybe my drawing is what’s making it messy?
So I tried making it more simple and using different types but I find ‘Ultra’ fits best. Overall, I felt as tho as messy as the drawing looks the ring makes it look more like a planet so I stuck with the first one.
I tried the free font Blanka too as I thought if fit but decided to stick with ultra as it being less bold makes it look a bit more elegant.
