auximenies:It's unlikely that we'll need to use a square logo often, if at all. However, I think 5 is the definitive square logo and I'll keep it just in case.
MTHaslett:The problem with creating a logo that has a less prominent "of the" is that then "Shroud" needs to be bigger. See my next comment.
I agree with your idea that
"the logos that have bars seem far more like the title of a movie". That's another reason I wanted to v11 to see if the extra line made a difference.
I commend you on the poster mock-ups, btw. I will take a crack at recreating them in photoshop once I finalise the SOTDS logo.
Trooperman:Nice to see you back in the thread.
I'm glad the logo designs inspired you to create a mockup logo as I think your third one is the best possible logo. However, when I tried to recreate it in high-res there's a problem. The stretching/squeezing of "Shroud" becomes painfully obvious and the logo suffers as a result. I tried to:
* get the "S" of "Shroud" to not look so big in comparison to the rest of "shroud".
* have "hroud" not be stretched/squeezed so dramatically
* make the two lines fit together without being distorted at all
However, no matter what i did it just doesn't look as good as it could due to "Shroud of the" not fitting across the top without being distorted. I have posted my result below but it isn't pretty. The "S" bar is too thick and the rest of "shroud" is too stretched.
THX:Yep. All the reasons you mention are why I couldn't get a variety of designs to work. Unfortunately this includes Trooperman's #3 logo which I think is the perfect one to use.
GoldStone9:Thanks for uploading that AOTC concept art scan.
Everyone:Well, here are the latest logos. Version 11 is a revised v10 with an extra bar above "shroud of the". I suspect that since so many of you loved 10B that 11B's okay? Version 12 is my attempt at recreating Trooperman's very nice logo. Unfortunately I can't proportion the "S" of "Shroud" right in relation to the rest of the word. Plus, the rest of the word has to be stretched and squeezed in order to fill out the space in the top line. More thoughts on either of these?:
