azure Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Can you post a version without the red background? I agree that something's off, but I'm not sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estec Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Looks better without the red background, in my opinion. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 I agree with ya…The red background make's it look horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estec Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The only thing I can think of is to play with the shadow and light effects on the letters a little. I mean it looks fine the way it is, but personally some letters have more shadow than needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaaron Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Don't know if it looks better, IMO, it does, but it has some lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The colour is just bad from the start. You can only improve something so much if the original palette is bad.Play around with it some more. Throw some gradients on it.Oh, and a logo needs to be more than your game name written in a big font. Do something original with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made my observations based on that. lol@N00DLES:> > > Don't know if it looks better, IMO, it does, but it has some lighting.It looks much better to me. At this point I'd consider what Robin said. Spice the logo up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 The 'simple look' doesn't mean you can get away without doing any actual graphical work. There are tons of tutorials on how to make fonts look good on the internet. I suggest you use a few of those rather than just blindly screwing around in Photoshop.

I can't really argue with you, since what I do know how to do in photoshop I learned from tutorials. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 That's sorta why I named the title of this topic 'How I fail…'Anyways, I tried something, doubt it's even better, but worth a shot I guess.or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Personally I find the Yellow logo more appealing than the gray ones. Though I think the castle in the background is an improvement. I'd love to know more about "Kero" though. Is it a place, thing, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 Tell ya the truth….When I started the project in decemeber, 'Kero' just sorta came to me and was a place somewhere off in the wild that wasn't known to man...lol, and then today I went and looked up the word kero and it's a damn cartoon animal type thing.. o.OBut, Kero used in Kero Kingdom is a place in the middle of the ocean with 2 small kingdoms that are several hundered miles away from each other, this was all when I first started the project...Here's what google say's a 'Kero' is..>! Also, I tried out this thing…The color from the old logo, deleted the subtitle and kept the castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azure Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Hmm, that gives me an idea. So you have two separate kingdoms? Why not work Flags or tarps representing each kingdom into the logo? I wasn't sure what to call what I'm talking about so here's a reference from google.>! I like the yellow much better than the gray. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 You know, I like that idea of flags…....Let me try something.And Yeah, the yellow does look better. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 make the gold text have a gradient, it'll make it a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaron Posted July 24, 2011 Author Share Posted July 24, 2011 o.ODoes it look better. Now I should do my flag idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Delete everything and start again from scratch. Take what you've learnt and use it later on.Believe me. You'll find out very soon how refreshing it is to start on a blank canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
