Here is the beginnings of the logo for quest, I was thinking of leaving it as a white wyrm. I dont think there is enough exposure for wyrms or white dragons i think. Maybe thinking of giving him a kinda rainbow breath, to show they can cast multiple colors of breathe. Or maybe just leave it very basic black and white. What do you guys think?

If it's going to be a logo, you definitely need to follow the rules on making logos.

One such rule: Make sure it reproduces well in Black & White.

Perhaps I can add some of my own talent to this project. Will design a logo based on your initial draft here and we'll see how it goes from there.

More power to the project~!

Quest Logo Vectorized

I'll up you on that: vectorised remix : P

Yes, I know it's supposed to be a white wyrm... it can be, just that we would require a dark background. This is a "stamp" version.

Thank you Jim for making that vector for me, can you send it to my email.

Animaster- very nice, gotta make my little sketch look dumb dont ya Wink

im impressed, lets to his lol (im serious) Do think white though, so the "Q" is more visible, dont want people looking for it, the dragon and tower need to contrast. Does everyone agree his is better then mine?

Well, I certainly agree that the Q should be the same colour as the rest of the text. I'll rework it along with a few tweaks to the spacing in between the solid shapes as it doesn't quite seem to scale down as nicely as it should (i.e. the lines disappear into the shapes). The gaps need to be wider, and the middle of the "e" needs to be thickened a bit.

not to be nitpicky but the little eyebrow shape at the bottom of the breathe looks kinda weird also. When scaled down does the eye get messed up being so close to the top of the mouth?

The eye comes out alright. It's the part toward the crest of the tower that worries me. I made the gaps too narrow.

Don't worry about being nit-picky. This is how things evolve, and that was actually a concern of mine as well. At the time I was thinking "why would we need this... meh, I'll keep it an see" so when you point it out, it just confirms my own rationale. I'm kinda like that -- there are time that I tend to keep things even when I sort of know it shouldn't be -- it takes another person or two to get me to realise it. Many times there would even be something that I completely miss!

Which, by the way, is exactly what happened with the playing mats (and I have to thank everyone involved with that coz it was the best re-tooling of my work that I did!)

Speaking of playmats...give me that file. I really want to print them up

I just did a quick colour-key here with a modified version of the logo. My personal favourite is #2:

we don't need two logo's.

but I'm undecided on which jumps out at me the most right now.

Steve (animaster) could make the gamemat...if there is one...

Thanks Jim, it still is, and I don't intend to take on a full-time job as lead designer etc. I just had one of those "episodes" where I just ~had~ to do it : P bout of inspiration... actually I've been meaning to do it for a long time.

On the other hand I've voiced my concern over some the roles I was initially given as I didn't feel I could fulfill it. I prefer to direct art rather than create it, but every now and then I just feel like getting hands-on. I would do anything to help, but I've my own demons to face, and because of this, I see myself fit to direct rather than produce the actual art, if you know what I mean.

When I said playmat, I was referring to the one you made for the normal game. I don't need crazy details...I never got an email.

The logo, how about the third one, but yellow breathe with a red gradient. I love the shadow behind. This looks better then mine cliff Smile

Im perfectly fine doing the original concepts and some oen explode them into something much better, I kinda work the opposite of you animaster which works very nice. Same for stories, I have great ideas but don't execute them as well as I envisioned.
