Idea for a new logo...

Post by Ramaj »

I am a graphic designer by trade and a stickler for typography. The other day I stumbled upon a font called 'Gothic Love Letters' with descenders that look like flesh hooks. So I went into photoshop and voila:

I like the current lettering but I think that one looks more Druchii-like. I would still include the Druchii portraits on the side. Let me know what you guys think; any suggestions for improvements etc...

Why WFB Elves are great:

1. Malekith only has one arm ;)
2. Tyrion's 'monster' mount is a horse
3. Teclis drinks all the time
4. Morathi looks like she strips for a living

It seems kind of SF, with those lightnings... not exacly runes, to. I seem to stick with the old ones, sorry. Am I conservative?

I've been contemplating new graphic elements. D.net could use some fresh artwork. However, no offense, I'm not sold on your sample. It looks really good on it's own but doesn't integrate well to the existing site design, IMO. Plus I'm not going to be able to consider implementing anything for a while - at least until the summer - and even then it will need to be a thorough design review. Druchii.net is a highly dynamic site and it will take some forethought to fold in new graphics.

All in all, it is a nice effort, Ramaj. But I don't think that it will fit right now. Still, Gothic Love Letters is a great font and I may tap your ideas when I can manage the time to do a proper graphic overhaul.

Now, if you want to do a banner with the new font in the existing style, I might consider dropping that in place. No guarantees, though.
Because anyone vicious enough to shoot down her own battlecruiser because there might be a traitor at the helm deserves to have a Druchii namesake.

The lighting effects are rather nice, but I'm not too keen on the font. The letters are a bit too drawn out.
