The Awoken Guardians of Titus team logo designs

These are the designs of the team logos for our trailer - The Awoken: Guardians of Titus, my design is the one on the top left

It took me some time to come up with an idea for my logo. Originally I was going for possibly a lion head and Titus Salt looking at each other, but I couldn't get a background, text and effects that'd go with it. Seeing as many games have portraits of characters or influencial people in their designs I went for something simple but still look cool. I thought of either a fire effect to go with this apocalyptic future we're going for or a smokey effect to represent a mystery behind the this magical stone and the lions coming to life in the story.

I started by doing a radial gradiant, navy blue and black and placed it in the centre of an A4 sized document on Photoshop, with the text "The Awoken Guardians of Title" in the middle. I went through many fonts, originally aiming for a fancy style. Unfortunatly, after attempting to blur the text with motion and gaussian blurs, the text became unreadable, resulting with me having to go with a bigger text. After that I continued with the blurring - It was a success, then I got a smoke brush and carefully brushed around the text. giving it a nice smokey effect.

Other desigsn

The first design I'll discuss is the one on the top left, made by Robert Briggs. This one I like, the red cloud effect gives it a sort of apocalyptic/chaotic feel too it  followed by a lens flare which is faded - representing a dim sun

The second design is made by Adam Thompson at the bottom left corner. I can see what he was intending with the fire and the sand, but unfortunatly since we're going for a sci-fi horror type genre, it doesn't resemble that genre in my oppinion, however I would defiently choose it for maybe a fantasy type genre or possibly a war or adventure type.

I'm going to review both Ivo and Lewis' together since they are pretty much the same design with the lion heads, however their different use of fonts is really nice, given it a fancy style. It's a shame they left it like that because I think it had so much potential if they added some colour and/or effects to it.

Final design

After much discussion, it turned out my design was the chosen one for the project, however after listening to some other ideas, I went on to tweak the original design, many of the ideas were to make the background red instead of a navy blue style and also add a lion head and Titus' head in the background. So here is the final verdict
