Help us design a logo for our gaming group!

By Marzaums, in X-Wing Off-Topic

Hey guys,

As I have no Artistic talent and no one in our group has, I’m looking for someone to design a logo for our gaming group. We usually play x-wing and armada on Thursday night at our game store. Our games are streamed on Fly casual on YouTube.

We are called the outer rim cantina, so we are looking for something with the scum or cantina in our logo. Also this is our current Facebook banner so if you can incorporate our motto that would be awesome. I can’t really offer payment but I might be able to offload some promos to sweeten the deal. (X-wing and Armada). Also we can promote your name on our YouTube channel as well.

If you need more info, let me know.

Thanks

I'm a graphic designer myself. I have an idea for a type-only version, unless you really want graphics too. I might have time tomorrow to whip it up quick.

awesome, yeah graphics would be good @markcsoul i'm in no rush to have one done, so take your time ;)

thanks!

So this is what I had in mind. Doing it like the movie titles. Let me know what you think.

That's awesome, Thank you. I really like the bottom one. Is it possible to make the font the same size? I just want to see how it would look like. ( a person in the group thinks the cantina bit looks too big) also another is thinking of top line: The, middle: Outer Rim, bottom: Cantina

Thanks :)

I'll try to do the updates tomorrow if I have time.

I can tell you right now that making all the words the same size will probably look bad, but I'll still make one so you can see for yourself. I think something bigger than what it currently is could still look good though.

I'll try the alternate version as well. Let me know if there's any certain colors you want in the logo, as well as if you'll normally be using it on a dark or light background as that will make a difference.

Also this is what I was referencing when I made your logo in case you weren't aware. I didn't make it exactly the same, just similar.

Yeah @markcsoul , i knew what your on about. I basicly explained the same idea that you just said. I just used the clone wars logo lol

As for color schemes, was looking at scum colours like boba fett green and that mustard yellow thats on the base of scum ships and brown.

Ok here are the updates:

So I used some colors like what you suggested. Not sure if they are exactly what you wanted or not.

The first logo has "outer" & "rim" the same font size as "cantina". As I thought yesterday, it doesn't look very good IMO. The second logo I did at half the size of "cantina", but I still think it looks a bit too big. The third logo is smaller yet, but larger than the one I showed you yesterday. I think that looks pretty good myself.

Then I have the alternate version at the end using the size scale I liked best.

Let me know what you think!

Hope I'm not stepping on your toes @markcsoul

Just thought I'd see what their "Cow Tipping" would look like on a version of what you did.

Thanks everyone for your input. We actually like the @Force Majeure design with a sliver/black background look that @markcsoul created. Like the bottom one. The group for some reason didn't like the scum colour scheme. Thanks!

Is this what you were thinking then?

You mentioned silver which my original wasn't, it was more of a light tan. So I'm showing both options.

Just to warn you though having a very wide logo like this one might cause some issues down the road. Wouldn't be able to make it as big on a shirt for example as if it had been less narrow.

Thanks so much @markcsoul , awesome work! I just have one more request. Can you change the 'cow tipping since wave 3' with 'scrub' on the top and 'wars' on the bottom in the sliver. Hopefully this this the last requests from the group. (fingers crossing.) I will go though my pile I send a PM later to you to let you know what i have as Alt cards i have.

Just some designer humor:

If there are definetly no more changes you'll have to let me know what file format(s) you want for the final logo and where to send them.

I'm assuming using on shirts, web, and maybe some promo materials?
