This is my final logo that i made using illustrator. At first, i was really unsure about how the logo would turn out if i used illustrator instead of photoshop, but i really like this final product compared to the concept of the logo in photoshop. Following a kingdom hearts type logo, I was able to the two different areas of the city, the heavy and dirty industrial area, and the nicer housing districts. Also, using Illustrator, I decided to get a little creative and i tried to create a gear, but after making it, i thought, why not also make a waterwheel, since they are both major parts of the industrial revolution. Using some imagination, the top part of the city represents industry, with the darker colors showing pollution and the smoke stacks spewing smoke. Meanwhile the bottom represents the housing districts that are powered with waterwheels and flowing rivers. These are also going to be two main settings for the game.
When I integrated it into my title screen, I replaced the existing Lexington billboard and decided to have it dissolve in and out every couple seconds so it was animated like the rest of the GIF. I ended up having to make it into a video because it was not working as a GIF. it will still need a little work to be cleaned up, but it still looks good.
Cool stuff, I like the buildings all the way around and gears. Little bit steam punk.
ReplyDeleteawesome logo, great work in illustrator. the colors, shapes, layout, everything came out great. the cool thing is that the shapes fit the font and the time period. artwork, wood carvings, and so on, had this simple graphic representation of real world objects. in your animation, i really like how the moon causes the logo to swipe out. i still think you can make a really cool beat up billboard and place your graphic on it, but i also really like how the moon swipes out the logo. maybe you can have the smoke in front of the billboard and the smoke gets thick and hides the billboard and then gets light and reveals it.
