I asked this in my Dev. Studio, but seeing as nobody said anything and I need opinions, I'm asking here, where hopefully more people will see and give opinions.

I've been trying to come up with a logo for the dragon slayers in Slayers' Reign. Something simplistic. I'm having a little trouble, though. This is the best I can come up with so far. Take a good look at it, remembering that it is a concept design for the logo for the dragon slayers.



Alright, now that you've seen it, what do you see? Can you see the S mirroring itself? Can you see the S and R? Can you see a resemblance to wings, or some sort of bird? And, finally, were you able to see these things before I pointed them out?

An alternate design was putting a sword between the two halves. But then it resembled a Christmas bow to me. Could just be the season we're in, but that's not something I wanted regardless. It also looked like a crown when I adjusted the hilt of the sword higher.

Sorry I missed this!

I have a good excuse (putting a life back together). But everyone else ?

Anyway...

I see an R mirroring itself, but the s is lost on me.

The bottom curve is too different from the top. ("S is for Symmetry... That's Good Enough for Me!) ([/cookiemonsterimpersonation])

I also saw the birdy shape before you mentioned it. But I did not see the s at all.

I hope that helps.

Peace.

i see a scribble.

It helps in that now I know I was right when I thought it didn't look right. It looked so much better in my head.

I think it might help if you extend the bottom curve out a bit. I'll see what I can whip up in paint as an example.

Well whatever I do, it has to work as an RPGM1 sprite. The one I'm showing is an enlarged version solely for showing you guys, since RPGM1 sprites are so small and I don't intend on using a regular title screen. These are more the size that they'll be:
(the current one being the first, on the top-left)



Obviously the ones with open tops I'm not even considering. The one on the bottom-right, I think the top curve ending into a straight line doesn't look very good. I'm partial to the one next to that one, but I'm not sure if I like it curving in so high.

(BTW, I forgot to note, the "S" would be the left half, with the "R" also looking like the "S" mirrored.)

I think the bottom right is the best one there.

I think I prefer the one on the right of the second row or the one on the right of the bottom row. Hope that helps.

Numbered so that it'll be easier to identify them.
11-16 are new. 11, 13, 15, and 16 are edits of 9. 12 and 14 are edits of 10. 16 is sorta a just-for-kicks deal, and I probably won't have those lines making the wings look more draconic since the dragon slayers are against dragons.

I like 13 and 14. With 14, I'll probably extend the bottom tips just a slight bit so they'd be the length of 13's. My final decision will probably be between these.

Truthfully I can't see any difference in any of them except the ones with the open tops...

14 is my fav. Although I like the idea of something in the wings like you have in 16

A lot of the differences are pretty subtle.

1 has the roundest "wings".
2 has slightly extended and more frazzled tips than 5 and 6, and a slightly rounder outside joint than 5.
3 has the bottom half of the wing curving upwards instead of downwards.
4 is similar, but has squattier wings and the middle curve curving closer to the inside.
5 and 6, I already compared with 2.
7 has more oval wings than the rest.
8's wings are flat on the bottom.
9, I basically took 7 and pulled the outside edges of the wings down.
10, the outside of the wings is flat.
11 is like 9, except the inside of the wings don't go up as high.
12 is like 10, except the wings are taller.
13 is like 11, except the tail tips are slightly longer.
14 is like 10, except the wings are shorter.
15 is like 11, except the tail tips are a bit more frazzled.
16 is basically 13 with lines in the wings making the wings resemble dragon wings.

Does that help?

Of all of these, I guess I would pick number 13. Could you just have a little white line in the center bottom section kinding hinting more towards an 'r'? I just have trouble really seeing it as an 'r' for some reason. Sorry I haven't posted in here before Draygone. Honestly, I didn't really know what to contribute. Now I see a little more about how exactly you want people to respond.

Nah, if I put a line there, it'd be even more likely to be interpreted as an R mirrored against itself. The symbol is used in the main plot as a mirrored S. The S standing for "Slayers", of course. It's mirrored to resemble wings like a bird, somewhat a symbol of peace. Only for the title is the right half supposed to be seen as an R. SR, Slayers' Reign.
