After taking time to
think about it I decided to move forward with Peak Productions and
drop the name Horde. I decided on this because Horde is too generic
of a name for a company. Its a word that is commonly found in video
games, and would be difficult to stand out as an individual company.
Since my free hand
designs for Peak Production have failed I have decided to use a pre
existing font for the logo, but of course integrating it into my own
design. I've already had experience creating logos, and know that
dafont.com is a good resource for free to use fonts that are shared
by its community.
After scouring through
and downloading those I felt best reflected Peak Productions, I made
a few simple designs. I've found working simple black and white line
designs is best at the start, and narrowing them down as I develop
them.
Here is the font that I
ultimately chose. I decided on this one because its professional, but
still stands out as pleasing. I've also added colour to the design.
From here I decided to
change the mountain, and remove the blue colour, as it didn't work
very well in black and white, here is the second draft.
As you can see the
mountain now has two peaks, to reflect the two letter Ps in the name,
and would work in either black or white. But I believe the design is
still too simple, and looks more of a movie producing company rather
than game.
Here is the third draft
of my design.
I am very happy with
this design. I believe using negative space was the right choice, and
means its can still work in black and white since it is all one
colour. I also like the mountain, in its simplicity it would be
appropriate scaled down, but has enough variation in his left sided
shadow that itd be appropriate scaled up. I went back and used blue
in the design, but chose a green/blue tone to make it more eye
catching.
