Design Process
This logo is almost entirely hand painted. This first 4 step is a ground for the following painting steps. After searching and choosing a suitable font, I create desired effect by modifying the letters. After that for the three dimensional text effect I copy the front layer and resize it to match the desired thickness.
Painting Process
This step took me 2 days from start to finish. I have custom made brush pack for concept art paintings. I used textured brush for this work.
Software : Adobe Photoshop CC
Hardware : Xp Pen Deco 03 Wireless Graphic Tablet

"Simple is beautiful" is my motto when its comes to designing things. I've been a designer for 13 years. I designed furniture, instruments, graphics, logos, I painted people. Years of experience have taught me that simple results are harder to achieve. When you want to have beautiful things, humans tend to overcomplicate and overthink. Thus will have a chaotic results. Simple is really the most beautiful outcome.
I researched the game industry and find out every serious game has simplistic yet elegant logos. This is why I approached this contest by making a logo looks like belong to a serious AAA game.
