ThornPlutonius Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think the logo that you've chosen is the worst of the lot. I prefer either the one for the Quick Start or the one above it in your blog post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave the rules. Another option would be to split the rune bar, raise it slightly, so that you have the scroll work in the middle.

And With any other Colors... it's still OK...(I could even say it's great :p) True, I just can't get over that E and S. It just looks so wrong, to the point that it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the title font.

SDLeary Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 12 hours ago, Jason Durall said: Here's the thing. The RuneQuest logo needs to be readable on the spine of the book. Ideally, at a distance. The one we didn't use (with the ornate scrollwork at top and bottom) is too thick vertically for easy placement. So you have to remove the runes and the red designwork to make it fit. At that point, it's another Celtic uncial title, which we were not thrilled with. Not technically true. The Guide has a plain spine with a nice readable font. This actually makes it stand out better and makes it identifiable from a greater distance. And I think Uncial fonts have been over done too; perhaps replacing with a strong Roman font. The overall design of that logo is pretty good, just get rid of the scroll work, or split the rune line into two. SDLeary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's critical we protect important books. Let me know how much it'd cost to print up a few extras ... I may need to buy one (or more). Also, please consider printing oversized, on a slipcover, so I can FINALLY get a decent treatment for the GtG ..

Jigawatts Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 As someone who has never played RuneQuest, reading through all various logos over the years from the article, this one stood out to me as the best and definitely my favorite. I agree that if it was oriented like the one that was chosen (RQ on top, runes in middle, RP in G on the bottom) it would be perfect. One thing I am confused about with the final chosen one, why yellow instead of red? Going by the article, red definitely seems to be the iconic color of the RuneQuest line, just seems odd to abandon that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard S. Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) To all the people confused about the color, you do realize it's probably not that hard to change it if necessary, right? Edited March 23, 2018 by Richard S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soltakss Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 It's a logo. Once I look at the cover and see that this is a RuneQuest supplement, I then forget about the logo completely. 7 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
