Olympus Logo Redesign?

[Bear828 140]

[None of this is official, I'm simply creating my take on the brand!]

Hey everyone! I'm currently coming up with concepts and sketches of a new Olympus Entertainment logo in my own style of design and thinking. I'm a newer member here, so I would imagine some of you may have already thought of stuff like this, so I'd love to hear them! I'll PM my current progress of the design to anyone that is actually interested in seeing what I'm up to haha.

Even though I can’t make the decision to actually rebrand, I’m still curious to see what you got going. HMU

I'll be posting the concept design I've been working on when I have finalized, and put it together digitally! I don't know how long until this would happen (could be tonight, could be a few days) since I have client designs to work on. It will be posted, though!

I decided just now that I'd go all out and create an entire branding showcase of the logo to allow people to better understand the depth and meaning put into! This means it might take a little longer to post too hehe...

I am extremely curious because I think a logo redesign is needed as it’s been the same for a long time... also why not do it now as we’re in the middle of an ownership change new owner new logo @Peter Long

[Bear828 140]

@BrothaCain @Millennium at your requests here is the sketch of the logo I chose to go with an finalize. I scrapped all other concepts as they weren't very good, nor presentable. I apologize to everyone for my shitty sketch work. Not even a ruler can keep me from fucking up a straight line.

The 3 pillars are meant to signify the 3 servers Olympus runs. The top bar is meant to be kind of like the staff/contributors sheltering said pillars and watching over it. I was going to add something at the bottom to signify the player base that keeps it all standing and together, but I decided to scrap this idea since the design is already quite busy. I added wings in order to keep some of Olympus' current branding intact, and give the more veteran players a sense of familiarity.

Feel free to let me know what you all think! I'll be finalizing the design soon and then creating the branding showcase to give it a much more presentable environment.

Edit: I forgot to mention why I went the direction I did with the main "architecture". Since the name Olympus is from the ancient Greek mythology "Mt. Olympus", I went ahead and referenced different ancient Greek architecture like the Parthenon.

If anyone here makes logos in Photoshop ima need you to point them out right now so I can get my pitchfork ready... just kidding. Seriously though, don't make logos in Photoshop.

I always sketch out my logo concepts before I actually make them digitally and refined. I'll be doing this with the logo soon, possibly tonight or tomorrow so fear not, you won't have to stare at my shitty for long!

I do texture and design work as a freelancer. I'll see what I can do but the size may make it hard to make it look good in game.
