Opinion wanted: Which logo looks best?

#1 is a bit plain. Also, blue on blue is a bit low contrast.
#2 is a bit too low contrast between script border and interiour; makes it the hardest to read.
#3 is therefore my favourite, though I wouldn’t have said so if you’d just shown me the fill pattern

Hope that helps!

#1 is a no. blue on blue… that’s too much. What if a color-blind player can’t see blue?

#2. I like the bold outline and the fire-like inside the letter

#3. I like the faded grid in the background inside of the letters. and there is something more, like the splash of white. My vote is #3

I think it depends on what type of game you’re going for. The first is calming, the second is very active, and the third kind of splits the difference. If you think the game is going to be high action, then I’d go with the second or third one.

For preference, I think I like the second one. The fiery pattern looks more interesting than the others. But, not sure if that sells the game the best.

I don’t think a logo will sell your game. A proper title can attract attention but a logo won’t do much. As long as the logo doesn’t resemble a competitor and it isn’t plain ugly (although that’s fine too, players look at screenshots, videos they don’t care much about the logo) you’ll be fine.

Just look at DA 2, it’s plain ugly the whole game and it sells like hot cakes >:)

The first has no real contrast, it doesn’t really stand out, and the third is also a little plain. What you want in a logo is something that grabs the attention. The second one does nicely in this regard.

I’ll also disagree with Mike here. An attention grabbing logo will help get eyeballs on your game. By itself, no, it won’t sell your game, but it will contribute to your sales.

There was a post by Steve Pavlina many years ago when he was still a game developer, in which he stated that the various factors of your game process had a multiplicative effect. These factors were thing like quality, marketing, webpages, payment process, and the like. If one of these factors was low then your entire sales funnel suffers.

Your logo is one of those factors, if it sucks it will negatively impact your sales.

Don’t take me wrong, I won’t say it is good to have an ugly logo, but simply a nice one is enough. In this case the difference is minimal, however I think that the second one attracts more attention.
