Far better to have main logo in the center rather than the corner. Speaking of which, the logo looks to be “Hive” then a bunch of scribbles.

The hill has been shaded in reverse (it should be dark on bottom and light on top, not other way round unless its a pathway)

The logo looks to be a splatter of paint rather than a bush, back to the logo text, it’s just far too thin.

Other than that its the best thing I’ve ever seen :+1:

its supposed to look like the BSS logo.
to be fair, that does look like a hill…
please insult the bee’s face.

i am watching you -the bee

also the name is Hive Havoc
if you want to know more about the game play it to actually see the stuff in it and get a good idea of what it is supposed to be and resemble
please give icon feeback

No, it says “Hive Avom”. Where is the second H? How is that not an M at the end?

the shadow makes the c look like an m
also the h’s are stacked on top of eachother, like a logo i have seen.

Didnt even see the shadow. Let’s change it to N (still not a c, lol)

the H just looks thicker, not doubled. Maybe make the other one a lot lower and tilt it?

i will revamp the logo
good idea?

Alright, so I read az09az99096’s feedback, and I agree with them. There are a few things I want to point out regarding your game icon. It will not grab the attention of others. Why? The text and the bee are so small, that you need to point the attention towards them.
Here are a few things I saw that I particularly think you can improve to make your game icon way better!

The roughness and pixelated look here make your game icon look unprofessional, as you can see some lines are blended well, and aren’t pixelated while some are; this does not look good to the eye. But, since the game icon will be small; we can let this issue slide, but this is a note to your future work, such as game thumbnails.

If you will use smooth shadows and a gradient, then you must make it consistent. You can make it consistent by blending them or using a gradient. Because, as you can see below if your work is not consistent it won’t look good.

I asked 6 people about this logo, and I told them what do you think it says?

None of the responses were “Hive Havoc”. Some people said the V looked like a D far away, and Havoc was either Avoc, or Avol.
How do we fix this?
You have two options that still suit your original style, that I suggest such as:


Also, if the bee is the center of attention, then you must have him at the center. No one will be able to see the bee clearly, as you can see; this is how it will look like so the bee is not clear at all. We can totally fix this though by making the bee bigger.

So you can either make the logo, or the bee the center of attention; here are some ideas maybe.

Of course these are in my style, but you get my point. Always experiment around and see what works best in capturing the essence of your game while capturing the attention of the players. Good luck with Hive Havoc it really sounds amazing!

Yeah uhh…
you said you were tring to make it like a logo that you had seen before. do you have an image of that logo?

I just want to know what you’re going for because right now it looks kinda like that cartoon effect when the character starts seeing double after getting bonked in the head.
