I want to create a simple artstyle for my game, including thumbnail and game icon, but I am not sure what else to add to this. I still feel that it is lacking something, I just don’t know what.
Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated, however I don’t want to sway too far off from this design as I feel like I have something going on here already! Cheers!
For the icon, I think it’s lacking text. Maybe add a gradient in the background to both of them. I would also recommend putting a watermark.
Thumbnails are square, so I recommend putting the test ON the tank
Thumbnails are not square, game icons are. Thumbnails are 16:9
Hey, thanks for the watermark tip. I completely forgot some people steal other peoples work.
Also, as I said, I’d like to keep the style rather simplistic, and I have tried to put text on the game icon before, however with how small the icon can get, it doesn’t really work well unfortunately.
As to the gradient tip, I’ll definitely give it a try, so bear with me.
oof I got them mixed up again.
No problem lol. I did provide both though.
Watch the language, it’s against the rules
woops, my bad, still new to this devforum jig
It looks great! If you are trying to do a shadow, I would suggest moving the text over to the left/right instead of just moving it down. I also agree with adding something to the background.
The main point of this game icon is surrounded by a sun ray effect instead of just a hot pink background, giving it some “character”.
Hi, the text is actually moving both down and right.
I’m going to attempt to add a mild gradient from the center of the game icon so it “pops” more!
It’s sort of hard to tell that with the font you have chosen.
I suppose it is a bit, oh well.
In all honesty, it’s just too bland.
As a player, I would skip past this game as the logo is not that inviting, it isn’t a game that children would click on.
I myself would skip over it as it is a boring logo with barely any colour, you will notice in this picture:
Hmm, you’re absolutely right! I need to think different then, and take some inspiration from the front page!
Black and white is not really the way to go considering most people like colors. I’m not sure if you are using Photoshop but I’m sure there is a lot of tutorials on how to make good titles and logos. I wouldn’t recommend using one fill background color and no black thin border.
The mellow colors are decent but you may want to go with brighter colors and/or text that pops out more. Like what may be good for you is to try and make the rank and text tied together somehow (like one single icon rather than two separate parts).
