Been working on a main menu for my new racing game project. Any feedback is appreciated. Yes, the Shop doesn’t have a picture yet just because I don’t have the shop area built yet, because it’ll be like a Showroom where players purchase cars.

I think it’s perfect. It’s not too overwhelming, and the “race now” button is clearly the one I’d want to click first as a new player seeing the UI for the first time.

I really like this UI, but I think a splash of color here and there would help a lot.

I’ve been considering tossing a color logo for the game into the Top Left corner, in that open sort of space. Idk. We’ll see once I have a proper logo together though.

I would make the “Race now” tile brighter. In fact, all the pictures could be brighter.

Ya know, I really have been liking the darkness of it, but now I brightened it up, and I have to say I kinda like it.

I like it. I think it might keep players a little more engaged if you add some color? Maybe add an orange tire skid header on the top, leading to the player name and level.

I agree, some color would really help certain elements stick out a little better. But the layout itself is really nice!

Tire skids are so 2008. Ew.
On a serious note I gotta look into it a bit what to do. Hmm.
Make it 2016 with a spinning wheel instead lol

Looks great, however it’s suggest putting the shop in the bigger tile where ‘practice’ is, and garage where the shop currently is.
But yeah, looks really good. Nice work.
The trophy is a nice touch, but perhaps only show it or show multiple of them when the user wins a few races.
As it was said, I really like the simplistic look! If you really want it to pop as a neat looking menu while still maintaining the simplicity, I’d try to shape it sort of how 2016 NFS did. Have the Garage, Shop, Practice, and News surrounding the centered ‘Race Now’ button.
Keep up the good work!

I’d do this if I wanted to do a ton with animating like the NFS series did, however, I just can’t be bothered lol.
I felt like giving Practice extra room, and Garage & Shop the same space because:
Racing - Biggest Priority
News/Currency Purchase - 2nd Biggest Priority (Also possibly might add a 3rd section to that board)
Practice - Gameplay element, therefore big priority
And then Shop & Garage are both revolving around cars & car customization, so I like them on a level playing field together.

Can’t argue with that reasoning. 
That looks cool, but also looks confusing to me. Though that’s probably just me being dyslexic. >_<

There’s way too much going on in that menu. If the background were less busy this might be better.
Personally I’m not a fan of metro design. It’s messy.
It looks nice but the menu needs a bit more colour I think, make it look more appealing to the eye.
Hope this helps!
