Hello! I have been making multiple icons for BLADEBOUND that should be attention-grabbing, what do you think of this icon? Just remember, the theme of the game is dark, adventurous, and mysterious.

Looks pretty good, I can’t think of anything that needs changing except maybe the font.
I really like the background, but there is something off with the colors. The contrast between the text and the background is not really great, and it is a little bit hard to read, especially the bottom part of the text, which is much darker. In my opinion, you should make it lighter or make the gradient blur larger (so the barrier between light and dark colors is smoother). Maybe, as well, making the background very slightly colorful and getting better coloring for the text would be better. Also, maybe the sword can be in color as well; if you like it completely grayscale, then sure, leave it; just make the text contrast better. I have no idea how that would look, but you should try flipping the sword 90 degrees to the right and positioning it below the text. Try it, look at it, and if you think it’s better, leave it like that. An extra you could do (that will require a lot of time) is to make the sword slice the text. I can’t really explain it that well, so here are just some images I found on Google:
Good luck on your game, and happy designing!

Yes exactly my thoughts. If you want the icon to “attention grab”, as you say, maybe give the text some colors.

This game icon looks good! It’s a bit too dark and black/grey though, but it’s alright. Nice job on it!
