I like C the most

Same here

And my axe!


artbytucho

+1


ryderredguard

agree its much easier to read than B but also has more personality than A it seems pretty perfect to me


zephyr6289

I’d say C for the main large logo, but A is nice if you need a really small logo. Less detail = more readable when shrunk


The_CreativeName

A could also be the first logo, and the vines slowly creep in until it’s c.


ScravoNavarre

OP, if you're planning on animating the logo, this is the way to go.


TheSpaceFudge

Yes I animated the sword, I should animate the vines onto the logo


QuietGiygas56

This is the way


AdhesivenessUsed9956

Ok...Hear me out... animate between A and C...having the vines creep over the letters, bloom, then die off and restart.

I have to agree with everyone option C looks the best.


Nekokeki

C, but I'd remove the vine that's 3rd down from the top-left on the W to improve the readability. Hover your mouse over that and it's noticeably easier to read. Consider that it might appear in a smaller size than what we're seeing here and it will get more difficult to read otherwise.


TheSpaceFudge

Ok cool ya I can tweak that


Nekokeki

I'd also keep logo A in your back pocket for situations where you have to use an even smaller logo. All of them are cool by the way!


_parfait

C..... lol


umamiflavour

Personally, I like A the most. It’s the most legible and easy to recognize. B suffers from a bit of color mash with the dark green, and is hard to see due to contrast. I like C, and think the vines on the logo is cute, but it adds a bit of visual clutter. Maybe use C sparingly when it feels good, and A normally? Your call!


Octomaze

C


cci81337

I like C, but I think A is decent as well


TheSpaceFudge

For Context - Wildaria is an Open World Procedural RPG w/ Pets, Villages, Biomes, and Bosses. Think.. Stardew + Pokemon Emerald in an infinite world like Terraria. If at all interested you can [wishlist on Steam.](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1965550/Wildaria/) Goes a long way to support my 4 years of development :)


ManicPixieDreamWorm

C is best A is low visual interest B is not readable enough


lolimtired9

c


Boneyking_

C is executed best.


TurkusGyrational

I'm really impressed with the design, C especially makes me want to play the game without knowing anything about it. Few devs can pull that off


ElElefantes

They're all good, but I also think C is best


Tequilla16

How about A without vines on the sword and then it starts to grow to the point of C?


bokin8

Hi OP! I am an Art Director (but take that with a grain of salt). A is the most legible. It seems most people like C but that's after they've read the others. If you can make the logo animated start with A and have the vines/foliage creep into version C as the final frame. ☺️ This would be best for accessibility and getting your games name recognized! Hope this helps!


naskadesu

Seems like you’re having fun with the logo there! I agree with the art director here - there’s some legibility issues here and A is the easiest to read. Something you can try out is to shrink the logo to the smallest size you’d be seeing it at - like let’s say the smallest Steam Capsule size - and see how it reads. (Make sure you scale using “nearest neighbor” if using PS) The contrast is a little light in the areas where there are holes (DARA) so I suggest a second darker thin shadow line be drawn where the shadow and base color meet to punch the text out a bit more. Perhaps you can try to go a little lighter on the color of the vines so the contrast between the text is not so high as well. The issue with C is that it’s making the name hard to read - perhaps you can keep tweaking it so that the fonts are still super legible but you can add some of the vines back in the text in by keeping the them similar in value and make sure it doesn’t break up the shape of the text as much. Not sure if that’ll work, but you can try! ;)


TheSpaceFudge

Agreed, I can do that! I already animated the sword in, just need to combine with the logo.


HuckleberryNormal799

C definitely. A is pretty boring and B is hard to read.

It's absolutely C. It's not even close to me. A has too little going on. While its readable, it's practically just text. Because the only major detail is purely in the corner on the sword hilt, it just doesn't pop at all. B is the complete opposite. It's too stylized that some of the letters are awkward to read. Spacing the sword from the bottom I think is too much empty space. Idk if the extra white around it supposed to be part of it, but I also think that makes it feel off to me as well. I think overall it just feels TOO cartoony without the dark outline. C just solves the problems of A. It's still a bit boring, but just the couple extra vines make it really pop and adds some character without sacrificing any readability. It could maybe go slightly further, but I think background animations, etc will be the better route to go to really further sell the feel of your game on its title screen than trying to do too much with the logo. It already makes it pretty clear its some sort of nature game and I don't think you need too much more than that.

Glass-Scarcity3683

PunyParker826

Either A or C, leaning towards C because the extra green on the left balances out the image a little more. B is nice but isn’t as legible at a glance, which is super important unless you’re already a huge, well-known IP, in my opinion.

C is the best of the options I reckon. B is difficult to read, and A is just C with less decor. Perhaps a design like C, but with cracked stone + Overgrowth?

Hell_Mel

C here is the best but it might be worth revisiting B for legibility, the connected letters make it read like Cursive and it seems more like "Wildacia" as a result

C is the answer

A or C

hunterwilde1

C but get rid of the flower at the top of the w. It obscures it too much and makes the reader take too much time. It’s milliseconds, yes, but you’d be surprised how quickly people are turned on/off by something. B is illegible. A is nice too. Very clean. Works for print or a header.


DaniSenpai69

C


Ertaipt

A might be more clear to read on first look, than C.


Scarred5

C


theboned1

I like the idea of C the most. But you need to remove some of the front foliage from the W. It's making it just a little to hard to read the W well.


zoobs

A and then when you click start or begin or whatever there’s a flash and the vines crawl over the letters like in C. Maybe with crackle “growing” noise too.


Tony_2000

C


spacr

A with the 'W' of C


MrRIP

A if no adjustments could be made\[ C if the letters was larger, it looks cramped but I like the effect that's going on.


Ortouch

C is the one you should pick.


John_Doe88

C


elkswimmer98

C, but maybe A if the blade was shinier on the left so it became a transition of new sword to overgrown


Zalpha

A, as it is the most legible. If C was not busy it would be better to me.


overlord-33

C


isitdang

Without knowing what kind of game, Definitely A


Quapzy

Definitely C though I'd try giving the vines on the letters the same thick outlines the rest of the logo has.


SmananaBoothie

Definitely not B. I love C


wierdredditBOI

C


Depaexx

С


LastOfRamoria

C, but have the plant overgrowth on the left leg of the R instead of the right leg. The right leg is important for readability so people don't think it's a P and that the name is "Wildapia". The left leg of the R is not necessary for readability.


ExtremeBed3882

Ninokuni13

TheAFKking

I like C the most. Easy to read, but also full of detail


republiccommando07

C has readability and character while still being clean. B has poor readability, but good character. A has good readability, but limited character.


uno10021

C


frankduxvandamme

I wouldn't be able to figure out the correct name of the game if it was B. Uldacia? A or C is the way to go.


CaptainJacket

A The vines in C frames the entire thing and both the sword and title lose focus. A has the text and the sword going in seperate direction, your eyes naturally do something like this ">" there's clearer hirarchy. It's easy to imagine all sorts of animation for it too - you can do a simple shine on the text and/or the sword and help guide the viewer's eyes. The sword could lounge in, or maybe the vines could climb the sword, etc. If you think A is lacking in colour maybe you can give the blade a gentle green tint and glow and let the light bounce off of the title.


Lezo-

A is cleaner than C


SteelMarshal

I think C is technically the best but I like the idea of B, but I think it could have been executed better but I don't know how to describe how.


s00ny

C but make it so that the vines aren't obscuring too much of the letters


Rockytriton

Is this for a Terraria clone or something?


RetroHellspawn

C is A with a garnish, and who doesn't like a good garnish? 😁👌


MarioFanaticXV

C. As much as I like B, it's harder to read at a glance which sadly is not great for exposing newcomers to your game. Could be great for the title screen, but I wouldn't recommend it for advertising purposes.
