A friend had come to me to design a logo that would he wanted to use for his Major League Gaming (MLG) team. He wanted it to look futuristic, glitchy and gave me the word "assassin" to work this. This is the first draft that I created for him. He was happy how the character looked but wanted to mess around with colours. The next three images where different colours schemes that were incorporated into the design. Throughout the rest of the project we continued to mess around with colours while we included text and effects.
Remembering again that he wanted it to look futuristic and glitchy I was able to find this font that made the text look like it was glitched.
He liked the text so I put the two together. He didn't like how flat the text looked compared to the character so I went back and added some depth to the text.
Here is the character and the text with depth added. He liked the way it looked so the next step was to add effects to the overall design.
The following images are several effects that I added to the design to get that futuristic and glitchy look that he was wanting.
With all of the different effects and colour schemes that we tried this was the one that he liked the most.
This is the final design with the character behind the text. We tried adding the glitch effect to the text but it made the text unlegible and he didn't like how it looked. This is the final design that we came to after several design itereations. He was very happy with it and couldn't wait to use it.
