Spoiler: bachelor #2: EXCITING FUN also i am not taking criticism at this time

use this

[chamber]

i had the idea to make the f into a knife and the i look like a magnifying glass but haven't found a way to make it look good yet, if that's even a good idea

I think brainstorming should just be about throwing as much at the wall as you can and worrying about serious critiques after you've done that.

[northsidegal]

did a few tests of a wood background for sepia, if people are attached to that style:

Spoiler: 3

and the previews:

Spoiler: 3

personally i think that 3 would only work if it had some kind of art in the background, but i haven't tried that yet

[northsidegal]

a version with just the white text and no background shadow isn't actually that illegible:

did a few tests of a wood background for sepia, if people are attached to that style:

please no
faux wood will always remind me of 80s electronics

that's basically antithetical to the period that sepia is meant to invoke

[northsidegal]

i don't know if it's actually meant to be wood or not, i was mostly just attempting to make something similar to the old sepia logo background

[Dunnstral]

I don't like the glowing text version

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

hmm, do we really need the tagline?

[Ircher]

I think the tagline complements it quite well.

[Dunnstral]

i was bored and quickly threw something together just to see if there is interest in the idea. pretty rough in its current state imo (i think the knife could use quite a bit of work)

This doesn't work on mafiasilver.

that's just a quick palette change though. I sent the red/white version because i use the default skin and thats what works here

The knife is what doesn't work on mafsilver

[northsidegal]

this is the placeholder logo fyi

Spoiler: spoilers for undertale

[Dunnstral]

here's an initial test without really anything too fancy:

and how it looks on mafblack:

and a black text version for sepia:

i had the idea to make the f into a knife and the i look like a magnifying glass but haven't found a way to make it look good yet, if that's even a good idea

I was thinking 'wow, this really looks like our current logo'

It's because the f and i are super tall

I don't think it makes sense for the f to be super tall anymore, though. Is that the font?

[Ythan]

Do you still mean the color?

[Ythan]

That's how the letter f is. Look,

mafiascum

[northsidegal]

you're actually right, i deliberately made the f that tall. i can post one where it's smaller / closer in size to the other letters for comparison, if you want.

also, in the spirit of just trying things and while i'm still trying out different sepia designs, i made one with some icons, so i suppose i might as well post it.

[Dunnstral]

The knife being silver and thin and fading away doesn't work on mafsilver, I imagine

I prefer when the f isn't that pronounced going up

[Dunnstral]

That's kind of a cool idea nsg

I'm not sure if I like the gun or not. I feel like the other gun imagery on previous mafiascum merch was tacky. Again, I really don't like the glowing font thing, and I'd also prefer if there was no wood background - that's just my opinion though. Also the logo is a tad too tall. I really like the silhouette style; I like when it's not visually 'noisy'

[Ythan]

I believe that's why someone was talking about changing the colors for different skins!

[Ircher]

I prefer when the f isn't that pronounced going up

Yeah this. The 'f' kinda sticks out noticeably.

[Dunnstral]

I prefer the full lowercase look of the logo, personally, after thinking about it yesterday

here's a "silhouette" version with a gradient rather than wood background:

Spoiler: 1

Spoiler: preview

i think the colors on this one might be a bit off but consider it sort of a proof of concept for the gradient background i guess


here's my initial test with a smaller f, i also had to change the centering around a little:

[Dunnstral]

Why does it need a box at all? That looks better than the wood though

[Davsto]

I just think that font in lowcaps makes the a's look really out of place. the m's and c have smooth tops but the a doesn't and it looks odd.

[chamber]

I think that red looks really bad on the sepia brown.

[Dunnstral]

That's the same red the live logo had, was that bad too? What about the darker red I used?
