Contest Brief

As an indie game developer, I need a logo to use everywhere in my online/social presence (website, profiles in social networks, Patreon, game stores, Discord etc).

I make games mostly in sci-fi and post-apocalyptic settings, in strategy (RTS, TBS, city builder) genre. My target audience is males 18-34 with STEM background. Think games like Fallout, Alpha Centauri, Command & Conquer, Starcraft, XCom, Master of Orion, Deus Ex.

I'm generally not going to publish anything in fantasy, casual or historical setting, so the focus is on the sci-fi/near future/post-apocalyptic/cyberpunk/robots/space aesthetics.

It's going to be PC/Mac/Linux games primarily. There may be ports to consoles or mobile, but those platforms are secondary. So, avoid symbols of game controllers, touch screens, joysticks - stuff that only exists on platforms irrelevant to my brand. Moreover, my audience has a dislike for anything mobile/casual/f2p, so references to that would actually be detrimental to sales.

What should be in the logo:
- some picture / graphic relevant to the setting of sci-fi / post-apocalyptic / cyberpunk and strategy games
- (maybe) my initials "I G"
- all of it must fit into a square

What should NOT be in the logo:
- my name ("Igor Galochkin")
- other words or phrases like "indie game", "indie game developer", "strategy game" etc
- just "IG" in some fancy font or imaginative compositions resembling these 2 letters

Employer Feedback

“Jaundre was by far the best artist on this logo contest. He submitted at least a dozen logo variants which were better than most of the other participant's entries. In the end, it was essentially the choice between several of his different entries. I'm happy that he enjoyed the theme and the brand I needed the logo for. I recommend Jaundre for any design-related projects of yours since he is very talented and highly motivated.”

  thank you sir for the respond and i already checked the games ,but I meant if you could give examples of logos you like or the style of it (3D, minimal, mascot) or maybe some color suggestions... that would really help designers to design the logo you need.
