Description
Updated with version 3 and 4, V. 3 is not really a new version, as I just re-added the lineart, for you too more clearly see the difference.In version 4 I added a second border around the text to fill out the empty space I felt shouldn’t be there, although I do have a bit of a problem getting it right. It looks a bit dull just being a plain color, and I would have liked for it to be dark (as the background WILL be white) but then it won’t compliment the already black border around the text. I just slapped on a random texture for reference, and I think that’s perhaps the way to go, what are your thoughts? A lighter border with some texture, maybe with a red theme, might look good, although done before. I’m looking for things that will really make this logo pop out and make people go “Hey, what’s that?”.
I have also edited, per suggestion, the letters so they won’t be as “separated”, and thus easier to read.
Give me your feedback!
PS. And do keep in mind that this logo won’t be this big when printed, nor online when I post it, so don’t get too hung up on detail, it’s the bigger picture I want to enhance here.

the words stand out much nicer in this version ^^ i still think the sharp thingies (for lack of better name) should be tinted an ivory color

Ah, man, this is great, thanks a lot for taking extra time like this, I would shake your hand right now, but ya know...
The second version is out, and I allready see some troublesome areas, but I leave it for you people to help me out with. And I haven't really considered doing some outer-edge-thingy on the borders like I did to the text, but it might be a good idea actually, I'll do some more work after I have heard what people have to say about this version.

woow, looks really great, but i think the lil dude on the right is a lil faded, the blue color that surrounds the type is really distracting- mabey somthing in a black or a dark dark red would look good, oooohhh mabey some splatter around the text to makeit look more sinister ( if you are using illustrator you can do brush tool on straight lines on a seperate layer).
other then that can wait to see what you do next, please send me a note if you can of when you have the next version out, thanks!

I am using Photoshop to do the whole thing, and thanks for the suggestions, but as for the right one being a bit "faded", that was done intentionally for you people to comment on which you prefered, the left or the right one, you would know this had you read the description.
But! The second version is now out, so please take a look!

The text is good, but hard to read especially the bottom part of it where it becomes dark. I like the color of the monster on the left. I think it's better if it stands out from the text. Otherwise the whole thing might just look like mush. Really, the way this logo looks should depend somewhat on the background, so it's hard to be sure. I'd just say that contrast is the most important thing to consider here.

Aight, second version is out, if you feel like taking a quick look.

The metalic shine is a nice touch, but breaking the letters apart into separate pieces seems distracting. When I step back from it and sort of relax my eyes, I can no longer read it. This seems especially true for the word "dreams", perhaps because it is the smallest in size. Maybe you could get away with leaving "A Night Of" the way it is, but make "dreams" more solid, like each letter is one piece of steel.
As for the monsters, their horns seem to blend into the white background too much. Otherwise, they look good.

Bleh.. But the letters all being toghether looked so boring (initially colored it like this, until I got the idea to seperate the letters). But, I shall play around with them some more.
And about the decoratives and their horns, in the next version I have reapplied the lineart, as well as working on something behind ALL of the logo, I felt like introducing another color, a dark saturated red (to bring the text and the border toghether better) still playing with various ways of making it blend with the logo nicely, as well as not making it become too much. I'm looking for something else rather than just a plain border.

Using the lineart is a good idea, but be carefull about adding the red. If it is too close in value to the dark letter strokes, you'll lose them. You may have to put a lighter thin border around the letters to separate them from the red background.

Indeed, I don't want the black border to dissapear, but I still want a dark red, so adding a thinner border all around it might be an idea, but then I also have to keep in mind that this is starting to really become a bit too much, logos is generally simple, I know this, but I wanted to take it a step further keeping in mind the nature of the story. But I'll play with it, I might come up with something.
Thanks for your feedback thus far.

Oh, I forgot about the background. But it will most likely be white, or a bright color. My idea was that each volume cover would feature a very contrasting face on the characters in the story, you can see what I'm aiming at here: [link] (although the guy will be in color this time, with very dark contrasts)

It needs some sharp highlights to really make it pop off of the page.
The lettering is really nice, though. Well done.

Which Nightlce also noted, so I suppose two toghether can't be wrong. Thanks a lot, I will make the needed updates tomorrow, and ask you to do a quick review of the changes should you feel like it.

It's too flat; everything in this needs highlights. The text looks like the kind of text to be icy/metallic-ish. Thus, extensive highlights. Also, is there meant to be a difference in colour saturation between the left spiky-creature-border-thingy and the right one? (for lack of a better expression <3) The right one seems to have an overdose of magenta..

I don't know if you read the description, but the reason for that is is because I threw variations for you people to comment on, which you thought looked best and such, so for that reason I removed the lineart on the right one and slightly changed the color to better fit the color scheme of the text (I suppose it ain't that easy to see it though)
I wasn't planning of using this as it is, but rather just threw in what I thought was decent, and then let you people to share what you thought could make it better, but great, more highlights! How do you think of the borders? Should they, as the right one suggests, be similar in color of the text, or be a contrast like the one to the left? And heck, is the color even good to begin with? I can easily change that too.
Thanks for your input! Greatly appreciated!

In my opinion, the contrasting border seems like the way to go - the left one doesn't quite seem to fit. And yeah, I think the colour's fine. It's a great logo ^_^ Np.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, and I think it looks a bit better without the lineart as well.. Too bad I wasted some 3-4 hours doing it though...
