Hello, I will show you the process I followed to create my entries for Ragnarok Logo Contest.
First I selected some fonts that I counsidered could represent the Ragnarok identity:
Then I filtered and kept only those I considered more epic:
After that I made color testing to check what could work:
I focused on primary colors, specially red and blue, since those are easy to remember and usually have more impact in the viewer.
Then I isolated my favorite color combinations:
Blue and gray over white background:
Blue and gray over dark background:
For the red version I opted for a gold outline:
Red and gold over dark background:
I also decided to make some 3D versions of the logos, so I imported the SVG files to Blender 3D:
Then I made some testing to add volume to the word:
Material for font:
Material for border, a bit different:
Scene layout:
Big white squares are light sources.
Final 3D renders
As you can see, I created 4 logo proposals, all in 2D and 3D versions. Let me know which one is your favorite!
If you want a more detailed guide on how to make a 2D logo into 3D using blender, please let me know in the comments.
Thanks so much for reading!
