Love the New Logo + Thoughts + Text Meaning?

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say I love the new logo Elysium now has. (See their twitter.) I really like the design, great work whoever made it! Also, it would be awesome to have it animated somewhere.

However, all the tribal and miniscule details do make it more difficult to display the logo somewhere if you want a really small / monochrome version. But oh well.

 

Also, the Runic text really looks like it has some kind of meaning. I get that feeling mostly due to one of the runes repeating (the sideways u). Anyone wanna try and see if we can crack the meaning behind the runes?! :D

I've been looking up Runic languages in WoW, but so far I haven't found an alphabet that fits the icons on the logo.

"Build your own legacy"

 

It's like a direct response to Blizzard's silence on legacy servers.

 

We'll make our own legacy server, with BLACKJACK! and HOOKERS! In fact, forget the hookers and the blackjack!

It could also refer to The Dragons of Nightmare portal.

If you watch the video to the end, the awesome logo was clearly inspired by the portal to the Emerald Dream!

Don't know whether the runes have a meaning.

 

These guys are professionals. If I had a gaming company I knew who to hire for a high price!

It's an ok mark.

 

It fits the overall legacy feel quite well but the typography is sloppy and I'm not really sure about the runes and what they add other than a bit of contrast. I doubt they actually mean anything either, it's probably just for aesthetic reasons.

 

It needs a bit more brightness to lift it up a bit (could just be the background it's on). It will be lost when it is scaled down and won't work particularly well on certain applications.

 

I'm not sure if this is just a logo for the fresh realm? Is it an overall style that will be implemented across all 3 realms or if a new website/forum is launched. It doesn't really follow the brand/style they've built up on their current website etc.

It is no doubt a great logo with a perfect brand story embedded in it. I talked to some creative logo designers and all of them appreciated and admired the logo, the colors, fonts everything fits perfect.

Lol for bumping a 15 month old thread...
