Interesting to see that a lot of you like the sword logo. I liked both of them (I pretty much like everything that Ben does).

I think I’ll put up all the logo ideas he came up with and ask you to vote on them to see which you would have chosen.

like the card hunter writing on top logo but think having the sword point down threw it instead of dragon would be better after all were going to be the characters not the monsters……right? (secretrly chuckles at thought of playing a goblin…er i mean dragon)

Great Article!

I love the arrow card, too bad you had to change it, I hope the art gets used in the actual game somehow.

Also, The Sword Logo is neat, I’d like to see other variants you had! maybe you could work the sword into the current logo if other’s think is cool too.

I’m both a game designer wannabe and an artist so I’d like to see more of the art of these cards, maybe the artist’s process for coming up with those cool final desings after you guys create the card’s description.

Keep up the good work! (and keep us posted 😉 )

I must add myself to the list of the people who like the discarded logo more than the actual one. But they are both good.

I’m gonna put in a vote for the current logo. I like that it features a creature instead of a weapon, and having the word with fewer letters written in cards strikes me as less cheesy.

What you are doing and proposing sounds great!
Please don’t listen to criticisim from people who have not played the game!

I have to say I like the discarded logo better.

Great stuff, I’m a big fan of iterative development and “waiting until the end to make it look good” myself.

I thought I’d weigh in and say that I too prefer the original logo – it’s a more bold, striking, and memorable style IMHO.

Great article. I like your attitude of not getting too attached to drafts.

I like your current logo. The discarded one looks too much like Conan the Barbarian.
