GR#141 - Journey to Hammerdale - Zelda like Game

[slym]

Put more space between the "to" and "hammerdale". Right now it reads "Journey Tohammprdale". You also really need to give priority to the words. It's not often that you see a logo with all of the same font size. I would either make Journey larger and shrink "To Hammerdale", or make Journey much smaller and "To Hammderdale" larger. Preferably the second one because if the "To Hammerdale" is any smaller it may become impossible to read.

I dislike the belt animation.  It implies a pelvic thrust in the walk which is just weird.

It's not a pelvic thrust.  At least it doesn't look like that to me anyway.  To me it looks like it's being used to accentuate the hip twisting as she walks.  The idea is sound but perhaps the execution isn't quite right.

[tehwexxl0rz]

There are two big problems with the belt 1) it's twisting in the direction of the torso when it should be twisting in the direction of the hips if anything 2) the torso doesn't rotate nearly enough to warrant such an extreme counter-rotation. Even if it did, the waistline is the articulation point, so it should be facing forward.

So, which variant is better?

[jok]

there are two weak points in light between letters - ey (in journey) and r in hammerdale)
general shape looks nice but is hard to read - more space between words should help a little imho

Don't animate her boobs. For one, female players dislike it. Plus it doesn't really look right at this sprite size. Just my advise though!

As a female gamer, I would like to refute this. I have nothing against boobie jiggle. I do have to agree that it does look strange at this sprite size, but I think the real problem is that they are swaying side to side or something. You don't want that. It's unnattractive. It makes her look like she has flabby granny boobs. If they're going to bounce, they should be bouncing up and down. The other thing is that she doesn't seem to be moving very fast. She's just walking. You have to get to a nice bouncy jog before you start to get boobie jiggle on the level that would even show on this sprite.

Anyway, other than that, it all looks great. I like #2 for your logo. I like that long tail on the H. You could decrease the size of "to" if you wanted to. That would help separate it from "Hammerdale."
