[NPA Elements] "King Me"! Checkers

(posted on Pixeljoint as well)

I'm creating a checkers inspired game, and I've now come to the stage of making the main screen. Here's what I've done so far. There are a few NPA elements in it.



The logo for the game needs to be done, and I'm having a hard time coming up with its' concept! Some elements that should be in it are a medieval-looking scroll (or something similar to that, if you have a better idea) and a medieval-looking crown.

Edit: a simplified version of the final logo will replace the current glowy text. The logo doesn't have to fit there on its' own, I can move things around or make it overlap the book if I need to.



I can't help but think that it lacks flow and dynamicism, but this is the furthest I've gotten to a decent logo.

Update:
I think I have something here. If this works out I'll make a fullscreen version.

Ouch. The AA kills it in that last one. You're just banding, not actually AAing. And you've got bad curves (Not hand drawn, I presume?). the curves on the scroll go like 3-2-1-2-1-1, when it should be 3-2-2-1-1-1.

Well, What I posted up there was just a concept - I just used that single-color outline as a placeholder. Thanks for the reply though

I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow, for two weeks... - I'm sorry, I posted this up with really bad timing - so I probably won't be able to work on this until I come back. It's obviously not done yet, so I will post an update as soon as possible!

And for now, the beginning of refining things.



edit@zero: yeah, the text under the logo is just a reference for when I pixel the text on to the banner. It'll be removed once the pixelled text is on the banner

The "M" in "King Me!" in that last pic is very hard to read.

No crits beyond that, I can even deal with the mirrored side panel things.
