Twice ze Flavour - Logo design
The title says it all really.
Seeing as the logo for New 'n' Tasty was first designed by a fan before being taken up and finalised by JAW/OWI I was wondering what the OWF members could do for Abe's Exoddus remake. Who knows, with a bit of luck the guys at JAW/OWI will see something they like here :) My suggestion would thus be to make a logo in the same style as the NnT logo, or at least make sure the customers are be able to recognise it's the sequel only based on the logo. For the name itself I think "Twice ze Flavour" (TzF) is a popular choice. For reference here's a link to the NnT logo: http://oddworldlibrary.net/archives/...ANT0004-me.png I'd kick this off myself but I have no design skills whatsoever ;) |
I suggest looking at some alcohol brand logos to find inspiration.

Let's make it a good logo so Lorne will take it and destroy it
|
If we were aiming to make the new logo as recognisably the same series as the NnT one, you'd need to stick to the same basic arrangement. Change the title(s), put them on a ribbon, change the Glukkon head to a Mudokon skull, and swap out the saw for a bottlecap.
With a bit more freedom, I think a bottle of Brew in a bucket of bones (the way champagne is left in ice) surrounded by a ribbon would be pretty cool. |
I think I'll have a go at that. See what I can come up with in my spare time.
|
Do you guys know something we don't?
|
I'll give this a try. something relating to SoulStorm is a must.

Hope you all like shitty MSPaint mock-ups

The relative sizes of things Colour schemes Also, I think it's very important that the bottlecap is bent, like it's just come off the bottle. Just saying. |
The bottom two look the best to me. Good work.
|
Interesting saying Blackletter. "Twice Ze Flavour" inspires much more of a florid and loopy script to me. More of a Copperplate, but with fatter, broader strokes.
|
That's fair enough - the Brewmaster is a meticulous Frenchman, so a meticulously French typeface would be appropriate.
However, SoulStorm Brew is also a rough 'n' ready intoxicant, intended to be consumed in excessive quantities, so to me that screams "Oktoberfest!" Of course, the entire thing is basically a parody of Coca-Cola's extortion of the developing world, so JAW will probably go for a similar blocky squiggle. |
Something I whipped up in on MS PowerPoint in 3 minutes before work.
|
And here is the finished product! Let me know what you think. I may have erased too much on the edge of one of the bubbles, but over all im satisfied.
|
You got it all wrong. The colours make too much sense, and the glukkon head doesn't have holes and drawing mistakes. You're totally missing Lorne's touch.

The Brewmaster's neck is too short.
|
MM totally sees it
|
Now we're gettin' somewhere.
|
I was sure this thread was going to be entertaining :D
I quite like the idea of those, but I think the bottle cap should be bigger, kind of the same size as the saw in the NnT logo. :
|
Or if they made the game really really really difficult, it could be called "Extra Tears Edition?" See what I did there :D
|
Here's what I came up with. Nothing special. Just the SoulStorm logo. Making this made me realize how awful I am at photoshop, and I need a better version. (elements is rubbish).
I'll make more. http://i.imgur.com/at4HdY9.png I really love Meech's ideas so far. That banner works well. |
I really like the idea of the champagne bottle style one, but it doesn't quite work and it makes me sad, because I'm so sold on the idea.
I'm also deeply amused with the long neck. |
What the hell, CP? Are you trying to offend glukkons with that short neck?
|
Yes I am! Glukkons need to realize that they have short necks.
|

|
The fact that it covers NnT logo makes MM's logo even better
|
Fine then, to me the skull should be smaller.
|
Probably.
|
Nen 'n' Tasty was bad enough but please god don't call the AE remake "Twice ze Flavour".
|
What's wrong with New 'N' Tasty? I think it's a perfect name.
|
Because heaven forbid it doesn't take itself too seriously.
