Information Help InXile Pick Wasteland 2 Logo

Tags: InXile Entertainment; Wasteland 2

InXile Entertainment have set up a poll on Wasteland 2's official forums so you would help them pick the logo for the game from the five short-listed examples:

We've been posting versions of the Wasteland 2 logo and tweaking it based on feedback. On top of the great suggestions we've gotten, we also received some good submissions from the community, and we've selected a few that we think could work. These images - especially the fan-submitted ones - are still subject to minor tweaks and changes, but we wanted your opinion on which one you feel is best.

Keep in mind the logo could go on the T-shirts and its design should stand out for that. Colors will be changed depending on T-shirt color requirement

Voted for 5. 3 seems too boring.

 

[CWagner]

#1 is horrible, #3 is boring. Can't understand all the votes for #3. Voted for #2

 

[MaskedMan]

Number 1 obv if they could get some of those cool glass bullet holes on it.

 

[Infinitron]

All of them look kinda dull and uninspired.

My rule of thumb: try to imagine how it looks like against the background of Steam.

 

[Syl]

Can't understand all the votes for #3.

It's pretty obvious, it's the only one that uses the Wasteland 1 font.

 

[Jestai]

Number 1 obv if they could get some of those cool glass bullet holes on it.

I can (almost) live with the bullet holes as long as they change this hideous font...

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Depends on the tone of the game really.

If it's a bit wacky, then the first one would be a good fit wouldn't it?

 

[villain of the story]

InXile's first take looks particularly shit.

I liked #5 the best; the colours and the subtle crumbling are great sans the Desert Ranger logo and the lines.

Ironic that it has the original cover in it.

 

[MasPingon]

None of them look great, but if i had to choose it would be this one

Rest of them look campy. If that's the idea, I'm fine with it, but even so they are in bad taste. I mean bad bad taste

 

[Jack Dandy]

I like the 4th one the best, the one by Francisco. However it seems the 3rd one is the most popular and I really don't mind- it looks damn good as well

 

[Vault Dweller]

I like the second one (it's the most interesting one visually and the star looks great), but the gold is too much. It would work better if the star was made of brass and showed signs of aging, i.e. darker star, lighter font, not the other way around. Like this:

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah I like 2 the best. I feel it has the best "feeling" of Wasteland, with the Ranger Badge. The badge is too pronounced though, and needs to be toned down a bit.

That said: If the 3rd one could emulate the "destruction" feel of this better:

I really like this (the purple color needs to go though), but not as the official logo.

 

[villain of the story]

^The "2" at the end is overkill in that image, otherwise it's cool, I like it.

#5 Fixed:

A fusion of this and the image Jaesun posted would be awesome.

 

[Jaesun]

I still think 3 is better than that. I can't quite put my finger on why though....

 

[tindrli]

yep.. version 5 wins

 

[Kem0sabe]

Looks like it's amateur hour over at inxile, either they don't have the time, or they simply don't care much about the logo (i can understand both). But if you bother to design 5 shitty logo's you should have the time to design a good one.

Having to choose one, it would be number 4.

 

[BobtheTree]

The last two shitty logos are by fans.

 

[Jaesun]

I voted for #3 because I FUCKING LOVE THIS:

But I think #2 is more fitting, but I just don't like the look of it.

 

[Crooked Bee]

I dunno, I think #3 is kind of boring. They are all boring, in fact. Not that I care much.

I kinda like this one though.

 

[Jaesun]

I like that too, but I don't like the outer purple colors.

 

[tuluse]

I like that too, but I don't like the outer purple colors.

This. If it was all in the red/orange spectrum I would have voted for it.

 

[villain of the story]

What do you have against purple? It looks smashing.

 

[BobtheTree]

Yea, that wallpaper of the overgrown city would be awesome box art.

 

[Mangoose]

Who the fuck cares about a logo?
