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:

Agreed. Although as they stand now I think 5 is the best but 2 could be better if modified.

Hmm, weird. Imgur saturates images when uploaded.

I really wish the game could bring the feeling of that cover art (the overgrown, desolate cityscape) to life.

I like the third take, it takes after the original cover art for the game and unifies it. I went to see the bigger versions in the forums and InXile should do a bit more with the space within the lettering rather than just cropping the title off the cover, like move the background a bit, to showcase the general ruin of the landscape while preserving the radiation green glow.

1st and 3rd look like generic Cawadoody logos to me. I'd much rather have any of the other 3 which are more in tone with the original logo.

None of the logo are good.
1 is popamole.
2 is childish, looks like something for a toy (i would never wear a t shirt with that)
3 is very bland and boring
4 i find it awful, the color, the typo everything
5 is more of my liking, would be great on a tshirt. Don' like the 2 lines though but the biggest issue is it comes from w1 original art (which is awesome) and not something specific of W2.
This fixed 5 is very nice indeed but same problem (more W1 than W2).
Maybe same thing but with green background (like 3).
They should propose new logos, cost almost no money and only take little time i think and 3 is winning by default more than anything else i guess.

Wow, those are pretty amateur looking. Even I could slap together one.

They are all very lazy, especially #1; it looks like the logo of every zombie game ever made.

#5 is cool but from the old game, so #3 it is.

Wasteland 2 logo version 1 - inXile's first take
Nice as a stand-alone or on a T-shirt but seems a bit "gamey" (the crack seems to make it look like it's jumping around). Feels too clean, rounded and cutesy.


Wasteland 2 logo version 2 - inXile's second take
This is better than #1. Rust colours seem to fit better but it's still a bit too polished for my liking. Roughen it up, make that badge look more like a proper rusted badge.


Wasteland 2 logo version 3 - inXile's third take
Fits the heading of the image but as a stand-alone graphic, doesn't really work for me. This would be great on the box art with the image beneath it but I don't see it working in any other scenario... unless it's accompanied with the image that should be beneath it.


Wasteland 2 logo version 4 - submitted by Francisco Manuel Ferreiro
Honestly, this version of the wording has better colouring than #2. This with the crack in it and a decent badge would be my pick.


Wasteland 2 logo version 5 - submitted by Evan Meichtry
Ugh. You people are voting for this shit?

What they're really missing is a logo that's "gritty enough". Like, realistically gritty. Everything they have so far is too clean, not enough dirt, too legible. It should look old, rusted, fucked up. Like it's been in the dirt a few years. Real rust.

This whole image should be the box cover!! It directly connects to the original folio cover and gives off that true "wasteland" vibe.

On it's own it just doesn't work and needs the rest of the image.
