I will be using these original notes by ma boi CT as reference for the project analysis:
- Logo design preferences details:

Logo wise I have seen [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] work and love it so if he has the time would love to work with him on this
So I’m not against changing the name since I initially had a different name that was more original. It was originally “infinite dream battle” and had the suffix ex instead of remix. Here is the original version of the logo. Which I’m not against making more fancy tbh. This was just something my buddy threw together and I liked it

If we kept this maybe some kinda spacey or galaxy in the “dream battle” I like the bold silver in infinite
Some logos I love are

Maybe my favorite new game logo it’s just got so much going but manages to look clean and slick

Maybe like a storm or galaxy behind the font, I really like this ironically

OK so to start off, most importantly, is the Name:

With any project, or full game, the name of the Game/screenpack/product is always the starting point in my experience.
And when it is for original, paid work especially, it is even MORE important because it is an opportunity for the Patreon to express his individuality, and taste, and have something special and unique to him that is ONLY for him and not a copy and paste of something everyone or anyone else has.
And considering you are about to invest, and have already invested in the past in original content, it would be a waste to not do this the right way and get the most out of it to come up with something really unique to you and your SP.
Now looking at your existing SP, and at your other variant logo, I see that
- at the moment its called MULTIVERSE vs Capcom.
- Secondly, I see the recurring theme in the sample logos you showed, is INFINITE, and DREAM BATTLE, and REMIX/EX
All of this is obviously to emphasize the fact that the game is a battle royale omniverse/multiverse type game with a premium or EX/REMIX type element to it, to emphasize it is a superior, or remake/deluxe edition release game.
Now since there are already so many other projects with the same/similar names,
and also Multiverse has been almost done to death in screen pack names in recent years.
So from this, my take away is that our final name must incorporate an enphasis on the "Ultimate infinite possibility Battle Royale Multiverse EX" element, so a name befitting to this that is also totally original and badass is the goal here
Now as for the design preferences for your logo, I see a few recurring themes here which give me a pretty good idea of what you're into.
All of the show logos, have a few very specific features/style themes"
- Sharp/Abstract/Bold Sci-FI edge themed Font style (right up our alley actually lol)
- Vibrant colors with 2/3 tone gradients
- Embossed/raised 2.5D Text effect look
- Metallic/reflective surface styles and letter textures
- HD Soft lighting/glow edges/effects on lettering
- 4/5 Layer vectors incl backer plate-type vector shapes/symbols incorporated with logo (IE Blazblue/Fighting EX-Layer)
- Separated Outer stroke layers on text with extra embedded effects for extra detail
- "Galaxy theme" implementation
All of the above which are totally fine
And most importantly of the above mentioned, which I see you have mentioned twice, so it means it must be an important theme/style preference to you, is the use of the Galaxy theme in the first logo, and again mentioning of the Galaxy theme in the last MFG logo.
This is good as it gives me a good direction and idea on how to do this to bring it all together.
And also one other thing to keep in mind together with all this, which is you existing lifebar/SP design with its theme.
I see that there is an emphasis on Hexagons and Green and purple in the theme.
And yo have mentioned I saw, adding in Orange somewhere in the mix as those colors to Gel well if you break them up with a neutral color like Metallic grey etc. So the Logo should also represent the current theme also. Meaning that Not using Purple and Green In the Logo Would be counter productive in my humble opinion, or atleast incorporating the Hexagon theme somehow aswell.
Because depending on what you guys do with the screenpack screen transitions from Select to Main menu and so on, you really want to have a logo that BLENDS with the overall aesthetic.
So to re summarize we are looking for a logo that will have:
- The above mentioned style attributes (IE EX-layer metalic/sharp/bold/Background vectors etc etc)
- Inclusion/representation of the existing theme colors (green/purple/Metallic plus potential Orange for accenting)
- A galaxy aesthetic incorporated as either the BG gfx or text effect overlay etc
- Hexagon pattern aesthetic also incorporated
- A name representative of both the style theme above detailed, and everything else discussed
SO with that all said I have some Ideas.
The way I would do it, is have the LARGE text as the main logo, and a footer in small text as a part of the logo similar to the BLAZBLUE system.
EG: BLAZBLUE (big text) Chronophantasma (small text).
- HEXAVERSE-EX
Infinity Dream Tournament
- SKY KINGS EX

Also I speak and write Japanese/Chinese so I have Japanese Arcadish Name Ideas aswell if they tickle you:
TENKAI-OH EX
Galaxy Dream Battle
(TENKAI OH This means 天界王- Like hard to put in english but it means similar to king of fighters except more like the universal god of the higher plane of earth lol like a god of fighting, like your space/galaxy theme)
SEIUN NO KEN-EX
Astral Dream Battle
(SEIUN NO KEN 星雲の拳 Means Fist Of Nebula or Galaxy Fist lol)
I have thousands more but is any / any combination of these tickle your fancy let me know, or if you would rather stick to one of your original generic names, ALSO let me know lol!
Either waym, atleaast I've shown you the candy store first so you know the possibilities and other options before committing.
I like to take things to the extreme in whatever I make withing the upeer limits of the patreons preferences so I make sure to Shatter all expectations lol.
Anyway once I know this part, and if all te other stuff sounds correct, we can finalise pricing
