So I have been slowly building a freelance graphic design business. It has started out slow, but I have been getting more and more work. Last week I finished a logo design for Bedrock Games for a new title they have coming out next year. I will be designing the cover as well as doing the layout, but the logo, for anything, is the most important thing you need to design. It helps set the tone of whatever you are doing, regardless if it is a roleplaying game or a business.

Usually, when I design a logo, I do a number of rough sketches. For this one, I sort of new what I wanted to do after talking with Brendan of Bedrock Games we were on the same page. So I sat down at the computer and came up with a font that fit the tone. I also needed a background that worked. The fonts and title portion I did in Illustrator and exported it to Photoshop, where I placed it on top of the background I built from scratch. The result? I knocked it out of the part with Brendan. Take a look:

The interior of this book is a little ways off, but I know where I am going to go with it. I plan on making some roughs over the next few weeks.
