These look v. good imo

im going to echo this and would prefer the NSG > Shaft.ed in this case.

[Isis]

idk if i like the tie, it doesn't have much apparent symbolism to me

also i would really rather drop the tagline from the site altogether. "a mob has formed" is still pretty, well, problematic to me

You are still allowed to use the formation of a mob for an extrajudicial killing as your elimination flavor, though. Hell, in the normal queue I'm not sure if you're allowed not to.

I think it's ok to hold official things and things at the top of every page to a higher standard than things in individual games. One reason why I've been trying to avoid violent imagery and don't really like NSG's blood splatter despite liking her font more than shaft.ed's. The font difference could be a product of size.

Edit: Reck's slash is abstract enough to be fine though imo.

[xRECKONERx]

yeah -- i think "a mob has formed" immediately brings up a lynchmob, and it's the first thing people will see on the site. i'd def prefer it not in our logo

[Isis]

I guess it's fair to say "a mob has formed" is even more evocative of a lynchmob than the official position that you should describe your game as groups of "townies" voting to "eliminate" a player resulting in them being marked as dead.

I'm not sure it's fair to say that a blood splatter also is, although I share that preference.

Here's a take on mafia scum tigers logo thoguh that one might not even need replacng since it doesn't have any of the problems the others do.

Speaking as a sepia user, the sepia one is not a good logo.
Its background is the color of puke, there isn't a color difference or space to indicate where one word ends and the next begins, but the c and the u seem more solid than the s so that seems like where the word boundary is, which is not a good place to put a word boundary.

[shaft.ed]

I think the scale of textures is off in NSG's logo

the font has an ink on paper texture to it, but it is way too defined within the thickness of the font to be a typewriter which makes it look like a stamp or a large stenciled banner
the blood splatter matches this very large typeface as it is also detailed with fine droplets making it appear more like a banner than text in a letter or book

i think of all the stylize fonts, I like chamber's choice of an art deco font. It seems to call back to the right time period

mafurscum is great, the green will clash a lot with the orange

the background was meant to be transparent, I just put that in as a placeholder to get the blood shade 'right'.
I also don't have access to the text, so it's a low quality printscreen of web generated version for mocking up, I think the CU issue could be addressed either with the actual text files or some light airbrushing

I do get your point with regards to word spacing
I tried using the blood splatter as a way to separate it

Is it a free commercial license?

[shaft.ed]

I don't know anything about getting new fonts
my life only requires Arial/Helvetica
so if I don't see it on Adobe it doesn't exist to me

No

This font’s webfont license is:

Pay Once

You get a monthly pageview allowance for your webfonts. This license does not need to be renewed.

For example, if you order a license that covers 10,000 monthly pageviews, you will remain within your license as long as you do not get more than 10,000 views per month.

If the website starts getting more traffic, simply place a new order for the additional monthly pageviews you require, as Pay Once webfont pageviews are cumulative

[T-Bone]

i tried one, although i don't exactly my execution turned out all that great

I think this looks really good actually except if it was transparent, and therefore also didn't have those edges on the bloodstain.

shrug

This is a really cool concept.

[T-Bone]

This is what I was imagining

I think this can be improved even further cosmetically but I absolutely love this logo concept

I also really like this.

One of the things we were talking about is getting some imagery that can be used as a supplement to the MS name. A magnifying glass on a suit and tie I think would be cool.

[northsidegal]

tried my hand at the magnifying glass concept:

I really like NSG's, just without the 'a mob has formed' bit.

[chamber]

Her magnifying glass is much better (unsurprisingly). I'm not sure I'm a fan of the font, but I think I may have just become overly attached to art deco fonts. Probably need to look away from this for a while and come back with new eyes.

this seems to be much closer to the direction i'd want to see, just without the tagline and maybe a different font

[InflatablePie]

different/no tagline
different font - something typewriter-y? shaft's looked nice or the one in nsg's splatter logo (both similar). or something handwritten-looking perhaps?
decision on capitalization (mafiascum > Mafiascum >> MafiaScum imo)


otherwise I think the magnifying glass and the red/white color idea with the dot is very good

[Dunnstral]

I like full lowercase.
I like clean looking font
I like no tagline
I don't like the red dot on the i

[InflatablePie]

if we go with a cleaner font instead of typewriter/somethin fancy, nsg's choice there is really solid though

just depends on if it actually looks well in practice or just in theory

[Dunnstral]

We can see what it looks like
Nsg's script looks useful with the different board themes
