I’m a non-graphics guy who runs a player-finder website for tabletop gamers. I’m not happy with the site’s current logo but don’t know what to do about it.
The current logo at the top of the front page has a lot of elements in the logo to show we are inclusive to the various types of tabletop games. Unfortunately many of these groups tend to be isolated from each other. So I wanted to make sure these groups know they are supported by my site.
With logo redesign in mind, should I try to stay inclusive and keep similar elements in the logo? Should I have fewer elements?
If you want to look at the site for reference, it’s at https://www.findgamers.us
Answer
If that’s a logo, it’s far too complex and detailed for being remembered.
I am suggesting a combination of two well-known elements. If you’re googling for the term “find” and look at the images result, you’ll find that it’s commonly represented by a magnifier glass. Doing the same for the word “game”, the results are influenced much by electronical / PC games. But you’ll also find dice, so it’s close to what you have chosen already.
So, a concept draft for a logo (extra ugly here to not direct you too much) could be this:
Now, you choose how exactly the “finish” looks like. It could remain a plain black&white logo, which is ideal for printing on flyers. You could make it colourful to indicate joy. You could render it in 3D, … – basically the rest is your decision.
You may try to replace “game” by “gamer”, but don’t get it confused with people search.
