Wesnoth title logo.

The images are good, but I don't think it really fits. When you see it, you first of all see an undead, and then two sword, which can be human and elvish.
So it makes you think that there are three faction, and the undeads are over-represented.

Woodlize's new logo is better. But it still doesn't seem very professional. A shield or any weapon that would been added to it would be great, maybe to underline it.

I liked the idea to replace the t with a sword.

heres an idea:
make the words Battle for wesnoth larger, and put the units from the game (maybe shrunken down a bit) behind it, seperated by their factions.

Woodwizzle: Inkscape doesn't seem to be able to do much with your most recent .svg. I can't convert the text to a path; the "The Battle For" displays wrong, and basically all I can do is copy the whole text, scale the whole text, and change the colors.

I think the current logo is all right as the new ones as well.
What is the most painful is the menu-title background image.
That should be changed. Here I've seen many talented artist (who did the portraits, for example?), so it can't be as hard.

Well quite alot of us are pixel artists and it'd take like a month for us to do it. And we have 3 people who do our portraits, 1 seems to have gone, another i believe has work and the 3rd does user campaigns as well. Jetryl said he'd try but said it was more then he could handle....

All of the posts have been good. As of now, I'd say that Elvish Pillager posted the most professional looking logo. I would say to keep going in that direction. The stretched W in Woodwizzles later post was too much. Makes it cartoony.

Elvish Pillager has the right idea, IMO. Sweet work, guys! It's great you are able to mod text this way.

The idea is quite good. But in that case, take the best units, attacking, and all lvl3. I just don't know where to put them on the logo.

Yeah, I still wasn't happy with the W either. Here is hopefully my last go at it. I think it looks good and I can finally bring it into the gimp to flesh it out with some details!

And of course I forgot the SVG again. Dunno what was wrong with the last one EP, better luck with this one.

I like how that "W" looks. I think the words "the battle for" should also be in the font for "Wesnoth". Maybe it is already and I'm just not seeing it. Also, I think maybe the "W" shoudl be closer to the "e".

Good work though, add the effects and this is really getting somewhere.

The "The Battle For" still loads wrong, so I copied it from my browser and traced it with brightness threshold 0.55.

I think the "The Battle for" should remain in black, or at least in a plain color without gradients. This would also make the "Wesnoth" show up.

Ok I converted the text object to a path. Hopefully That'll fix the troubles you're having TP. I also moved the W closer and tweaked the new seriffs on it . They were stolen from the T but needed a little work to get better integrated with the W.
