Game logo

I think the game logo is almost fantastic, but I think it could use some work. Obviously the logo is very important to be the best it can be, because people associate the game with it. These are also of course matters of taste, so I realise it's just my opinion, but at the moment there's a certain "cheapness" to the logo, caused by it's "instability".

Cue babble...

The first thing that is wrong(in my opinion) is the slantedness of the text. It gives an impression of unstableness. It kind of looks like it accidentally warped, instead of belonging that way. The logo is better now than the previous logo, but one thing that was better before was that the text was straight.

Another problem is the "streched" look of the letters. It also gives the impression of unstableness. It sort of works in the word "exile". Perhaps the lettering of "path"(and "of") should be shorter and more square to bring the logo to a more "settled" feeling

The text should either be well inside the background plate or in some other way feel more like it belongs with the background. Now it feels a bit like the text was slapped on top of the background. They don't form a perfect unison. Another cause for "unstableness"

Last but not least, while the background to the text is cool, I feel there's a little too much going on. The biggest impact should be the game's title, and my eyes should be drawn to it all the time. Right now my eyes go between the details of the backdrop and the title which makes it less impactful. I think it would be better if the details of the background were slightly unified and clarified to give center stage to the title text alongside with making it and the title fit together better

You need to stop looking at the logo and play the game. It looks fine, you think too much.

I must say I don't understand that sort of attitude...it's not like playing the game and looking at the logo are mutually exclusive.

A logo is one of the most important parts of a product, or company, and seems to be often underestimated for whatever reason. It should not be "fine", it should be great.

Do not mistake me for being rude, or nitpicky, it's quite the opposite. The logo will be everywhere where the game is.
i gotto agree about it feels a bit like the text was slapped on top of the background, and on strecthed a bit too much, and "exile" word itself overflowing onto the background looks like a entrust, because overflowing is just a bit much thus it feels like they couldn't fit it well when on design.

Btw there will be people like "Coaster_Man" who doesn't know a singular thing regarding graphic design but then again breaks into the topic and don't bring any useful thing to the table.
"This is too good for you, very powerful ! You want - You take"
What about turning the "of" into a part of the "I" in "Exile" and making "Path" bigger, like so.
