At the beginning of Contre-Jour, we were trying to think about the logotype of the game. Finally, after some suggestions, I had the pleasure to be its artist.

The logotype

The logo had to demonstrate in a peek that:

  • Contre-Jour is a videgame
  • The game is about light and shadow
  • The scene takes place in the early 20 century at Paris

First sketch

That's with these ideas I drew this first rough. The logo is fanciful and represents a game title. The embellishment around the title is inspired by the 'Art nouveau' caracterizing the Paris architecture on 1900. Above, a lamp unveils the letters in the dark. Then, I directly worked on Photoshop in vector drawing to detail the idea.

Texture

I wanted the letters to be in wrought iron. After some tests, I found a technic to create this effect with the Photoshop filters directly.

Next, I drew the lanp and finished it by adding the halo.

Summary

At the beginning of the project, we had to create the logotype of the game. After finding some ideas I finally designed it myself.
