Then, I added the silver tint to mimic the steel of the Knight&#8217;s armour and sword. A staple of the stereotypical image of a knight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"276\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-29.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-588\" style=\"width:420px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-29.png 512w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-29-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"244\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-30-1024x244.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-30-1024x244.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-30-300x72.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-30-768x183.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-30-850x203.png 850w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-30.png 1036w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, I stumbled upon this font on a <a href=\"https:\/\/cooltext.com\/\">font generating website<\/a> by the name of &#8216;CONAN&#8217;. It had the regal aesthetic of a Knight of the King&#8217;s guard, yet the rough war-torn look of a seasoned veteran of battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Lastly, I decided to put an icon within the logo to further portray the themes  of the player character. Adding in a sword to replace the &#8216;i&#8217; and a crown to replace the dot on top of the &#8216;i&#8217;. Ultimately, I decided upon the logo with the sword as I felt it captured the player character even further and looked better overall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-31.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-31.png 785w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-31-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/et4g23\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27\/2024\/12\/image-31-768x479.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A logo isn&#8217;t necessarily the most important part of game design, however, it is one of the first impressions people have of a game.
