Official Mercenaries Title screen!

[LastingDawn]

Well, Melonhead released an Amazing new addition to Shishi today, that I cannot help but share! Do you recall those old, slightly glitchy pictures, with the all blue Gafgarion and Agrias, and the... oy, complete screwups afterwards, so here we are!






The original, to show what it looks like clean

As it stands the original FFT logo does not look so great on this background, nor did I just want to slap on "Mercenaries" in a poor font under it.

Thankfully we have Voldemort helping us in this venture, I am certain that he will be a terrific job with it!

Holy crap, that's gorgeous! Hopefully a nice logo will come about from all of this.

I love this btw. But you are probably going to ahve to change Agrias to Ramza haha.

[LastingDawn]

Well Agrias vs. Gafgarion is an ongoing theme throughout the story of Mercenaries. She is the head of the supporting cast as it stands, also it's meant to be rather symbolic, light against dark, leader against leader, the Holy Knight and her antithesis, also it's what the picture contains, hehe... ideally, I would like one of those "shadows" like they've done in ever FF since 4, that shows a silhouette of Ramza, Rad, and Gafgarion, over the logo, but I'll see what Voldemort manage to cook up before I presuppose.

Are you guys going to utilize the Final Fantasy font?

[LastingDawn]

Hmm, I will have to point Voldemort to this, thanks.

Here's my submissions:

No Scroll overlay:



25% Overlay:



33% Overlay:

[Vanya]

I like that, Arch.
Try moving the logo a few pixels to the right so it isn't up against the edge so much.
Also, it might look good with a less refined font for the 'Mercenaries' part.

fux

I think I merged layers on the "FFT" logo that I cropped

not sure how to move it now

[SilvasRuin]

I think I favor the 25% overlay.

[Archael]

Vanya's suggestions, improved font, moved site address to the left to match game menu

[Archael]

Transparent letter filling:

[SilvasRuin]

I like the improvement it made.  There aren't any other immediately obvious ways to improve upon it at this point.  Very nice.

looks sexy

Looks pretty good--I think you should use a simple font for the FFHacktics part though. Like Verdana (or some equivalent), bold, size 10. Ideally, if you could use the same font that the copyright is written in, that'd look gorgeous. This'll even help make the Mercenaries logo look more unique.

[Archael]

if anyone can get that font for me, I'll use it for the www.ffhacktics.com part

[mav]

Hmm, I know melonhead was able to get the dialog font, but I don't know if anyone has gotten that font...I'll look around for it.

Try placing the square copyright to the bottom left of the screen, and the website link to the bottom right.

Try placing the square copyright to the bottom left of the screen, and the website link to the bottom right.

the 1997/1998 square part is displayed by the game itself

I can't move it...

I didn't do it

you can't prove it

[Shade]

I think you can you just need to know how to edit it.
