Logo Creation

I attempted several different ideas for a logo, including a sword type shape. I eventually came up with two drafts. I have chosen to go with a wording type logo with shadow manually drawn into it.
I added a gradient star between the two words to add some imagery to it, so it looks like a real logo.

Here is my chosen logo. It wasn't as fantastic as I expected it to be, but I am quite pleased with it.
Next I will be importing the logo onto a disc label to create the game disc.

My first logo, which I tried to draw a sword, I felt looked far too unprofessional and somewhat childish. I noticed I had set my goalposts too close and went back to the drawing board to draw up basic ideas on what I feel would be suitable. I looked at google images for inspiration on current logos for all sorts of companies including games and toys. I chose a text based logo as I preferred simplicity over a complicated, overly produced looking one.
