Hello beautiful people how you all doing ? Hope you're all doing well! First of all thanks @Ragnarok.game for this opportunity! It's been long time since last time I got a logo brief and this was the right call to get back to it.I was a bit rusty but I could finally be able to pull it out! Had so much fun while doing that so I wanna share the process with you all!

First I started with raw sketches to turn the brief to primitive shapes.I took "Repetition - Myths - Conflict -Realms" I didn't want to dive fully into Norse mythology because of the title because that would narrow the design and I don't like to be stuck in single dimension.I did a shape research for Vegvisir(Nordic Compass) ,some shapes from easterm myths/culture and modern interpretation of the headlines.Sketched them out roughly in Photoshop without worrying.I thought horizontal vegvisir might be a good start and meanwhile auroboros and moon phases took my attention too.

After that I took my base to illustrator to see how flat vectors would work.My first choice as a font was "Rebel" .Horizontal Vegvisir was working but keeping it with Letters was an overkill it bothered me alot.So I decided to go with a framed and more grounded design.Meanwhile with a lighting struck I thought alignment of the stars might be a good idea too.So I started to mix moon phases,vegvisir and start alignment with some extra oriantalist spicee.I finally found the one that I like.I was like ok this one can represent the repetition but I wanted to put something about "conflict" I didn't need to go much further because auroboros was there and my name's meaning is the same too so i decided to put a personal touch to it.After 2 days of trials with colors and clean shapes I finally reached the flat result!! yayy!

Now it was time to Compositing, the fun part ! I took it to photoshop and start playing with layer effects.I wanted to reach some rusty bronze/gold and space influence on design.In this phases it's way more confusing to explain because I was going back and forth with layer effects (Bevel&Emboss,outer glow,inner glow)

After Finding the rusty gold it was time to make it rusty.In this process I used layer modes(color balance,hue&saturation,curves) and some texture I made in photoshop to make the reflections less static.

Background of the frame started to remind me some liquid/portal thing.So I wanted to mix it with some space depth.

I was a bit bothered with warmth colors.I wanted to add some contrast colors.After 1 day break and commissions I pushed myself to limits and reached the colors I wanted.Added some extra lens flare and purples in it I was like ok there are nothing left to push but I gave it one extra day to decide.Because even if Im super happy with the result I was second guessing. And guess what I got way more hyped on the other day!
