Hello everyone
Last month I finally decided to go indie and open my company, Himeki Games
I now need a logo!
The focus of the company is on hardcore, premium games, ranging from old-school arcade games to first person 3D VR experiences. My first project is a danmaku shmup, inspired by Ikaruga and ProGear, I intend to work on different genres, so it's probably better to do something more general and not SHMUP-related.
I love japanese games and I’d like to communicate that with the logo. It doesn’t mean you have to use kanji, but it may be useful to keep in mind. I like Japan in general, the name of the company is supposed to sound Japanese, but it does not actually mean anything. It would be great to integrate the name of the company written in Hiragana (
http://japanese.reader.bz/himeki), but apart from that it's not a requirement to make it look japanese.
I don’t like logos with characters or word mark, I much prefer abstract figures and elegant designs.
I can provide some references, but in the meanwhile here’s a list of logos I like:
High moon studios
DICE
Unity3D
The chinese room
Visual studio (and in general the new Microsoft branding)
Regarding colours, I'd probably go with blue, black and/or white.
You can find more info about my first project on my website:
