Я заметил отличия только в завитушках, и на первом логотипе мне больше они нравятсяSmiley

ага, там отличия только у двух букв -  J и H )))
а на первом варианте тебя не смущает отсутствие завитушки на H?

Мне кажется, что завитушка на H слишком загружает картинку. Без нее читается легче

Finally i took up the correction of the logo. At first, I removed all unnecessary - the colors, strokes, bevels etc. And tried to start to increase the space between letters, the logo began to read:

These are a bit easier to read, but I think much of the improvement comes from just making it black text with no outlines on a white background. Of course, you probably are not going to want it to appear that way in the game itself, and I don't think you have solved the fundamental problem.

The words "journey to" are short enough and they are common enough that they don't really cause problems. The focus should be on making the "Hammerdale" read better, which may mean having that word in a different font. It is the only unique word in the title of the game. I can imagine that people will call the game Hammerdale for short, and it isn't a word you commonly run across, meaning your brain needs to spend more time figuring it out when you read it. You need to break up the monotonous letter forms to let the letters stand out a bit more.

I did a quick edit to hopefully help explain myself. I don't know what font you used, so I used Illustrator to auto trace the letters which is why they might look a little rough.



A couple notes- I made one M bigger to break up all those identical vertical strokes some and prevent the two Ms from running together. I created a new D and L because I think the ones you were using before weren't reading clearly at all. I also made the D slightly bigger than the rest of the letters to emphasize the start of a new syllable. RD is often pronounced together (as in HARD), so it helps to visually hint that in this case they are part of two different syllables. I also reduced the amount of flourishes on the letters, as in some cases it was making things extra tricky to read. I think even with the strokes and colors and such it remains pretty legible.

Hope this helps. The art for the game itself looks awesome, and I can't wait to see more! Super cool looking!

Awesome! You did a great job with the custom font. I would never have guessed it was hand done. I actually like it quite a bit. Also, the treasure map is really awesome looking too!

You forgot the lighter rectangle that goes under the one that makes the "o" in "Nintendo", to symbolize the two screens.  Sad
