GameStone's Otomedius G (Gorgeous!) Logo

オトメディウスG(ゴージャス!)

Release 1 v0.1 - 12th June 2011

Otomedius G (Gorgeous!) Unofficial logo by GameStone.

I chose the 'G' position to be more in the middle because the word 'Gorgeous' has more characters than the Japanese Katakana version (9 vs 6), the 'G' was too hidden otherwise, plus it's closer to the tail of the letter 'M' making the layout more balanced.

I also chose not the have the halo effect at this time, this would be needed if it was going to be place on the title page like the title screen of the game.

GameStone's Otomedius X (Excellent!) Box Art

I'm disappointed with the logo used on the US release of the game and made my own version last year, I've now put together some box art of how it would look on the official release.

I also made some fake PS3 and PSP box art for the fun of it, note that the full size version are rather large.

GameStone's Otomedius X (Excellent!) Logo

オトメディウスX(エクセレント!)

I started designing these after Konami announced the US release of the game, mainly because the US official logo looks a bit rushed and boring, so here is my take on what the English should look like.

I've tried to make the logo in the same style of the Japanese original version shown below.

Now this should be the Official logo as I would say it looks great, very colourful and in the same style as the Japanese original.

Release 2 v0.7 - 7th June 2011

Otomedius Excellent Unofficial logo by GameStone.

Redone the logo from scratch including the 'Wing' and 'X'.

Made the word 'Excellent' 25% bigger, also added the missing star on the tail of the 'X'

Release 2 v0.6 - 4th October 2010

Otomedius Excellent Unofficial logo by GameStone.

Redone the logo from scratch including the 'Wing' and 'X'.

I still think the 'Excellent' looks a little to small compared to 'Otomedius', I think it should be big enough to almost tough the tail on the letter 'M'.

I updated the 'X' character as the first release looked more like an 'H', also redone the '!' (exclamation mark) as the star looked a little too small.

You will notice that the original Japanese logo has the top green colour only on the first character, so I decided to abandon this version and start from scratch as this was easier than editing this version.

I was inspired to make this font due to the Game Over screen in the Xbox 360 game Otomedius.

Here's the original the Game Over message from Otomedius and my version below it.

I'm not too sure on the pink background, but I tried lots of colours and that one just fits, reminds me of pink chocolate for some reason.
