I don't quite know the tone of the comic, but right off it feels like a magic/fantasy story is what it's pitching. That could be good or bad depending on what you're going for, I just don't know what it is you're aiming for. I just get that because parts of the image look a little like they got enlarged too much. I think with just a little bit more it could have a really nice hand-painted, tight look to it. The only other thing I can think of that might be a problem is that it took me a minute to figure out that it was two C's in the center and not a T. That's probably just me, but if it confuses other people you could clear it up really quickly by just widening or closing the space between them. The feeling that it's coming out of the book is a nice touch too. Maybe play that up even a bit more and really give it a flowing sense by bringing out the effects across more of the text.

Overall, I like the shape and colour combo and I think it's a pretty good logo. It just needs a few small tweaks to bump it to the next level is all.

Hmm, I got the double C right away and it doesn't look like a T to me at all. So it's one for and one against on that one.

It does look fantasy/mystery/magical oriented.

Really nice, but the C thing confused me for a moment as well.

I think it looks good, Skullbie.

That's exactly what type of comic it is \^o^/

And lba thanks fr the tips, though I'm not quite sure what you mean by hand painted, i've widened the c's and centered it more.

Thanks also hippie and ryu :]

With the hand-painted thing, I just meant that right now you can definitely tell that it's cg which isn't bad, but I think a more traditional look might fit the genre even better. By just working the highlights and edges a little more you could get it to feel more traditionally painted feeling.

You can't just post a logo and say "what do you think". What are your aims? Your thought process? Your story's premise? Or do you just want us all to say, "oooh, shiny, it looks nice!"?

That said, it looks nice. The double-C thing is pretty clear, the colors pop (a third highlight color might help, esp. a distinctly lighter shade of violet - or maybe make the strokes slightly thicker). I might make the shinies a little toned down, slightly less and coordinated a little more. Consider adding natural wear in places.

Aurora got the comics genre down to a pinch tho ^^ If you want more that book and double C symbol are important elements to the story, and 'cross' in 'Relic Cross' gives a vague idea what's going to happen.

Thanks for the suggestions though i appreciate it :]

Yeah, it's still really, really vague. (Elements of the logo being important to the story? Who'da thunk?) Especially considering how many fantasy comics there are already. It's hard to give summaries, but I find it disquieting you can't say more when you've already gone and created a logo. I know it's a thorough challenge, taglines/synopses and all that, but still.

Anyway, I like it. I hope your comic matches up to it.

its pretty bland, Also rather tahn making the text pop and losening it up the pattern on the back traps it in there and draws it back. The box is in a completely different and clashing style so that doesnt really work that well. And all the sprinkles seem a bit random and make no sense composition wise their just kind of distracting. I like the main idea though and the colors. though it could use and additional color somewhere something brighter maybe like a magic dust like turqoi? I don't know, it just seems a bit boring and heavy to me.
if I was a teapot I think I'd be orange.

I like the image as applied to a fantasy comic, it's got a very grimoire feel to it. The box surrounding the text seems too large and makes the title look a bit lost, so you could make it smaller or fill it with more of those sparkly things.

very nice, though.

kinda necro-posting, but i saw this when you posted this.

and now i just get the title. and yea, you should make the two c's more prominent. I only saw one. so it was like "reli-cross" what does that mean?
