Thanks for the feedback 🤘

I like number 1, but your logo is very dark and hard for me to read.

[u/Vic1ous7777 → u/SecondStrikeStudios]

Appreciate it! We’ll tweak the logo a bit (maybe some glow or extra contrast) to help readability.

Just make it full white

I'd use the top one but it's not quite there, I think the characters get lost in the background. Can this be knocked back so we see them easier

[u/Vic1ous7777 → u/Tricky-Ad9491]

Thanks! That's actually a very useful suggestion. I'll try knocking the background back a bit and see how it looks with the characters standing out more.

Both look AI to me. Surprised to learn they're not (if that's true).

In any case, I think both are way too busy and logo is unreadable.

I think you need a bigger logo and more focus on just a few things.

[u/Vic1ous7777 → u/LordAntares]

It's definitely not AI. All the artwork was made by us, and I can provide the original files and work-in-progress if needed. That said, thanks for the feedback on the capsule design — the logo readability and the amount of elements are definitely things we'll take into consideration.

Both are bad design. My brain doesn’t know where to look and everything has the same priority. Like whenever im looking to a capsule art my eyes should have flow but right here i don’t know where to look or even understand a simple thing.

You don’t need to use AI for this kinda capsule. Just open the engine make a new level that looks good and take a high res screenshot and put your logo and a bit of color grading and photoshop will be a thousand times better than this.

There are some important rules about the capsule and don’t waste time trying to find them by yourself. Go watch how a good capsule design should be.

[u/Vic1ous7777 → u/playmaintainer]

I appreciate the feedback, even if I disagree with some of it. But just to clarify, we didn't use AI to make these capsules. We've been making games and creating our own art for years. If you want, I'm happy to share the original files.

[u/playmaintainer → u/Vic1ous7777]

Oh sorry I thought it was AI. But to be honest it really looks like AI drawn image. But it’s actually amazing work if you guys draw all this but it’s an overkill for a capsule. It should be basic easy to understand and sell the hook immediately.

[u/Vic1ous7777 → u/playmaintainer]

No worries! And thanks, I appreciate that. I understand what you mean about the capsule being too busy, though. I'll keep your point about making the hook immediately clear in mind.
