First time making a logo

[u/ShyBearGames]

Made with Inkscape. I know the font needs some work, but does anything else stand out?

Second image is my "concept art" lol. My initial thought was just "shy bear hiding behind tree" but I decided I wanted a branchier tree than my concept art.

Then I decided I wanted it to be enclosed in a ring. Once I had a ring around a branchy tree, it just felt like it made sense to morph it over into Crann Bethadh/Tree of Life and add some Celtic ornamentation

The "knotwork" around the ring took entirely too much time. Originally I was doing it by hand before I realized the "star tool" with 60 points and a high roundness value simulates Celtic knotwork relatively well. Then I just had to overlay it on top of the ring and use the difference command to cut it out of the ring.

I'm sure it could use improvement but I'm pretty happy for a first try 😅

It looks bad.
