I was approached by Guy-kun of lowiro to create a logo for his upcoming rhythm game, Arcaea. Since I happen to be a big fan of rhythm games in general, I excitedly took the opportunity to work with him on this project.
What Guy was looking for with this logo, initially, was a serif logo with grungy/deteriorated effects on it in the same vein of some logos like Steins;Gate and Akashic Re:cords. After a few design iterations we eventually settled on a logo that had a mixture of design sensibilities of a serif and sans serif font. The final logo is a modified version of Matthew Welch's King's Gambit typefont. The lowiro team provided the final coloring and effects on the logo that appears in the game.
Additionally, I was asked to make the cover art for Akira Complex's track, Relentless, which appears in the game. Since I had previously designed Akira Complex's new logo, I decided to make 'Relentless' in the exact same style, utilizing some leftover character designs from that project. The background image was made from a visual project I have been working on in Resolume Arena.
