We have a simple blog post for today as we were playing all evening. I'll check the recording tomorrow to make sure it went well as it's my last opportunity to make any significant changes before we go live in 14 days!

Before that, let's talk about the Enemy Within logo I whipped up for the stream. You may have already spotted it in the bottom left of all the Countdown images I've posted so far.

Wanna looksee at that logo a bit bigger?

Here's the black-on-white version.

And here's the white-on-black version.

So, why did I build it like that?

In short, two reasons.

1) I wanted to reference the original The Enemy Within logo from WFRP1.

2) I wanted to build a silhouette of the Empire falling into ruins into the logo itself.

For reference, here's the logo from WFRP1.

I copied the general design using the same loose positioning, the Chaos star, and the letters disintegrating from left to right. I then added the Sigmarite hammer and Chaos Axe, as it felt like a better use of the space, and was also reminiscent of the Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (WAR) logo. It also has some symbolic meaning for the campaign that I may discuss in another post.

What WAR logo? This one:

I then added all the fun details for the Empire collapsing into ruin in the silhouette.

And, for the sharp-eyed, there are many details you may recognise in there.

What can you spot?

And, before I go, do you feel it's worth me doing this logo in colour? Or does the oldskool black and white version do the job?

Also, did I mention that it's just 14 days until we're live?

I like the white on black version. Visual punch. I think what you’re trying for works. Purple miasma glow across the top, big bold black and white doom below. Personally I don’t see need for a colour version but you may have some good ideas about that which I do not.
