Tectonicus - Primary Logo

I recently developed proposed branding for Tectonicus a card-based auto-battler game created by Gameucatex.

In Tectonicus you take on the role of a leader of a civilisation and develop it while battling in a card-based format. The game features characters and creatures based on myths as well as important figures from history with the goal of educating players about history and mythology. Additionally the game covers a wide range of periods from the earliest civilisations to modern times and each player is guided by a deity from one of the myths and civilisations in the game.

Tectonicus - Primary Logo

I wanted to give the logo for Tectonicus a modern and clean look with a element of historic charm, as the game contains modern day civilisations. Additionally, in order to incorporate the game's Danish creators, I wanted to make it Norse-inspired.

To achieve this, I took the Latin meaning of Tectonicus, which denotes the changing structure of the Earth's crust and construction and implemented it into the letter T. I stacked the horizontal lines to represent the concept of change and building, while also resembling a Norse rune. To further emphasise the design, I enclosed the rune T within a diamond shape, which could be likened to a spear tip or modern dog tag.
