War of the Magi - Logo Design

Logo designs for a huge personal endeavor I’m undertaking for 2019 - War of the Magi. (Attached is a file showing some process)

War of the Magi is a world design project that’s a bit of a love letter to all of the fantasy games I’ve got lost in. Some of those worlds captured me for days, months… years. A few notable examples being The Elder Scrolls, EverQuest and World of Warcraft. They’re a big reason I got into anything art related at all. Since I was a kid, I’ve kept notebooks and sketchbooks of my own ideas and doodles, hoping to one day work on a game. The purpose of this project is two-fold. One, it will let me compile and organize all of my thoughts into one cohesive project, and most importantly it will help me grow in some areas I want to explore more - game design, writing, illustration, concept art, etc.

I have a rough outline of things I want to make and put together:
* Logo Design
* Website Design
* Game Box Design
* Game Manual
* UI Stuff including ability icon sheet
* Sigils and banners for the in-game classes and factions
* Concept art for characters, creatures and environments
* A few short stories as I explore writing
* Anything else I can think of to help flesh out the world and IP

I’m aiming to have a big post every week of new stuff so I can have quite a bit done by the end of the year. Would love to get feedback and thoughts from everyone.
