Call of Swashthulhu

Description

This is my entry for the S7S Logo Remix contest for the Swashbucklers of the Seven Skies RPG. Honestly, this was oodles of fun to do!

The first time I looked at the logo silhouette, I thought TENTACLES! and went the obvious place from there. Tried to give it some of the same elements as the CoC 6th Ed. cover, though I deliberately "mixed it up" a little bit.

Sadly, I couldn't find the cover fonts Chaosium utilizes and so made due with what I have in my personal collection. I think it turned out well.

I also used some names pulled from the S7S wiki for the names on the cover (I hope no one minds), scrounged around LJ a bit looking for Chad's actual middle initial, and took some liberties with a couple minor details.

For those of you who don't know what the heck this is about: it's a mash-up. I took the logo for a new RPG about swashbuckling adventurers, and mixed it up with an existing RPG based on horror writer HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos (Google it, kids).

Time: About, oh, 6 hours or so with Photoshop, Intuos Tablet.

Update: This entry took 3rd place in the contest! Woo!
