Avast! Logo

Did we do any work on a logo for Avast! I think I remember putting something up and getting feedback. If you can find it and put it up I would appreciate it. I'm trying to put together a sales sheet for the game and it would be nice to have a good logo. Also, could we get together on Monday or Tuesday to take some pictures of the game as well. Thanks man.

This is the art I want to use for Avast! This guy is awesome. You should check out his stuff.

Thanks for the upgrade

Thank you Jesse for putting in all this work on the blog. It looks great.

The newest evolution of Avast!


I will now start building cards to have at GenCon. If something needs changed, say something now.
The faint lines you see will not be present when printed. The cards are completely open. There are no boxes or outlines. This seemed less crowded to me.
Feel free to comment. I could use the feedback.

Almost final


On the right side are 2 variations of the final card layout with the cache symbol in different positions. I think I prefer the top right layout and will probably go with that unless someone has other thoughts. General comments are also allowed.

Airship cards last test


I think this is the format I will use for the next run of the game. Does anyone see a problem, before I go and make 200 cards that look like this.

Airship Pirate card Expenation

Airship Pirate card

Art Concept: Tension and Terror

Photographs in a sort of B-Movie "horror noir" style would be interesting. Sort of an homage to old movies like "Night of the Living Dead". Post production time for this would be minimal as I've just created a photoshop action for this look. Notice the rough edges around the photos and the use of heavy shadows to create contrast and frame the subjects.

Three sample images below.

Item: Film Camera
