If bethesda sets elder scrolls V in skyrim what do you think that
logo would look like?

A cloud with a silver lining.

A steel vault-like door with ice around the edges of the vault and icicles hanging from the top and two war axes crossed on the vault and written across all of it is the word SKYRIM written in an Icy, shimmering but badass looking font, and a V under that, on the vault as well

It'll be called The Elder Scrolls 5 and a 1/3, 1/4, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, extreme, 3rd strike for the 4th future, with a cherry on top, and theres a fist coming out of the 2, and the fist has a knuckle buster on it, and theres blood on the knuckle buster, and the blood is infected with AIDS, except this isnt the ordinary AIDS that kills you in 10 years, no this is the kind of AIDS that kills you instntly, and the knuckle buster belongs to Zangief, and the blood belongs to e-honda, but its Gyle's fist that is wearing the Knuckle duster, and its him who is the boss of the game, so you have to beat him because he has the cure to AIDS, but this isnt the normal kind of AIDS that kills you in 10 years, no, this is the kind AIDS that kills you instantly.... And thats where baby robot dinsuars come from.



"Thousands of years ago, before Sigorney Weaver...."

That post reminded me of http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1761896. Skyrim's logo will be something like that. :rolleyes:

I see...the surface of a frozen glacier, ice so blue, it looks like the reflection of the sky in a frozen landscape all it's own. Powdered snow is sprinkled on it's surface, the type of snow that is so cold, only the most frigid and barren of air can freeze.
Underneath this seemingly indestructible sheet of ice, is a faint glint of black shale, like volcanic rock shining through layers of blue glass.
Instantly, a bolt of blue/white lightning impacts the frozen tundra, carving like a beam of fiery evil shot out of the Jaws of Oblivion itself, almost revealing what was buried underneath. The impact is so forceful, not even the most solid shield could withstand it's blast...but no.
No, this frozen tundra withstands. As the lightning dissipates, and the solid ice is visible again, the glowing volcanic rock that was once seemingly so distant is now brought to the surface. Daedric letters shine through, glowing like the fiery sun, with a cold blue aura rising off of it like steam rising off of a blacksmiths anvil.
The letters are vibrating, almost trying to escape, and with out a moments notice, in a frozen shrill so high pitched, it would rupture eardrums, they cry out:


V: Skyrim

I happen to be a fan of Bethesda's incredibly minimalist covers. You don't see many developers out there anymore with the cojones to not make a flashy cover. So just a "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" will be good enough for me.

That seems a little fancier than we can expect considering the simple covers Bethesda has usually gone with in recent games, I think we can expect something similar to what we got with Morrowind and Oblivion and their expansions, some sort of symbol, possibly one representing Skyrim, over a simple background, maybe the background would be some sort of light color, possibly white or pale blue, to invoke a cold, frozen feeling, and the words "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" (assuming they call it by what seems to be the logical choice of name.) will be written above it.

I am as well. I think they're quite tasteful and classy.


I like the sound of that.

The final fantasy games covers are practically blank. Just a "Final Fantasy XXX" and a small logo for the game.

It's great that someone started this thread, because I have http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c133/DepravedAngel_/SkyrimLogo.jpg of Bethesda's new big game. It does look like what they usually go for as far as logo's are concerned (minimalistic, straight to the point and capturing the essence and feel of the game)

I didn't say they were the only developers who do it, of course, I was just saying that compared to the majority of game covers out there, Bethesda's games are very minimalistic, and I like that.

:laugh:

Theres plenty of games that are just the Name and a Icon. e.g. Diablo. Anyway enough about that. I have no idea what the box will look like.

Why exactly are you arguing with me? I said I like Bethesda's minimalistic cover's. I am correct when I say that the majority of game covers out there are much less minimalistic than Morrowind's and Oblivion's covers. And I applaud them for not doing what most other developers do. Did I say that every game cover out there that is just as minimalistic suddenly doesn't exist or is inferior? No. What exactly is it you find so offensive about that? I'm not trashing your favorite games or anything by complementing Bethesda.

a big logo saying skyrim

Yeah, I love that too >.<. They look so good...

I reckon the covers will be simple, like Morrowind and Oblivion (you know how they do that papery background? then with writing on it?), except that the papery background would be light blue, with black or brown writing on top, with the same letter styling as Morrowind or Oblivion saying; The Elder Scrolls V:

SKYRIM

I don't know what the logo would look like :S

Perhaps an Axe lol Depends on the storyline. Oblivion had Oblivion gate looking logo's, Morrowind had the Tribunal logo....

I cant believe we've stooped so low as to debate what the box art will look like. We are in dire need of some real info.

SKYRIM spelled out by the bodies of several nekkid, posing Nords.

Or,

White letters in a typical Elder-Scrolls-ish font against a blue background

There will be pink ponies and unicorns, on a baby blue background, with fairies dotted around with a big rainbow in the middle, and the text saying "Love". It will say TESV Skierim (I know it's wong) in the bottom right. The "Rated 18" badge would be on the bottom left of the case.

If they don't do that they're stupid :rolleyes:



Well.. that OR a simple brown/blue/white designed paper with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The Title may have some kind of frozen effect on it, though. (Small Icicles, slightly frosty - nothing overboard)

But really... I like my first suggestion. :mohawk:

The cover of the game will probably resemble a book, like Oblivion and Morrowind, but that's not for certain.

I expect it to be fairly minimalist like with Morrowind and Oblivion's covers, but I highly doubt it'll be particularly cold or in pursuit of that "icy" motif. If Bethesda is already just as bored and frustrated to death as I am by the whole, "waaah Skyrim will just be snow I hate the cold!" entourage we have going on here on the forums, then I think it will go for a more natural look.

Instead of Morrowind's more rustic guidelines that gave it a "frontier" feeling or Oblivion's horrendously imposing and over-dramatic molten lettering, I think the Skyrim wording would be a bit more natural-looking. I imagine a nice Celtic/Scandinavian looking font, nothing too fancy or stylized, but it would be fairly vertical and diligent looking. It would have the air of nature or some sort of supernatural, spiritual Pagan energies about it, perhaps appearing organic and asymmetrical like a plant or radiating some sort of nifty aurora borealis around its edges. A stray icicle or two could be seem forming on its bottom edge and a light, glimmering spray of snow would sit atop it.

The borders of the box would be a more inorganic Norse motif, embossed metal or a stone trim of some sort. I imagine animalistic symbols stacked on top of one another (like in a totem pole hierarchy) to the top right and bottom left of the main text.

Of course, this is all assuming that we will be seeing Skyrim in an Elder Scrolls installment some time soon.

This sounds ridiculously tasteful and pleasing to the eye. Your're fired.

The font will be pretty much the same as Oblivion: an imposing serif font. "The Elder Scrolls V:" will be in small letters above "SKYRIM", For Skyrim, it'll be fractured, and with a slight blue tint to it, rather than the dark volcanic stone of Oblivion. Below "SKYRIM" will be an Aldmeri Auri-El symbol and the Nordic symbol of Shor opposing it. The borders are a clockwise passage of Nordic or possibly even Atmoran writing spelling out either a Nordic philosophy of the world/life, or otherwise illuminating the historical Nordic hatred of Elves.

In game, however, SKYRIM will be translucent, and sit against the evening sky (near sunset). While to the left you can see massive mountains with flying creatures of ill aspect, the foreground will be wheat fields and such, with docile wildlife. Then you'll progress through your little intro movie, and wind up high atop one of the peaks, with the translucent blue SKYRIM logo (fractured ice) against a blizzard.

In short, the out of game version will be very stark and austere, relying on that to make the unaware say "hey! That's different. What is it?", and the in-game version will present the contrasting nature of the province.

There. Just my opinion.

This sounds perfect. ^_^

Also: that description alone makes me want to break out my epic, pagan, viking metal. :laugh:
