THEM Splash Screen

Looking back on the original splash screen that I had created for THEM, I wasn’t really happy with it. It just didn’t seem to fit the overall design of the game and didn’t mesh well with the style that I had created. THEM’s visual style is a cut-out type of look, and the original splash screen didn’t reflect this. The original splash screen was also in stereoscopic 3d, which THEM is not being based off of anymore either. Yes, 3D is still in the works, but development is now being focused on a normal 2d style. This being the medium that most people will play the game in. As a result I had to rethink THEM’s logo and splash screen. THEM is being kept as a black and white video game, so the splash screen had to reflect that. The logo has the same cut-out feel as all of the in-game art and the city is still represented at the bottom of the logo as that is still an important part of the game. Overall I am happy with how it came out. It feels like it’s part of the game. Once you get a look at the final game you will see the closeness that the splash screen has to the overall design of THEM.
