A very fun project I got to work on: after designing the logotype for the game Herdling, I was asked to make localized versions in Arabic and Chinese. I got to keep the horn shapes, and the implied mountain in the Arabic. 🗻 Play it! herdling.game

Game's key art (child in a red hoodie standing in a field with a mountain and a large bird behind, and a herd of giant buffalo-like, fuzzy creatures). Above it, the word الرعى

The same image, with the Chinese word 牧灵奇旅

the same image, with the English word Herdling. The text is styled such that on the ends, there are protruding horn shapes; through the middle of it run lines that converge at the middle-top, implying a mountain shape
