So I finally broke down and decided to re-name this bad boy. It's gonna be hard throwing away the old name in favor of this new one, but time is all it will take. It's hard though--how could just a single word or even just a single name describe a game? A story? A universe!?

Cicatrix was the obvious choice, honestly the final contestants were Sillion, The Scar, or Cicatrix, and although Cicatrix sounds too "Matrix-y" it was the right one to go with. Ephren's life has been scarred, and the road ahead is the healing flesh. Perfect.

I played around with the CSS, (which I am a total noob at) but hopefully it will be pretty before long. Thanks for sticking with me!

I preferred the wings effect behind the old name/logo to this moon one, but whatever. Cicatrix huh, it is a definite improvement over Hero I which I honestly never understood.

BTW you should probably take one of the logos away because the main page has three of them in succession. I'd say the one in the top left.

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, I don't really like that top left one there either, but I need SOMETHING there, otherwise the right one gets squished... there also should be something there to link back to the main page. So yeah, I'll have to think of something.

The wings were cool, but they didn't really have too much to do with it either. At least this time around it's actually ME doing the logos, (which is probably why it looks a little less polished). I'm an illustration major in college, but my digital skills aren't quite up to par yet. Eventually I'll draw a few things and scan them which will give me a better base to work off of. I suppose this logo will be updated as time goes on.

Why not just 'Scarred' then? Clear, succinct, meaningful. No pretensions! -- Words in Latin often give me a iffy feeling, specially when they contain uncommon letters such as 'X' or are not coupled with a non obscure word; A nice title: Starless Umbra. ... About the logo. I don't mind the moon, but the mugshot looks totally out of place. Just keep the eyes if you really wanna use that.

I feel like "Scarred" is a little too average. Plus, I don't want it to be thought of as similar to "Dhux's Scar." If enough people seem to think that "Scarred" would be better then I'll certainly change it... but I did just do all that work to make the logo for "Cicatrix."

You really think it looks out of place? So just the name and the crescent then? Hrm. It looks alright to me.

Well, in Spanish (The original language of the game) "Dhux's Scar" reads "La cicatriz de Dhux" so there's no escaping the resemblance. x) ...And yes, just the name and the crescent is a good idea. When it comes to logos, less is always more. o/
