A new OSR logo

This logo is released Free Forever into the Public Domain with no attribution requirements or possibility of being revoked in the future. Long live gaming. 

Black and white version.

Old school blue version.

(July 2023) I have updated the logo to include the phrase "compatible" for those that might wish it. Same license as before. 




Affinity file:
Original version: https://drive.google.com/
Compatible version: https://drive.google.com/

PSD (can't promise this works as I do not use Adobe apps):
Original version: https://drive.google.com/
Compatible version: https://drive.google.com

    3. Ah yes, I had to remove thousands of files from my Google Drive last fall because of space. I will see if I can locate the original file again and post it.

    4. Sorry for the delay, I ended losing the original file and had to recreate it. I have updated the original post with an Affinity Publisher file and a PSD version (hopefully it works).

    1. Glad you like it, I played around for a few hours messing with various hex shapes. I gave up and walked away to watch some football with my father-n-law and saw a commercial (do not even remember what it was for) and it just clicked in my head with this shape. So simple but effective.

  4. Groovy.
    What font is it?
    Or is it custom shapes?

  5. Nice logo! I think it's cool that the background can be either a hex or the silhouette of a d20.

    1. Yep, that is actually what I liked about it. A hex obviously references old school D&D, but the d20 shape makes it work across all old school games. Brilliant stroke of luck there. ;-)

    2. Hm... wouldn't this actually be closer to the silhouette of a d12? A d20 would come close, but would have offset angles. (squints at the die against the white display, burning it into his retinas...) Yeah, d12. So really, you have THREE silhouettes the logo hints at!
