(Fours years later...) What is this magic?! These logos are simply beautiful. Everything is so detailed, and in my opinion, the stories of each would-be game are well represented in the logos. The choice of fonts compliment the mood of each logo. The colors are vibrant and the motifs are gorgeous. I can imagine the time spent in creating these, and I am more than certain it was time well spent. Quite honestly, I see nothing to improve: of course, if you continue to do what you enjoy (which in four years I can safely assume you have) you will/have improve(d) nicely. These logos are darn near perfect, and I would LOVE to see Zelda games with these. Kudos!

A video game or movie logo is always tough to figure out. Video games, more so. And to take an existing franchise and try to create a logo in that same light is even more challenging.
I think the artist has done a decent job here. The biggest concern would definitely be the treatment of typography. While even the professional industry doesn't always make good type decisions, it's still important to make sure those decisions are made correctly. It's almost always a bad idea to take a serif font and add any amount of bevel or emboss. Also, outlining text should be done in a way that aids reading.
The illustrations here are quite nice, though I feel they are so complicated that one has trouble interpreting what they are. One should always be careful not to overdo layer styles or effects. A simpler design says more about professionalism than throwing on as many flashy effects as possible.
Another concern is the fact that the logos are highly monochromatic. Summoners Symphony does much better with it, but the other logos have the word "Zelda" in the same hue as the background objects, which creates less contrast: something of utmost importance when it comes to readability.
I understand that it may not be artist's intention to imitate the visual conventions of existing Zelda logos. Therefore, the fact that these logos have a much different feel than the official logos isn't necessarily a problem.
In summary, the biggest issue is typography: contrast of letters against the background, simplicity of design, and perhaps the appropriateness of the modern scrawl in the subtitles.
Take all of these into account, and your logos will go from being just more fan-made Zelda logos to something that will make your audience think twice.
Hope this has been constructive!

Hello hextupleyoodot~
This was an excellent way to critique one's fundamentals about logo designs. The standards are challenging enough as it is according to the star scales, but luckily enough, you have the well-constructed, elaborate details to specify precisely what flaws are mainly concerned of from this picture containing the Zelda logos. The construct and elaboration is easy and clear to understand from here, and towards the end, it's also encouraging by the likes of advices being taken into account. Thank you for your sophisticatedly analyzed critique!

With beautiful colors and amazing vocabulary, the artist depicts how he might want Zelda Logos to look in the future. Every color blends with one another. He has a very skilled technique, which will captivate the viewer. Very detailed and percise, his originality is amazing. To come up with six original names is very difficult. My favorite logo happens to be "The Legend of Zelda: Summoner's Symphony". It has a very nice choice of colors that go together just amazingly. I also admire the logo of "The Legend of Zelda: Paragon Lords". It's very mystique and just simply gorgeous. I now want to know the storylines of each game; they sound very, very interesting.
Amazing job! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

They're just logos I made up and created. They do represent good names and a plot-signed symbol/illustration behind each logo.

Im intrigued about that "Summoner's Symphony". Playing a Zelda game in which you can summon objects or(what they call in Final Fantasy) "Call Monsters" sounds like a good idea.

I would like to call those summoned monsters, "Phantasmagorians" or from the world of Zenioni, the "Zenidolans," in which are powerful phantoms of the Zenian race.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dont know what "Zenidolans" are.
Also, I, going by the word "Symphony" in the title, assume the game will play like Wind Waker.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Zenidolans are the ghosts of the ancient Zenioni race known as the Zenians. Long undiscovered, but remarked for their amazing craftmanships in sky technology, it's really a race I made up. I hope to illustrate it soon, "Summoner's Symphony" is supposedly taken place after "Crystal Epitaph."
As for its speculated gameplay, it's actually in a sky world sunken on the sea (not all under, but the ones under the sea are the ancient, lost lands). Therefore, it's a skysea setting, but as far as instruments go, you use the Fantasy Ocarina that can transform into a flute or conductor, depending on what you need to do in a particular kind of situation.
