Logo ideas needed

[Azo-ri]

Okay, so I was asked to help with this. Here's what I got so far.

Bases it on the spectres, 'cause I think they have one of the most distinct looks in TSW that you can truly identify that "that belongs to TSW" without second guessing.
Tried to do male spectres with sword stabbed onto it but it seems too sinister. I only did it to keep with the swords theme, but yeeeaah. What do you guys think?

That kinda reminds me of the Judge's death on Hannibal Season 2 Ep. 4.

I suck at drawing. But if you think of a kusarigama, but elevate it to a sword status rather than a sickle.
Then you can visualize the concept of rune work on the chain and weighted end.
From there it is not hard to see the concept of the guild 9 Swords using 9 of these in a ritual for binding/releasing/summoning spirits.
Using the weighted for capture, and then using the Sword as an anchor to ground.

Took your idea and went kind of the other way cause scaling between monster and sword? I don't know, doesn't look too nice in my opinion.
But tried making a rune symbol of aegishjalmur using chain brushes. But they turned out messy:

So I tried out another one, by getting aegishjalmur symbol on the background then wrapping the chain onto the spectre:

I could replace it with the 9Swords instead but I need the .png of the logo.

Concept that I am speaking of.
With the Swords and chains holding it down vertically as the spirit is trying to fly away.

So, how about something like this: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2013 ... d_soul.jpg
Except with a spectre and a sword protruding from the top?

Great to see you have started thinking of ideas and also linking them!!

I like what you have made so far - though none of them completely screamed 9S Bestiary to me.. yet This last suggestion you linked is nice, though a little too complicated. Perhaps with less shading it could work well with your idea

It works, I just imagine a tighter binding.
http://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Chained_spirit is close but I see more chains....

It's looks like it's a great idea. Although I am not quite worried that it's starting to get a bit too complicated for a logo. Logos aren't meant to be overdone, actually they a just meant to be simple. That's why most logos, like McDonals, Google and Wendy's aren't very detailed or overdone. They are just simple and vectored.
