I'm not too keen on slightly altering the original logo in order to make it more legible. What makes the original so great is the beautiful cursive writing, and so I don't feel it should be touched, or something similar should be created. So a completely different logo on the boxart would be preferable IMO. I tried to just think of something really simple, but sort of classic, to fit in with the theme of shenmue and this is what I came up with. Just a basic serif font almost as if it's not a logo at all, but simply a translation of the original japanese logo.

I like that idea a lot. It was interesting that Suzuki pointed to Peter's shirt and said that's the logo he wanted to go with for now. Any of your guys' creations would be eons better than that papyrus paint job

Great work !!! :shock:

I'm sure if we have paper packaging boxcase same as European version, this will be very collector.

and the blue color of PS4 is exactly same as Dreamcast version on the edge !! ;-)

I belive they will make great packaging !

I can't even understand why there's even a question about this, but if we really have to surrender to this "people can't read cursive anymore" thing (seriously?), i'd rather have a totally new block letters font (with the original japanese logo placed somewhere, like someone has already done) than an uglish fake cursive one with some horribly splitted lettering.

Hey, and what about the number three in the title? You don't want to scare walmart customers, right? Why don't you "hide" that in the logo like CD Projekt did with The Witcher III one?

Or, even better, what about a reversible cover? One side for us old fans, and the other one for the "special" millenials audience.
Lots of games are doing this nowadays.

Oh, and i really hope that the Yu's team can figure this out without having to use fan made logos, for god's sake.

Original logo because it's unique

Unlike the new platypus font, looks too westernized

Here's my take on the Shenmue logo, I also posted this on the Community Projects so I aplogise if you're seeing this twice.

Feedback welcome :D

No no all wrong.

Try to make it like the Mortal Kombat 3 logo... the phoenix mirror can take the placed in the center of the 3.

it's ALL wrong, ALL of it ... haha!

Ok, let's have a look at this Mortal Kombat logo to make this less "no no all wrong".

I'm done here... can't spend more time on this cause it's making me crazy :mrgreen:

I made a last version based on your comments, still not perfect (I kind of distorted some letters) but decent enough to show in which direction we would YsNet to go with the logo.

I may send this one to @Shenmue_3 if I find the courage... will see were it goes. (In the trash can probably :P )


Again, thank you very much for your help and encouragements!


I'd refine it before you send it off. I've been in the graphic design biz for about 11 years now, and I see a lot of telltale rookie mistakes here. You're getting there, though--at least you didn't use a soft emboss (the worst rookie mistake as far as I'm concerned).

Sorry if that seems harsh, just giving feedback from a professional perspective :)

Thank you for your professional feedback :) Appreciate it!

I can send you my .psd files if you want to refine them.

We can then send the fonts to @Shenmue3 as a "Shenmue_Dojo" creation since at the end of the day it's the work of many ;)

Just send me your mail through PM if you are interested.

PS: I'm talking about this version by the way:

Just for fun, I've mixed my created fonts with yours and saved it as a 1920*1080 wallpaper.

Hope it's ok with you ;-)

I really don't like that 3. It should be numerals.

I still have to wonder, who couldn't read "Shenmue" in the original font?

Yep, it's a false misconception on the part of Yu. Think it will be worth mentioning to him in a few weeks. I mean conjoined text is only relative to western handwriting so I don't understand who has told him that, it where he got his research from.

We can sit here forever, the fact is that we (hardcore fans?) want the original Shenmue fonts and nothing else. :D

Yea, Yu is completely off base with that line of thought.

Some cursive is hard to read(like when people write a letter or a book in super unique to them variation of cursive, and more times then not, sloppy as well. I really hate when people do that), but not something like this, this is as generic, and strait forward as it getsHell the letters look just like their printed counterparts, this just gives it a little more flare), people would not have a problem with reading such at all.
