Quest for Arete - The quest begins!

Quest for Arete

The creators of Quest for Arete (ARE-a-tay), a new collectible card game (CCG), are seeking finalized designs of the game logo. "Arete" is a Greek term meaning "excellence." The logo is a stylized lowercase "a" to represent the term "arete."

Quest for Arete is a CCG where players take on the role of a sorcerer's apprentice and use their skills and training with magical elements (each represented by a card) to create spells, collect rare elements and customize their card decks to achieve excellence.

In the game the apprentices are charged by their master to go into the world to restore the spirit of excellence that is missing from the land. Each must duel any other sorcerer's apprentice they meet. Every duel, won or lost, increases their knowledge and mastery of the elements and their own excellence. As they increase their skills and understanding they can collect and use more powerful elements and customize their deck of cards.

The Q4A logo will be used on all the game's marketing communications.

The goal is a simple, elegant design easily recognized and associated with the game.

The immediate use of the logo will be on the initial decks of cards, packaging and advertising media.

We are seeking a variety of looks for the design, such as embroidered in fabric, minted in coins, worked into leather, on the breastplate of armor, etched in stone, appearing in flames or smoke, etc.

The attached examples include
- a character art piece in which the logo is visible in the flames of his torch.
- a character art sketch with the logo on the subjects' clothes
- a rough outline drawing of the basic shape of the logo
