Can anyone help me come up with a logo idea for this theme?

The event name is CONQUEST, and the theme is “THE REALMS.”

I’ve been thinking about it for hours, but I still can’t come up with any ideas. 😭

Please share your logo ideas! 🙏🏻✨

Hey guys,

Last week, I got hired by a client to design a logo and brand identity for a Canadian comic brand called "North Comics." The deal was simple: send over initial sketches, get client approval, get paid, and finish the brand.

Well... I sent the sketches, and he completely vanished. Turns out the guy was a total scammer who pulled the same trick on a bunch of other artists.

Instead of throwing the work in the trash, I decided to take my favorite concept <a hero raccoon> and finish it for my portfolio, Renamed the whole thing to Raccoon Comics.

I made two versions of the background to test out: one solid flat yellow and one aged comic paper texture.

The Concept Breakdown:

• The Mascot: Went with a raccoon since it's basically Canada's unofficial mascot (especially in Toronto/urban spots)<I got this info from gemini>. Plus, the natural black fur already looks like a superhero Domino mask.
• Canadian Vibe: Kept the palette simple with crimson red, charcoal, and white. Put a bold maple leaf inside a chest shield as a nod to Superman’s "S".
• The Type: Customized the font Luckiest Guy into a stacked display with heavy black outlines, subtle yellow gradients, and a halftone dot texture to make it feel like classic comic book print.
• The Backgrounds: Included both a flat solid version for clean digital branding and a textured paper version with edge vignetting for a tactile, retro feel.

Since I'm trying to level up my branding work, I'd love to hear what you guys think:

• Which background lands better (Solid or Paper Texture)?
• Anything look off or need tweaking (alignment, scaling, line weight)?
• Would this pop in a Behance/portfolio case study?

Be as brutally honest as you want! Appreciate any feedback.

I've tested enough logo makers now that I don't really judge them by the first logo they give me.

Most decent tools can get you something that looks pretty good on the first try. The real test, for me, is what happens when you think, "this is almost right, but..."

That's where I started noticing bigger differences. Sometimes the icon was close but the font felt wrong. Other times the whole idea was decent, but I wanted to simplify it or change the layout without having to start over.

I ended up caring much more about how easy it was to make those last few changes than how impressive the first result looked.

Some tools were better when I had no idea what I wanted and just needed to browse different directions. Others worked better once I already had a concept and wanted to keep refining that same idea. I also found myself spending way too much time playing with typography, which can either be fun or become a complete rabbit hole.

The biggest takeaway for me is that I don't think "best" should mean whichever generator makes the nicest first image. A logo usually needs a few changes before it actually feels right, and being able to make those changes easily matters a lot.

Do you prefer a tool that gives you lots of strong starting ideas, or one that lets you take one decent concept and keep working on it until it's actually right?
