Windhammer Logo Comps

These are variations on a logo for my famed air guitar persona. I think it's close, but not quite there. I've spent a lot of time fussing with the stroke modulation to strike the right tone and balance, and it's time to step back and get some more eyes on it.

What I'm going for:

  1. Menacing
  2. Heavy metal and D&D (somewhere between vaguely and overtly)

Likes:

  1. Good interplay of positive and negative space.
  2. Doesn't immediately read as a W.
  3. Sharp and stabby.

Dislikes:

  1. Looks kind of like an automotive or super hero logo.
  2. Still a bit whimsical.

At the moment I'm leaning in the direction of A or B. I'd love some feedback!

Windhammer Logo Candidate

Thanks again to everyone for all the great feedback. After many iterations, this might be the one. I'm gonna see how it sits for a few days. Continued feedback is welcome in the meantime.

I knew something wasn't quite right about the last iteration, and it had to do with the wingy things on the sides, which felt oddly arbitrary. When I showed it to my partner in crime, she said, "Where's the hammer?" Boom.

Windhammer Belt Buckle

Well, the logo is sure as shit final now.

One of a kind, designed by yours truly and fabricated from pewter by the good people at Ace Buckles.
