  1. Made a placeholder title screen

    Nothing fancy, but it will do for now. At the very moment I don't have ideas for a more unique background, maybe something will come to my mind after some time or simply later, as I progress. :darling:

      @Tacodidra You'd say that even if it looked terrible. :D jk, jk, Thank you. :squee: It's nothing special, but it does look okay indeed. If I won't get any better ideas, I may keep that one, so I'll see. :P I have some ideas on how to utilize that one though, so even if at first it will appear rather plain, some animations and transitions may make it nice. :darling:

      @Cash In Thank you and yeah, I see where you're coming from. These tend to really vary in games. :twi: Sometimes it's just a budget/unreadable font clashing with a messy background or something. :P I have a feeling I should come up with something unique for that particular game, rather than using obvious scenery, but it's still better than I expected to be honest. :P That background actually works pretty well, because it doesn't steal the spotlight, so to speak. Besides, that view and sky in general are awesome. :pout:

      It does look good enough for a final release, except for one thing:  the orbs that represent the elements of harmony leave me wondering which one represents which pony. 

      I mean, does the blue one represent Rainbow Dash, or does it represent Pinkie Pie?  It's the three on the right that really lead to confusion; the pure pink one looks like it could represent Fluttershy, but the other two are reddish-pink and whitish-pink, so I don't know who they're meant to represent. 

      If the reddish-pink one was just plain red and the whitish-pink one was fuschia, then I'd know these were the elements of harmony and which one was which.  Or if the pure pink one had some yellow on it and the whitish-pink one had some purple on it, then I'd know they were meant to represent the colors of the mane six themselves.

      All that said, I love what you did with the font!  I didn't notice how shattered it was until I looked at it a second time!

      Yeah, you're right, I've been wondering on that myself to be honest. :P I took the colors from the elements harmony in a specific way and put these in a specific order, it's just that these three elements share a similar color (red (where less saturation makes it look like pink), deep pink and lighter pink). Just look at it :dash: -- nMQ6Xcf.pnggpYeFxq.pngCP22w0E.png -- not my fault these blend together like this. :D I think the problem here is that I used too much of the brighter variant, which makes these look too similar. The biggest problem are Twilight's and Fluttershy's elements, as they're both pink with just slightly different shade.

      If you'll look closer, you should be able to tell which one represents which element. go1IT4x.pngLaughter, HHZEnfz.pngHonesty and Tt6rIUx.pngGenerosity are rather obvious, then there's that lighter pink, which is nMQ6Xcf.pngKindness, then there's red - gpYeFxq.pngLoyalty and at the end the deeper pink - CP22w0E.pngMagic. So yeah, it is possible, but indeed confusing. :twi: 

      Anyway, it's not really important to actually know which one is which and it's pretty easy to tell what these represent, as you don't have three pink ponies (or red) in the mane six and there's no whiteish, nor yellow, so Rarity and Fluttershy's colors aren't there. So if it's not about ponies, these have to be elements, which is what also the title kind of suggests with "Harmony". Nevertheless, I'll try changing the order of these colors, to use the darker variant more. That should make these easier to distinguish. Eventually I'll try making these colors a bit more aggressive.

      I was thinking of giving these an actual shape of the elements, which would surely make things obvious, but it's supposed to be a tiny little detail that suggests things, but not "yells" about it, so to speak. I may give it a try later though, maybe shaping these a bit won't hurt, though not sure about these low dimensions. Well, it was possible to make something, that looks like Twilight in 4x4 VmfYK2Q.png, so it should be possible. :mlp_icwudt:

      Thank you for commenting! :grin:

      Thank you! XDlaR1K.png That was the very first thing that came to my mind when I started thinking about the title screen / logo-thingie. :squee:

      I imagined it a bit different though. I didn't draw a concept, nor anything, it was just the first try, where I literally went with whatever I was getting in the process, hence why I said "placeholder". :P I might do some more science later, but yeah, it actually turned out better than I expected, as for the first, rather quick try. :mlp_icwudt:
