OSRS - Varlamore, Land Expansion Logo (content update)

This logo was created for a big upcoming content update for Old School RuneScape, which will expand on the landmass of an existing area of the map. Not too much is know about the area aside from the clear inspiration taken from the Mayan and Aztec eras.

I wanted to pull as much reference as I could from the characters and the gods they worship in that region and include it in the design of the logo, from shape language to colourways. I also wanted the colour of both the logo and teaser visual to be bright and inviting for players to make this new area attractive to players to explore, as a lot of the Old School updates lean into a more gritty palette.

As with most of the Old School logos, this was 3D rendered with a hand painted finish.
