It's been amazing celebrating Koala Bear Swamp's forthcoming game collectible card game with you. I'm looking to get to 50 Facebook Likes this week, and the reward will be some videos on the history of Fragging Unicorns Games' World of Neo Babylon where my game takes place.

Third logo idea: More of the Three Men and a Baby grizzly bear is thrust into a situation where he has to care for three koalas sort of idea. The more I think about it the more I think the koala mask might not be necessary, but I'm interested in feedback about that too.

Discuss.

04/07/2021

For my second logo idea I liked the idea of a grizzly bear wearing a koala mask, which addresses the fact that a koala is a marsupial. As an additional bonus, the "koala bear" is in the same pose as the infamous bigfoot sighting photo.

FEEDBACK QUESTION: If we run with this idea, should the koala mask have a normal smile, an exaggerated (almost creepy) clown smile, an angry face, a sad face? What do you think?

02/07/2021

Here's my first idea for a Koala Bear Swamp Logo. It doesn't address the fact that a koala is not a bear, but it does feature a BA koala with an eyepatch and a serrated knife in his mouth swimming all black ops through the swamp...

Discuss.

I'm looking to design a cool logo for Koala Bear Swamp so I don't have to use public domain stock photos anymore. I have some amateur sketches I'd like to share later, but what would you like to see out of a Koala Bear Swamp logo?

02/07/2021

THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Koala Bear Swamp is partnering with Fragging Unicorn Games to make a collectible card game in the World of Neo Babylon where Gangs of the Undercity and their forthcoming RPG Subversion take place. The game takes place during the Fairy Wars, AKA Satyawe.

I made contact with Chad at Fragging Unicorn Games after a self-help book called What Color is Your Parachute? slapped me in the face and said, "Making games with FUG is your dream job." I gave him two pitches and that's how our collaboration began.

Koala Bear Swamp acknowledges that the koala is a marsupial. Since we will be publishing in a fantasy setting, let's make this interesting. There is a chimera/amalgam called a Koala Bear. It is part Koala and part Bear. What is its fantasy origin story?

This is a picture of the first map my 4yo and I designed. I asked him what animals lived in this swamp and he said "koala bears." The adventure we created together was called The Dragon of Koala Bear Swamp. I figured he wouldn't mind if I borrowed his idea for the imprint.
