Thanks, MI!
I almost said that's above my comfort level, but then I realized that most of the letters are there: e, r, o, s.
I'd just have to make an H and an apostrophe (').
Maybe someday...

You can make the "H" by flipping, then inverting the "L" - for the cross part of the H, crop the "crossing" of the T.

Great suggestions!

I forgot I actually made it a personal project to edit all QFG SCI games and change every reference of "Quest for Glory" to "Hero's Quest". I did pretty much everything in all first four games EXCEPT for that QFG2 ending preview screen. However, the letters I changed for the QFG2 title are the same lettering style as that preview screen so it would just involve change the palette. My "H" doesn't look that great though.

That's a great attempt on the H, MI ! You did an excellent job of getting the color gradient down perfectly.

For the left stem of my 'H', I ended up using the 't' from 'Quest' after flipping it horizontally. For the right stem, I added the stem of the 'l' in 'Glory' after flipping it vertically and horizontally. The ends of the crossbar were also taken from the 't', and I filled in the middle of the crossbar from scratch.

The apostrophe (') was adapted from the lower half of the 'r' stem in 'Glory'.

MusicallyInspired, if you want my H or ('), just shoot me a PM; I have the "Hero's" lettering as a PNG with an empty background element -- suitable for copy and pasting.

*EDIT -- I kerned the 's' so it's closer to the 'o' and the apostrophe (').

Freaking epic.

I probably need to squeeze the 's' a wee bit closer to the apostrophe... tighten it up a bit.

*EDIT -- I kerned the 's' so it's closer to the 'o' and the apostrophe (') in the four Hero's Quest pictures above.

That H is spectacular! apostraphe is also way better. Def PMing you.

Well, enough of my nonsense -- these are the last ones, I promise. (Only 'cause there were no more QFG games...)

...And here's everyone favorite QFG game, Dragonfire!

Gimme an 'i' ! Why? Because I already had all of the other letters to spell Dragonfire between "Shadows of Darkness" and my "Wages of War", as well as my Roman numeral V. Just had to make a quick 'i' to complete it.

P.S. Thanks, MI !

I absolutely love these. Amazing job!

Thanks, JW !

Turned all of goatmeal's images into wallpapers to fit the thread too!

Was battling insomnia and this talk of "making" the words Hero's Quest (granted wouldn't fit in the above screens because of the coloring and position) - but ended up making a transparent logo of it from the cover.

Hmm ... how about putting it on a scroll (a la King's Quest 1) and calling it "Hero's Crest"?

(Of course I'm being facetious)
