Rafiq - podcast logo

One of the Magic: the Gathering judges decided he would like to do a podcast about the Commander format. Commander is a multiplayer variant of the game where the players select their leading general and build a 100-card deck around this general.

The character for the logo needed to be bold and powerful but also instantly recognizable as the Commander characteristic character. I chose Rafiq because in the game he is one of the few generals who can win the game by themselves. I gave him this smirk and proudness as if he was about to win the game this instant with just this one card that he's holding.

The writing is all hand done in Procreate with some minor adjustments on the PC.
I also did a textless version for the Facebook profile picture
