"Upon the Coldest Sea" went into the public vetting stage back in April. While there have been some (rather late in airing) objections, even some fairly reasoned ones, none have been of a remotely damning nature, and we may at present consider the matter closed unless (although I can think of no likely reasons [a google search of "upon the coldest sea" would make infringement claims seem highly unlikely ]) it becomes necessary to open it again.
(spoken in my best "You may fire... when ready" voice):
We should/will update the website as content becomes available.
... okay - so it wasn't anything like the quoted line

I like this (yes, I know I'm commenting too late!), but change one letter: Lure of the Void, implying that the pilot can't stay away..CubOfJudahsLion wrote: "Lore of the Void". Much less implication of accounts of personal glory, far more clearly referring to past legends and stories. Has a grandiloquent sound to it and the VS universe is fittingly huge. Implied with the word comes a sense of legacy, a ritual of sorts--all of which goes well with Deucalion's mourning pilgrimage and his inheritance of the ship.

Makes it sound more like a God game. Especially the tag line... 'who will live and who will die. The choice is yours.' When since did I get point and choose killing abilities in VS?Hadrian wrote:In this cold universe, who will live and who will die. The choice is yours.
Vega Strike
Legends of War
Perhaps this would be more appropriate:
In this cold universe, you either fight or you die. The choice is yours.
But it's not a War game either?Hadrian wrote:or the same intro line and
Vega Strike
Dimensions of War
I think we settled on 'upon the coldest sea' or 'legends of the void'.

Another proposal
Hi there,
Are proposals for logos still open? Here's an idea, I think it works well in different backgrounds. (Nevermind the tagline font, I didn't have any good font handy here, this can easily be changed -- suggestions welcome)
Also in lossless format (png)
I can send the original drawing in svg too if desired.
Let me know what you think! Thanks!!

Use Space Age font, or something like that. I must admit it looks a bit garish. Why not something simpler. Simple but with impact. You know...
like the logo of the main adversary ( The Rlaans i would guess, though I still don't like their concept idea - they sound too much like ALIENS in the movie).
Or the symbol of the ancients!!! Then small itty bitty text below... Vega Strike and whatever the subtitle is. I'm not too keen on "Upon The Coldest Sea".
Points for and against it:
PRO:
1.It's poetic
2.It brings to you an image of vast loneliness
CON:
1.It's too long
2."Upon" is not a good word to start something with.
3.The image of vast loneliness I was talking about? Well it could mean an antarctic whaling expedition, for all I know. As something that should evoke stars? space? it's not too good...
4.I know it's probably too late to change the subtitle, but I'm still trying. If I could know the plot (if there's any..) though, I could give you suggestions.
Hey, the first suggestions sounded uncomfortably like my favorite phrase: "A Step Into Oblivion" describing my massive inferiority complex, suicidal thoughts, and general dementia. Don't use it though. It's copyrighted by the Galactic Cremation Corporation.

A Step Into Oblivion
Dreams of things that will never be,
Songs of thoughts only I can hear,
Leave me be to sleep forever,
To dream my dreams,
And sing my hymns,
Of things that will never be...
Dreams of things that will never be,
Songs of thoughts only I can hear,
Leave me be to sleep forever,
To dream my dreams,
And sing my hymns,
