THE BAMALAND PROJECT
Art always needs inspiration, and this minecraft world has been a heavy source of my inspiration (inspiration I partially credit my current passion for art and design to). Bamaland is the name used for my Minecraft world, as well as being the name of the main country created in that world.
Below are designs created for the world, don't worry about understanding them lol just appreciate the art

*NOTE I have recently began rebranding Bamaland however this page doesn't feature that (outside of the new logo used at the top of the page)
Rebranding Bamaland
After "The Fall Of Bamaland" project concluded, I felt the need to create a new "logo" for Bamaland, as the logo for "The Fall Of Bamaland" was specific to that project. The redesigned logo features a wordmark, like the previous logo, and a logomark.
The wordmark uses the same colours and font (aclonica) as "The Fall Of Bamaland" wordmark but instead uses all lowercase, apart from the first letter. There is also a drop shadow using the same colour as the stroke on the text, created by duplicating the text and offsetting it down with a colour overlay.
The logomark is unique to this design and is based off the oldest (and potentially one of the most important) building in the Bamaland world, Parliament. The parliament building is a castle so I wanted to capture that in the design. I use the same colours as the wordmark and also the same dropshadow technique as to create consistency in the designs. The clean curves create a powerful effect and it feels like the design is overpowering you, whilst staying fun.
Screenshot of building logomark is based on
U.S. Bamaland Poster
The formal name of the Bamaland country is the "United States of Bamaland " (AKA USBL) and I wanted to create a poster to showcase the whole country. This poster showcases all the states within the country and showcases their flags (however the colours have been changed to fit the poster).
As USBL is a merge of the two powers within the world ("The Amphe Empire and Bamaland") I wanted to combine their flag colours (Red for Bamaland and Blue for Amphe) in the poster, which is why it is purple.
In-World Brands
I wanted to create some logos for brands within the world, to help add further life to it. This is the logo for the fictional fast food chain, "Amazing". The logo is simple, comprising of the word, "amazing" in a bold sans serif typeface with a large letter "A" in the centre, as this logo can be simplified to just the "A".
This is an example of the logo being used within an advertisement, which also showcases the further brand identity I wanted to create for this restaurant chain.
In-World Brands
This is the logo for a music shop and so it features a quaver as the icon within the logo as it is also the name of the shop. This logo can also be simplifed into just the blocky quaver.
Infrasture Logos
Within the Bamaland world, the main method of transport is the vast subway network that connects the whole world. I wanted to create a logo for this to use at subway stations. The subway makes use of the minecraft block, "hanging signs" to indicate important information, like stops and borders, so I wanted to design the shape of the logo to be like a hanging sign.
This logo also features a simplified version for use when necessary.
