Good day, everyone, and happy holidays!
I invite you to participate in the competition for the development of a logo for the tabletop role-playing game Arheterica. This is an adventure game about occultism and secret societies set in the 19th century. In this game, gentlemen and gentlewomen in tailcoats and with single-shot pistols hunt for otherworldly secrets and achieve spiritual enlightenment (or complete madness). Sources of inspiration: Napoleonic era, Lovecraft, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, secret societies (Freemasons / Illuminati).

Technical Assignment:
A universal logo is needed, consisting of two components - a logomark and the word "Arheterica" in a stylish font. The text with the logomark should look organic both in a horizontal arrangement, on the left, and in a vertical arrangement (logomark on top, text below).
Drawing: line or silhouette, monochrome.
Level of detail: minimal, so that the logo looks good in the website header, including the mobile version. Screenshots of the website are attached, the proposed logo must be demonstrated on them “live”.
Logo references by level of detail are attached.
Logo theme: dangerous blades, monograms, Freemasons, gentlemen. References are attached.
The use of a combination of the classic dangerous blade and the symbol of the all-seeing eye is highly welcomed. The blade is a symbol of the gentlemanly era, neatness, and decency, but at the same time a symbol of conspiracies, readiness to shed blood. The all-seeing eye is a symbol of the Otherworldly, a symbol of enlightenment. A sample of the combination is attached, but it is not suitable as a logo (the detail does not look good when reduced).

The winner of the competition will be chosen based on the overall aesthetic impression, originality of elements, and technical execution.
I wish you inspiration!
