Beneath the characters the text 'Four Heroes Gaming' in a stylized font and layout.

um, don't really want to come off like I'm saying you're bad for thinking this way, but are you sure this is a good idea for a logo for a new company?

Final Fantasy really only has one logo, which is FINAL FANTASY in Runic MT condensed, which itself works because its simple as hell and recognizable at a glance. the game-specific variations tend to be ridiculously complicated and busy, and really only work at all because Final Fantasy, as a franchise, has a RIDICULOUS amount of name recognition. Even though this is probably wrong from a technical standpoint, I always classified the game-specific variations as not logos, but cover illustrations that happened to incorporate the logo.

if you're a company just starting out, I'd recommend going for something much simpler and, well, unique.

then again, this is just the opinion of a second-year GD student who's not NEARLY as good as I act like anyway, so who knows.
