Voyage of Legends brings Rare’s world of Sea of Thieves to the tabletop, reimagining the adventures found on the high seas in the video game into a board game for multiple players.

The brief was to bring the aesthetics and distinctive design of the game to each component, making each piece of the board game feel like a found object from the world.

I pitched a creative direction to Rare with this in mind, and working together with Rare and the Steamforged design team to build a logo, design direction and layout that would feel at home deep in the decks of a galleon or on the table of an outpost.

The end result is a faithful recreation of Sea of Thieves paired with a tailored visual style for board game fans and longtime players of the franchise.

Making a unique identity

When design the visual identity for Sea of Thieves: Voyage of Legends, it was clear that it required it’s own bespoke logo lock up for the branding of the game.

Taking inspiration from the main title, the Voyage of legends subtitle was illustrated to mimic the original typography, including highlights, texture and visual form.
