The game is about:
A pre-adult that finds out his dad was killed because of stealing from a king, which leads him out into exile. He soon finds out that he isn't even his real father, and searches for him while training to become a strong and daring knight. A long time afterwards, he stumbles upon his father in a city built open rock raised almost to the clouds, called "Arkotrath." Arkotrath is the biggest city every built, but together he and his father have to save it from impending doom, in a deathmatch between "lightness" and "darkness." Who will emerge victorious?
^ To give a feel for what I want the title to be about.
I don't really want any cartoonish-looking text or backgrounds, if you know what I am saying. But I am not meaning that I want blood in it. Maybe except for a small-but-noticeable blood-red moon in the middle of the left side of the picture, so top-left-middle you could say?
What I want it to look like is a massive city fortified on rock as the background with a noticeable light vs. dark theme (not like the buildings are white and black, maybe just the sky on one side very dark and one very light). Maybe (for the dark vs. light) you could have a massive storm, making it very dark, on one side for darkness, and on the other side rays/beams of light are passing through clouds, to make it light.
Oh, did I forget to mention that the game is called "The Battle of Arkotrath?" how could I forget...
By the way, I suggest to put the font like this:
______________________
|The Battle
| Of
| Arkotrath
|
|
| New Game
| Continue
| Shutdown
|_____________________
or some sort of variation.
And by the way, this will go commercial (not like international, but given out as freeware to the internet/ given out as a PC game locally). So take your time, if you need.
Sorry if I am giving out a hard task, I just want it to look professional.
This is what I have at the moment:

I don't really like this one, because I want the castle to have a certain look (like it was a mix of a real castle and RPG Maker XP), but how the castle is on rock is what I am aiming for. The font that I am thinking of fits in perfectly with the medieval setting, but possibly not the game itself (although I hope it does). Maybe a more medieval looking Classic Metal for "The Battle of" and a variation of the text I have in the picture. Like a thick outline of black on a darkish brown font with shading. For the placement of the text, I kind of want it more to the left corner, like Clint City Urban Warfare. And as for the moon I am talking about, I don't really want the moon behind the text, but near it, or maybe you could try it as the O in of or Arkotrath. When it comes to which 'o' it really doesn't matter.
The shading that I am thinking of is like this: ^_^ with the sun being to the right. So the right side of each carot is light while the underscore and left side of the picture is dark. Like having the ^_^ flipped 90 degrees to the left, and looking at it from the left. I don't know how to explain it, though. If you can't understand, I will try to make a better example. Ooh.. just though of one. Say you have two pencils that have points looking to the left. a flashlight the size of a pencil is looking straight down on the points of the pencils. Notice how the bottom side of each pencil is dark, the top is light, and the middle (in between pencils) is somewhat dark.
The ridges don't look like this:
\/ \/ \/ \/ \/
They look like this:
/They look like this:
light
\________/
/ dark \
somewhat dark
light
\________/
/ dark \
Just imagine these going down on the text.
Hope I made a good enough explanation... O_O
Thanks,
Ark.
P.S. And of course I will give credit where credit is due. =]
