Dark gothic band logo for 'Mirage' featuring splintered, thorny text, twisted roots, and two detailed skulls.

Design a visually compelling band logo in a dark gothic style that captures the distinctive mood and personality of a blackened sludge metal band, featuring custom razor-edged, splintered typography for the band name "Mirage" as the central element, possibly integrating twisted root and decayed bone motifs that symbolize the band's identity. Use a monochrome color palette of deep blacks, charcoal greys, and bone whites, with a grim, ominous tone, and apply stylistic effects such as distressed texture, heavy grunge overlays, fragmented glow, and bleeding shadows, rendered in a bold, balanced 1:1 composition with strong negative space for high versatility. Consider material qualities like flaked matte surfaces, scratched gloss accents, and embossed fractures, and ensure the logo is adaptable, instantly recognizable, and contemporary, ready for use across multiple digital and physical platforms. For background, use transparent if desired. See more
