I am incapable of using any good desktop photoshop program due to being on a mobile device.

I'd like to try it, but I don't have photoshop. Shame, because I took a class to do this thing.

Wait, is Photoshop free?

To my knowledge, no it's rather expensive for a full blown Photoshop.The real cal howard said:

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is free though. (At least last time i checked)

I could try my hand at making a logo tomorrow, I'm decently proficient in GIMP 2 and PaintDotNet.
@Cal. I believe one of the older versions of Photoshop is officially free to use nowadays, but the website navigation is a pain. PaintDotNet and GIMP 2 are good, free alternatives.

As I mentioned earlier, I would prefer well-known iconic characters from different types of mediums, given that this is going to be an advertisement to a large audience.
Skodwarde had the right idea regarding the types of featured characters.

Just focus on the most popular iconic characters, but only use 1-2 from American comicbooks (Superman, and maybe Spider-Man), and feature diverse mediums.

Still doesn't look good. Hopefully, Dark or Ryu can create a better one.

If you don't mind the suggestion, as long as it's done with Photoshop, maybe it would be good to have some more villain iconic characters as well? I mean, there's only Darth Vader for the bad guys right now.

@FateAlbane We should preferably go with the most recognisable and popular iconic characters, to make the advertisement work better. Doctor Doom and The Joker are quite well known, but not exactly crowd-pleasers.

What about Doctor who. Does he fit as iconic, his show is very well recognized, plus has a huge fan base? Not to mention it's a very,very old show.

I'm gonna give it a try on gimp. Would you mind waiting a little for me to give it a go?

One ide I have is we make the characters stand in a justice league like pose, here's a couple good examples [example 1] and [example 2]. Obviously we will have much more iconic characters, but I like how the examples are put together particularly number twos look, we could even add the VS battle logo in the middle. What do you guys think.

@Ryukama
I like the layout, with the exception that small parts of some of their bodies are outside of the screen.
However, it features 4 superheroes, instead of just Superman and Spider-Man, and is othervise not quite diverse enough regarding different types of mediums (books, games, comicbooks, manga, TV, movies, etc).
@The real cal howard I do not mind. All help is appreciated.

I'm not saying we use those images, I'm saying to use how they are presented but with are own characters, and the wiki logo in the middle. But if you don't like it that's fine

I like the idea of having the wiki logo in the middle. However, it is hard enough to piece together appropriate Photoshop images, without finding all of the characters in a posing standing position,

Well, you can use this image as a template, then copy the blue background colour, and use that to overwrite the "battles wiki" text.

Thank you. I mostly like the character selection, except for Ryuko, but would appreciate if you could shrink down the logo, and maybe try to add one or two more of the characters that I mentioned earlier. Mickey Mouse and Doctor Who would be good additions for example.
