Abbreviating a series title

cgphils 2017-04-20 16:57:45 UTC #1

So my comic is called Adventures in the Chromatosphere. On the mobile app, this title shows up in the thumbnails as "Adventures in the" with a large blank space because Chromatosphere doesn't fit in the second line. My main question here is if I should change the title on Tapas to "Adv. in the Chromatosphere" because I don't like the way the title is displayed on mobile but I'm also not sure if I like shortening "Adventures" to "Adv." I'm not sure which format would be most appealing for possible new readers. Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

I think either way, Chromatosphere will still be cut off, since it is a pretty long word.
Why not just name the series Chromatoshphere? It's unique and just might make the cut. And I don't know how many series there are that start with "Adventures of/in …".

I tried switching to both "Adv. in the Chromatosphere" and just "Chromatosphere" but "Chromatosphe" is all that fits on a line in both cases. That doesn't really bother me though because at least most of the word fits.

And do you mean a lot of series start with that or not a lot do?

A bunch! Like if you type in "Adventures in" into the search bar on the main site a lot of comics come up.

I haven't decided what I'll do yet but I just discovered the title being cut off on mobile is because I have an iPhone 5S. Someone with an iPhone 7 looked at it and the whole title fit on the thumbnail because of the bigger screen.
