Purpose


Purpose:

I dedicate this blog to gather and share fictional logos mainly from movies. As a graphic designer and science fiction movies lover i find many of them very innovative. Fauxgo was a term coined by designer Tim Armstrong as “symbol or design detail created to represent a fiction company or organization that only exists in movies”. Armstrong affirms that a good ‘Fauxgo’ can help improve the credibility of a movie and become the icon of a movie.

I greatly surprised that some of these logos have jumped to the real world as companies or are inspiration for people to create their own companies or design new logos as you will note in posts.

Due the Armstrong’s fauxgo site is no longer available online i decided to relieve him and share my compilation with you! Feel free to comment about the movies, the companies or about the logos. You can also contribute by mentioning old or new companies in movies or TV series. Thanks for reading ^ _ ^.

Essex Corp




Featured in: X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)
 

Essex Corporation was a mysterious organization that collected the genetic material of mutants for unknown purposes. This is the company of Dr. Nathaniel Essex, a contemporary 1859 biologist from Darwin and obsessed with evolution and mutant genes in it.

As already implied in the previous sentence, Essex's first superpower is an extraordinary longevity. In the comics, Nathaniel Essex receives his superhuman abilities from the Apocalypse itself.
