Fauxgo: Metacortex

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 ^ _ ^.

Metacortex

Featured in: Matrix (1999)

MetaCortex (sometimes called MetaCortech) was a prominent software company in the Matrix that Neo worked for. It was referred to as being a "respectable software company" by Agent Smith. On what might have been his last day of work there, Neo, as Thomas Anderson, was being reprimanded by his boss, Mr. Rhineheart regarding his punctuality.

Blogger's note:

Matrix is one of my favorite science fiction movies because it refers to topics such as robotics, artificial intelligence, messianic figure, collapse of civilization, search for faith and internal conviction.
