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 ^ _ ^.

Sato Enterprises


Featured in: Karate kid 2 (1986)

Over time Sato Toguchi has acquired multiple properties, in addition to the dojo, as farmland in Tomi Village, and an ancient castle both in Okinawa. The castle was the traditional site where the O-bon festival was held. Sato sold with the artistic and archaeological pieces of this castle.

Blogger’s note: I personally reconstructed this fauxgo because i found the original in low resolution. This is one of my favorite fauxgos not only because of the design but also because of the symbolism of koi fishes, which represent the overcome of obstacles and friendship. Koi fish have a very long history in Chinese and Japanese culture.
