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 ^ _ ^.

Virtucon


Featured in: Austin Powers (1997)
 
Virtucon is a multinational conglomerate corporation controlled by Number Two and later Scott Evil. In 1967, Virtucon Industries was founded by Number Two. Even though it got a rocky start as a small business, it eventually gained enough funding and corporate power.

The company started as a volatile chemicals manufacturing company. In 1982, the company switched to the communications industry. By 1997, the conglomerate has grown into several different industries, such as shipping in Texas, a steel mill in Cleveland, oil refineries in Seattle, and a factory in Chicago that produced miniature models of factories.
