Fauxgo: FrobozzCo International

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 ^ _ ^.

FrobozzCo International

Featured in: Zork, Video game (1977)

FrobozzCo International was a vast conglomerate of thousands upon thousands of companies that had once held a monopoly over every magical scroll, spell, staff, or magical device of any kind that was produced within the borders of the realms of Quendor until its destruction in the Great Diffusion of 1247 GUE. It can trace its origin to the Frobozz Magic Cave Company, which was formed at the behest of King Duncanthrax. There seem to be some contradictory elements on the history of the formation of the Frobozz Magic Construction Company (the forerunner of the modern industrial giant FrobozzCo International).
