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 ^ _ ^.

The Ultor Corporation


Featured in: Red Faction, Video game (2001)

The Ultor Corporation features in the Red faction video game. Red Faction takes place on Mars in the year 2075.

The Ultor Corporation, named after the ancient Roman temple devoted to the Roman god Mars, is the body in complete control of governance and industry on Mars prior to the First Martian Revolution when they are overthrown by the Red Faction insurgency and the Earth Defense Force. While Ultor has interests in nanotechnology and weapon manufacturing, they are primarily a mining company; this can be seen in their logo, a stylized continuous mining machine blade wheel.

Ultor Corporation abuses their workers and forces them to endure hazardous living conditions. A plague of unknown origin sweeps through the colony, but the Ultor does nothing to stop its spread, or to provide aid to the sick.
