Fauxgo: Artificial Intelligence

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 ^ _ ^.

TET

Featured in: Oblivion (2013)

The Tet is an enormous tetrahedral space station, 30 miles per side orbiting Earth that was originally thought to be inhabited by humans who were yet to travel to Saturn's moon of Titan. It was later revealed to be an alien artificial intelligence that invaded Earth, and wiped out most of human civilization in the year 2017. The tet has under his command, under deception, several humans who are responsible for protecting the extraction of resources from the earth. Among them is the technician Number 49 Jack Harper.

Very little is known about the Tet's origins. The artificial intelligence feeds off of one planet after another for its resources, most likely for its own survival, as it was only interested in fusion energy during the harvesting of Earth.
