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 ^ _ ^.

King industries


Featured in: The World Is Not Enough (1999)

King Industries Plc. is a multinational oil company owned by Sir Robert King and subsequently by his daughter Elektra King. King Industries came into the possession of Sir Robert, then a construction entrepreneur, after he married a woman from Azerbaijan, whose father was an oil magnate and decided to hand the company to him, having no sons of his own.

As a result of this merger of industries, King Industries grew, branching into land development, as well as installing oil pipelines across the world.
