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 First Order


Featured in: Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

The First Order, also known as the Order, was a military junta that controlled vast areas of the galaxy's Unknown Regions during the New Republic Era, and ultimately became the dominant galactic government upon launching a war of conquest in year 34 ABY.

Formed from the remnants of the Galactic Empire, the First Order took steps to gradually reclaim the lost Imperial legacy, building new fleets and armies in defiance of the Galactic Concordance while hidden away from the New Republic in the Unknown Regions. During its rise to power, the First Order was governed under the absolute rule of Supreme Leader Snoke, who presided over its expansionist agenda.

The Galactic Empire


Featured in: Star Wars, A New Hope (1977) and it sequels

The Galactic Empire, the First Galactic Empire or just simply the Empire was a autocracy featured in the Star Wars franchise. It was first introduced in the 1977 film Star Wars and also appears in its two sequels: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983) and is the main antagonist faction of the original trilogy. An autocratic regime with a complicated bureaucracy, the Galactic Empire sought to ensure one rule over every planetary system under its dominion. It was the fascist galactic government that replaced the Galactic Republic in the aftermath of the Clone Wars.

Secretly ruled by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious—publicly known as Galactic Emperor Palpatine—the new regime rose to power with a groundswell of populist support, promising peace and stability.

Federal Colonies

 

Featured in: Total Recall (1990)

Federal Colonies operates and governs mining facilities and their supporting domed habitats on the planet Mars—a sprawling colony constructed by Earth’s Northern Bloc for the purpose of extracting Mars’ turbinium ore.

Turbinium is a high value export that returns immense profits, with the ore being essential to war efforts back on Earth, where it has military applications in the Northern Bloc’s space-based weaponry targeting enemies in the Southern Bloc.
