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 ^ _ ^.

Transigen


Featured in: Logan (2017)

Secretly, Transigen and his partner Alkali were putting chemicals in mass-produced foods, such as genetically modified corn stalks. These chemicals were suppressing the mutant X gene from being produced and therefore were responsible for the lack of mutant births in the future. Dr. Zander Rice wanted to do this so that mutant births could be selective and controlled.

Transigen began to breed mutants to be used as weapons. They used randomly selected young women to take the child and used genetic samples of mutants to impregnate them. The children were raised in the Alkali facility, where they were subjected to brutal treatment to try to be subjected to obedient weapons for Transigen.
