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 ^ _ ^.

There is a restaurant in the city of El Alto in Bolivia that took the name of Gusteau's from the movie. This restaurant has been operating since 2017. This restaurant has a Facebook page.

It is usual to see companies that take ideas from movies since their creators do not register their designs.

Duff Beer

Duff Beer is a brand of beer that originated as a fictional beverage on the animated series The Simpsons. Beers using the Duff branding have been brewed in a number of countries, resulting in legal battles with varying results.
