Title: Corporation's "Face"
Post by: jdjtcagle on February 02, 2008, 12:27:44 am: If there is anyone bored or just wants to participate then please go ahead.
A project to create a "face" for FreeSpace Corporations.

Basically you make a identity (logo, slogan, design, ect) for a FreeSpace Corp.

Here is my design for Triton Dynamics (what do you think?)

IIRC, Triton Dynamics, Subach Innes and the Akethon Corporation are already in there.

Hmm, DiabloRojo attempted to do some recreations of the different corporate logos you see in some of the FS2 anis after I suggested maybe using them on, uhm, a t-shirt... linky below.

He was thinking of perhaps using them in-game. Could put them on cargo containers as well as ships maybe. These new ones look nice too. Maybe someone could attempt logos for the less well known companys in FS. I'm not artistic but I was thinking of messing around with font editors a while ago to create logos and stuff.

In that case... I dunno. Kind of makes them stupid and "contra-canon". (no offense)

Post by: lostllama on February 02, 2008, 09:32:36 am: I suppose these could be used as pre-FS1 or post-FS2 logos and perhaps that would be ok.The corporations could have had a bit of re-branding or company facelifting going on from time to time. But to avoid being counter-canon there are other companies in FS that are mentioned but don't (AFAIK) have logos, like Dynamic Metamer and Han-Ronald Corp.

EDIT: Well the Triton Dynamics one mentions the UD-8 Kayser in it and some other FS2-era things so maybe that could be a post-Capella/FS2 logo.

non taken...
My logic --> brands change often and I'm keeping it simple without having to match canon text. So expand your creativity and come up with something totaly unoriginal or try to come up with canon ones. ;)
