Finale

by iZac, Shanghai, Monday, February 25, 2013, 20:27 (4077 days ago) @ kapowaz

So, incorporating some of the other ideas that have been suggested by others, I have my final design (or to be more accurate, three different variants of the final logo). I was trying to come up with something that felt like an homage to the embroidered mission patches belonging to NASA astronauts, as well as 80s sci-fi kitsch.

Portrait aspect ratio with HBO text

The proportions of the various components differ ever so slightly in each version, to more appropriately fit the layout. I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, but that's me done I think. Let's see where this goes!

I think these are the most successful yet, I particularly like the geometric counter to the circle.

Incidentally is "Finale" a Madeon reference? 'cos I can't help but hum "The City" every time I see that skyline ...
