RED FIVE- Creating the Logo

-Creating the Logo-

I was tasked with creating the fictional logo for Red Five, we decided that making a logo for the group would make the world of the film more believable. It was obvious that Red Five would have a logo as they would want to be recognised on the web.

Thought Process- I looked at other logos of hacking groups and noticed that many of them didn't have much colour and they were mostly serious in terms of tone. They conveyed a sophisticated nature, something that teenagers aren't known for. 

Originally the logo was just going to be the text "Red Five" but it looked empty and lacked personality. The name "Red Five" is a reference to Star Wars so I wanted to incorporate something relating to that film franchise and so I added a minimalist version of the infamous Death Star. The Death Star symbolises the power of mega corporations that steal data and information from others. I made the V the same shade of red as the background which makes the Death Star look like it's been pierced by the V showing that Red Five aim to take down these real life Death Stars. I didn't want to make the Death Star look like it was too intrusive as it is only a subtle reference.

After the basic concept of the logo was created we went into photoshop and added effects to make the logo more authentic. these effects included adding a crumpled paper-like texture to the background and pixelation.

 This is the final logo
