day 4 of the yotsuben logo redesign challenge: Shinra Electric Power Company
man. the original Shinra logo is so so good. it's intimidating to redesign something that iconic! i also didn't feel comfortable properly typesetting japanese characters, so i stuck with what i know here. a little frustrating, but i've never been a big FF guy so i'm mostly relying on my osmosis knowledge of FF7.
but i know about mako energy! and i know about all those shinra guys in suits! so i leaned that direction with the gem shape getting pulled a bit bigger/tie-like + just getting a nice type lockup that felt corporate yet very FF.
not my best, but hey, that's why it's a "logo design challenge" and not a "logo design walk-in-the-park." gotta stretch!
tomorrow, another iconic logo that'll be tough to top: Umbrella Corporation
