I'm just writing something and I need to know if the various megacorps have ever had logos designed for them. I vaguely remember a plumed, helmeted profile for Ares and Never Deal with a Dragon described Renraku's as a sylised radio dish. Especially, I am after a logo or slogan for Shiawase. Thanks, -K. |

Fantastic! Fast and more than I could have hoped for. Shame Shiawase's logo is so ugly. Oh, well. Thanks a lot. :) -K. |

WHAT?!? That's a simple fractal with some words in it. How does someone get a radio dish out of that? Also, Shiawase's looks a little better in color. |

Sam Werner looks out of the VTOL window and see the Renraku symbol on the side of the building which he says was a dot and waves coming out of it, meant to represent a radio dish. I remember it quite clearly, though I no longer have the book. Of course, not every author of a game book has such an in depth knowledge of the trilogy as I do, so I guess it got changed. ;) Is there anywhere that I can see the Shiawase logo in colour, btw? |

I thought I'd seen it somewhere, but until I can remember/rediscover where, here's some alternates: old logos
Now all I can find is the same B&W version that looks a little better in orange. |

Some of the same logos as before, and some more. |

Thanks to all three of you. I think the old Shiawase logo (green with gold lettering) was much nicer, but you're right - the new one is much better in yellow. Also some very useful information on the corp. I didn't think I'd get much response to this question, odd as it was. Thanks.
And on a tangent, I'm looking at the logo for the Draco Foundation and I can't imagine what idiot of marketing department would ever think that is a good logo for themselves. All it says to me (very loudly) is World Domination. Way to reassure the humans! Cheers, -K. |

I, too, wondered about that strange draco foundation logo :).
I haven't paid any attention to corp logos before, but some of them are too awesome not to use on a handout or something. |

ah, but it's benevolent world domination... so no one really gets to concerned about it. |

Just what you'd expect from a "leader of the free world". But to get back on topic, I'm quite proud of the Eurocorp logos I did - particularly the Z-IC one that made the cover of SR4. I have more on file though, can't remember if they got published. |

I've done courses in Design, specifically in logos, and the Saeder Krupp and Yamatetsu ones are wrong in so many ways, not to mention unpleasant.

Wasn't there a logo for SK far simpler, kind of a stylized SK in a triangle ar something, that SK personnel would wear on their uniform?
I might have it confused with something else, but if it doesn't exist, it should ;). |
