Retro-stylised badge design inspired by the mythology of my favourite television programmes, Fringe. Firstly, if you have not watched Fringe. here is the obligatory ****.One of the most pervasive and consistent of the show's motifs is the differences between our universe (Over Here) and the alternate universe presented in the show (Over There). This motif is manifested and explored in various ways throughout the show.The New York city skyline is perhaps the most prominent image used in the show to capture the aforementioned motif. I loved the use of architecture as a means to display the differences between our Manhattan Over Here and the other Manhatan Over There. The badge aims to capture the architectural essence of the differences motif. I designed this after a hardcore re-watch binge and paid particular attention to various episodes in which the various architectural similarities and differences between Manhattan and Manhatan. I have listed these below in the episode in which each became first apparent to me:(Season 1, Episode 22)- WTC 1 (North Tower)- WTC 2 (South Tower)- One World Financial Center- Two World Financial Center- Three World Financial Center(Season 2, Episode 16)- Empire State Building (and zeppelins/airships)(Season 2, Episode 23)- Gaudi's Hotel Attraction (as 'The Grand Hotel')- Statue of Liberty (in original copper colour untarnished by oxidising green patina)- Chrysler Building- Transamerica Pyramid Center (in mid-town Manhatan; not downtown San Francisco).(Season 3, Episode 13)- MetLife Building- Citigroup CenterNB: Whether or not the buildings possess the same names Over There is not revealed in Fringe canon. I included them because it is each buildings respective likeness - as each pertains to the counterparts Over Here - that is present Over There. Indeed, that Gaudi's Hotel Attraction - which was never built Over Here - is called 'The Grand Hotel' does lend some credibility to the possibility that each buildings may not share exactly the same name across universes.The elements were taken from internet images digitally reduced. The Statue of Liberty was reduced in Photoshop via Posterising and vectorised. The foremost and farthest skyline elements were sourced as internet images of the rela world skyscrapers, and subsequently traced as vectors in Illustrator.I experimented with various colour palettes. The primary brown colour and its derivatives were sourced directly from episode screen captures of the dull copper representation of the landmark as it appears Over There. The remaining elements were inspired by various mood boards I put together focusing on retro design, including patterns/wallpapers/textures, shapes and shape forms, strokes and outlines, and typography.This remains one of my favourite pieces of work ever.* I have many more Fringe projects pending, but no longer have the time to do them. Which, sucks obviously. Hopefully I finish them one day.*It really is. Despite the fact that it hails from a time when I still possessed a naïve penchant for rather prominent layer effects (especially drop shadows).
