OUGD603: Brief 04 - Small Brands: Galactic Republic Rugby // Star Wars Iconography and Sig

A part of this brief I enjoy is the Star Wars integration, and treating the Star Wars fictional franchise as if it were an existing entity. I've read and watched a great deal of media surrounding the existing six, soon to be seven films. Because of which, I'm familiar with the signage and icons uses in the Star Wars universe. 


Above is a collection of icons, which are used to represent factions in the universe, from left to right; The Rebel Alliance (4-6), The Galactic Empire (3-6), The Galactic Republic (Pre 1-3;6-), The Jedi Order (Pre 1-3;6-) and The First Order (7-). 


These icons have been manipulated by artists within the Star Wars fan base. Above is an sketch of the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Empire logos combined into one. Using a character, Boba Fett, from the original trilogy as the fill of the illustration. 

It works particularly well, as it incorporates so many different entities into one icon. Which is the main issue I'm having with designing the logo for the rugby tournament. 


In this illustration, which has been tattooed – I know, I couldn't find any other image of it. Uses another symbol from the Star Wars universe, which they have worked in with a 3D object, a lightsaber. 

As a vast majority of the signage in the Star Wars universe all uses alpha channel signs, it would be an idea to see if I could intertwine elements into the logos, similarly to the illustrations above.
