Ever since reading Angels & Demons, I have been intrigued by how ambigrams are created and presented. I came across Logo Design Love’s blog and they have a nice round-up of ambigram logos done in 2008. One of my favorites is mentioned in the comments section - the 20th anniversary logo for The Princess Bride. The logo and the background environment are integrated beautifully!
Before your favorite celebrities are shot on film, there is a whole team of artists who create the concept art and storyboards for these blockbuster flicks. Adam Brockbank is one of these minds and his work is gorgeous. He’s done character and setting visualizations for movies like Spiderman 2, Tomb Raider, Troy, Xmen, The Harry Potter series, and the list goes on.
Do yourself a favor and go watch Ironman. Not only is the movie extremely entertaining, but Prologue sets a new standard for end credit sequences with their colourful 80’s Tron-inspired wire frame models. Props to the motionographer mastermind Danny Yount.
