I dunno, it’s kinda futuristic, but it’s missing the faux 3d effect where it appears to have warped up close to you and left a trail of light behind it, like the Star Trek example of the end. Nothing says “future” like fake 3d effects.

FWIW, ST:TNG only used the faux 3D effect for the season that aired on the year of Star Trek’s 25th anniversary. Subsequent seasons reverted to the 2d text.

Missing The Terminator. Also applies to Wipeout, a game with some of my favorite logo and design work.

I like how the first like made the entire mobile browser go yellow, even the buttons. How did they do that?

I agree! A refreshing interlude to the cybersecurity postmortems and corporate layoff news.

Do we know who won those wars?

Had the other side won, we would know them as the Kem Wars.

From the result there, looks like each faction got to keep some terrain.

I kind of wish they had used something other than Eurostyle for the starting font in their example since it is already a font that has become associated with sci-fi.

Still a great article though! More of this please!

My first thought was "that's just the star trek font".

Ironically (I’m sure with intent). This looks super 80s.

Very tongue-in-cheek
