About Star Wars Logo

The image presented is a logo associated with the "Star Wars" franchise. This iconic logo typically consists of a stylized, block-like font that reads "STAR WARS". The letters are capitalized and often depicted in a bright, contrasting color, such as white or yellow, which can be silver or gold in some variations. The font has sharp, angular edges that give it a futuristic look, reminiscent of an outer space theme. There is a notable thickening at the top of each letter, giving the impression of perspective as if the text is receding into the background which is usually black or dark, signifying the vastness of space. This design choice reflects the opening crawl of the films, where the text similarly disappears into the horizon.

Star Wars Logo Information and History

The first official Star Wars logo was created by graphic designer Suzy Rice. Lucas wanted the title of the film to be intimidating, and she went with Helvetica Black. Despite its similarity with the Nazi typeface, the Star Wars logo has a legacy that extends beyond the Nazi era. It is a common misconception that Lucas' request for the fascist logo influenced the logo's design. However, this is not the case.

The logo has changed many times over the years, including with three trilogies, complicated titles, and decades between movies. The logo has changed to fit with the film franchise, so that it remains as iconic as ever. The first Star Wars logo was developed during the initial stages of production. Concept artist Ralph McQuarrie was responsible for developing the cinematic look of the film. His final logo is reminiscent of the original logo, but features a simpler design.

The original Star Wars logo was updated to reflect the new storyline, "A New Hope For the Galaxy". It was updated in 2008 to include a more detailed version of the Galactic Empire symbol. The design was inspired by the Japanese Tohokai, as well as the German Nazi and Japanese fascism. The original Star Wars logo remains prominently displayed at the top. Adding a metallic update enhances the Sci-Fi aesthetic. Similarly, the logo for the Phantom Menace is almost identical to the original Star Wars logo, featuring a collage effect with halos of light in the background.

The Phantom Menace logo is more contemporary and shinier than its predecessor. It emphasizes the episode name instead of the title, which is an effective design solution. Episode IV, V, and VI are chronological episodes in the series. The original trilogy was the first of three prequel films. The prequel trilogy followed in the late 90s. These prequels had different logos, but their designs remained the same. It is worth noting that the prequels differ in the way they incorporate elements from the original trilogy.

Basic Colors

We've taken a look at the image and pulled out some colors that are common across lots of logos. The colors below aren't the exact colors found in the image, but approximations to common colors.

Black

Advanced Colors

We've extracted the below 'advanced colors' from the logo. These should be much closer to the actual colors found in the logo. Our extractor tries to only take the main colors of the image and tries to ignore shading on anti-aliasing or shadows. This generally leads to better results, but in some circumstances you might find a few unusual colors being pulled from the logo.

Hex Colors

The below are the hex colors that are found in the logo. You can assume that these are the actual colors used in the logo. Our color extraction tool that takes the colors from the logo tries to ignore anti-aliasing and shadows, so you may sometimes find a slightly odd result, but this is rare. These colors should be very similar to the Advanced Colors, but you'll notice subtle differences. If you're interested in the exact color then use the hex, but if you're trying to describe the logo then use the Advanced Color or the Basic Color above.
