Media_httpwwwmentalfl_ztiep

You know the characters, but you might not know their full names. Store these away for future trivia nights.

2. Barbie’s full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts. (Ken’s last name is Carson.)

20 Fictional Logo Designs for Your Inspiration

Media_httpwebtoolfeed_zvjcd

Movies have always been a source of inspiration for designers, artists and other creative thinkers. From the beginning till the end, a good movie offers a variety of content which is really helpful if we want to grab something out of it instead of just watching it and then back to our work after it is over.

As I am a big movie lover, I watch lots and lots of movie in my free time, but as active viewer having a small notepad or a piece of paper noting down all the important and useful facts that I watch in it: like new ideas, concepts, gadgets, unique designs etc.

Here in this article I am sharing with you some of the fictional logos which are collected and recreated me as a part of my small project named “Fictgo”.

Surely, we cannot change the reality, but we can try making this in the cyber world. Image manipulation at Photoshop is one of the ways to do so.

After the launch of CS5, Photoshop gives digital artists and designers even more tools to manipulate images and create the most futuristic and unusual visual effects. We have gathered some of the works to illustrate what can be done with images and how far human imagination can fly. These pictures do not work only as a manifestation of high capabilities of modern image editing applications, like Photoshop, but they are also very inspirational and motivational themselves.
