The whole is styled vaguely in the shape of a dragon, emphasized more by the red reptilian eye incorporated into the first letter. The original logo for Final Fantasy II is done in a colorful italic style: the writing is done in pale-purple fading into bright blue, the edges the letters are rimmed with gold, while the numerals are in a medium-to-light blue.

Square Enix likes to reflect colors from the logo art within the key art for example, the green and blue of the Final Fantasy VII Meteor logo are also reflected in the Mako energy and Lifestream that play crucial roles in the game, and in the tone of its key art. He has said that anything written in text builds and expands imagination, whereas visual assets to review or look at, would be "the end of it." Īfter Amano has drawn the logo art the actual logo is designed around it by the design team that chooses the color for the logo, among other aspects. As he is not a character designer, but an illustrator, there are more instances where he has worked off text received from the development team. Rather than receiving visuals, Amano creates the character illustrations from text-based information, like the age and the role they play. Because the title logo is monochrome to a certain degree, Amano illustrates the logo as a standalone piece of art. As the logo art is based around a central concept, not much of the important aspects would drift or change significantly even if the logo is created early in production.

Amano then interprets the information available and tries to incorporate it and create an illustration out of it. The games are in development when the logo requests are sent to Amano without much documentation to go by.
Final fantasy logo series#
The logo art for the main series games, and for many spin-offs and sequels, is by Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano who has been involved with the Final Fantasy series since its start. The font used for the title is Runic MT Condensed. The older games also received logos in the same style when they were re-released. Starting with Final Fantasy IV, all game logos feature the same basic layout. The logos for each Final Fantasy game have a similar style.
