Who put Rebel Alliance and House Atreides in there? Terrible lack of focus, turns it from an interesting study into a random list of stuff from fantasy worlds people like to ramble about.
- boomboomsubban 3y ago>The term fictional branding refers to the design and use of brands that do not refer to any service, product, company or organization that actually exists. They can come to include any type of brand, as well as political institutions, military organizations, and more. https://fictionalbrandsarchive.com/research.html https://fictionalbrandsarchive.com/research.html
- JasonFruit 3y agoYes, it's a part of the plan, but the point still stands: it dilutes what could have been a focused, interesting collection.
- boomboomsubban 3y agoYou can set the filter to "private" and get your focused collection. Or somebody interested in fictional political brands can filter by political and get their focused collection.
- usrusr 3y agoI don't disagree with the observation that fantasy entities like rebel alliance and the empire they are rebelling against are built using many of the same mechanisms brands are built with, and with similar goals (recognizability). But it's still ruining the focus of that list. Why not include dwarves? Or Robin Hood's merry men? If it was "fictional logos", those star wars flags might have their place, but Atreides? Yeah, supposedly there's a falcon on their coat of arms, but I couldn't tell if that particular form is from the most recent movie, from a game or some fan art. And it's been only a few weeks since I've seen that movie, there can't be much visual brand going on if I don't recognize.
