What is Back to Future?
Back to Future is the sci-fi franchise, which started in 1985 with the release of the first movie by Bob Gale. Today the franchise features three movies, a series of comics, cartoons, and video games, and is considered to be one of the world’s most popular science fiction brands ever.
As for the visual identity, the logo of the Back to the Future grand chose hasn’t changed much since the very first film, released in 1985. With each new part the iconic badge was only complemented by the indication of the series — “2” or “3”, and the main elements of the insignia were left untouched.
The very first Back to the Future badge was designed in 1985 and featured two-leveled lettering in a custom bold sans-serif. The inscription set in the uppercase was executed in a multicolor gradient; with the bodies of the letters starting from yellow at the bottom and getting orange at the top, and a bright blue outline of each element.
The upper level of the badge had a wide and large arrow pointing to the left placed at the right from the “Back” part of the logotype, repeating the shape and the angle in the letter “K”.
With the release of the Back to the Future 2 film, the new logo was introduced in 1989. The colors of the badge were intensified, with orange getting darker and brighter, and the thinner arrow with the blue “Part” was added to the composition. The new arrow was pointing to the right, on a massive “II”, executed in the same style as all other elements of the badge.
The third part of the trilogy was released in 1990 and had a separate logo. The colors on the badge were even darker than on the previous version, but that was actually the only difference, except for the “II” replaced by the “III” now, to indicate the Back to the Future 3 name of the movie.
