2008 – Today
The Breaking Bad logo, designed in 2008, hasn’t been changed during the whole five-years period. This badge can pretty much be considered is conic in its simplicity and strictness. The logo is composed of a two-leveled inscription in dark blue, with the “Br” in “Breaking” and the “Ba” in “Bad” stylized as the cells from the Periodic Table of Mendeleev, standing for “Bromine” and “Barium” respectively. Those two elements are set in white in gradient green squares, set in the same typeface as the other characters of the wordmark, but with straighter cuts of the bars.
Font and color
The elegant and traditional lettering from the primary logo of Breaking Nad is set in a smooth serif typeface, with the “Br” and “Ba” parts more geometric and distinctive. The closest fonts to the one, used in this insignia, are, probably, Cooper BT Medium, or Cream Medium, but with some modifications of the contours.
As for the color palette of the Breaking Bad visual identity, it is based in green and white, where green is the symbol of live and motion, and white — a representation of loyalty. It is not very obvious, what these cheerful and graceful colors have to do with the drug-medaling plot of the series, but Breaking Bad is a series not only about drugs and vices, but also about peoples’ relationships.
