Cyberpunk 2077 is the name of an adventure RPG created by CD Projekt Red in 202. The game is set in the metropolis of Knight City, where power, luxury, and body modifications are valued above all else. You play as V, a mercenary in search of a device that allows you to gain immortality. You’ll be able to change your character’s cyber implants, skills and playstyle as you explore an open world where your actions affect the course of the story and everything around you.
Cyberpunk 2077 was created at the intersection of genres. A full-fledged RPG with classes, a choice of hero backstory, ramified dialogues, role-playing, and high passing variability. Combat system combines elements of shooter, action, stealth, allows to hack into computer systems and implants of enemies. Single-player, with a strong emphasis on storytelling, with constant interactive insertions on the engine and elements of interactive cinema.
The public got to know about the start of work on the game based on the “Cyberpunk” in 2012. The full announcement took place at E3 2018, it was reported that Cyberpunk 2077 would definitely be released before the arrival of the ninth-generation consoles. The original release date was April 16, 2020.
As developers have progressed from a prototype to a full-fledged game, there has been conflicting information about Cyberpunk 2077. For example, the CD Project dropped the psychological gender, offering classic male and female body types and voice acting. First and third-person views were promised, but only the first-person view was left.
The character class system was simpler than in the board game, although it was promised to be on par. The game was expected to be single-player only, but later the developers concluded that multiplayer is possible and even necessary.
The pre-launch visual identity of Cyberpunk 2077 was a bit darker and brighter than the logo we can see today. It was the same style and palette, but with the acid-yellow logotype shadower and outlined in gray. The letters themselves also had some darker accents on their yellow bodies. As for the “2077” tagline, it still used a turquoise blue shade, but with gradient tones, which we’re getting more green to the right, mixing with the yellow from the upper level of the logo.
The visual identity of this exciting game is based on a two-leveled inscription, which can be placed whether on a plain (white or black), or colorful (in most cases yellow) background, or on the detailed image of the game’s main character and scenes.
The lettering is executed in a custom typeface and is drawn in one of the following schemes: yellow and blue, black and blue, or pink and blue. The bottom line of the inscription is for the “2077”, the datemark, which is drawn in thin sharp lines, in neon blue.
Cyberpunk 2077 uses three main options of color palette for its visual identity, though two of them are based on the combination of neon shades of yellow and blue, accompanied with black or white, while the third logo version featured a plain black background and a gradient contoured inscription in pink and blue.
Whatever the choice of colors (out of three) is, the logo looks extremely cool and futuristic. Reflecting dynamics, technologies, and masculinity (yes, even in a blue and pink palette).
As for the typeface of the Cyberpunk 2077 logo, it is a cool hand-written style with slightly slanted letters, thick lines, and angular shapes. The elongated tails of some letters have softened ends, and the whole inscription looks as if it was written with a thick felt-tip pen, and after contoured with a thin gel one, in a contrasting color.
Cyberpunk 2077 has two main styles used for the icon. The first one repeats the official logo, with the lettering and “2077” tagline placed on a plain background. For the icon yellow color becomes the main, and is used for the hexagon on the background. The upper line is drawn in black, and the digits — in neon blue.
Another possibility is a rounded emblem with a detailed image of a character holding a gun, placed on a circular yellow background and enclosed into a thick black frame. The lettering on this version is set on the bottom and executed in a yellow and blue scheme.
