2019 – Today
The logo consists of a stylized inscription. The name is split between the two lines. The top line is the “good” line with a halo above the first “O”, which has been slightly made smaller to create a balanced look. The other word, on the other hand, has a devil hook added to the “M”. The word has two letters that are smaller than the rest. The designer did a great job showing that the series has both good and evil characters. The design is simple but it has plenty of meaning behind it.
Font and Color
The color palette can be seen as a neutral choice. However, black is also often associated with evil things. It is often associated with Satan, which is quite applicable to the series’ theme. At the same time, the inscription is placed on a white base, which can stand for the good balancing out the bad.
The font choice made this logo look unique and perfectly reflected the spirit of the TV series. The typeface is obviously a custom one, but it has a lot in common with the Schola Serif Regular font.
