The Hunger Games is a film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’s novels about a teenage girl named Katniss Everdeen who becomes a participant in a deadly show. It is also a story about the struggle for power, class division, and the most fiery-cool outfits in the arena. The first film immediately attracted both haters and devoted fans. As the story develops, Katniss becomes an unofficial symbol of resistance among the people of the districts of Panem, who for the first time in their existence decide to openly fight for freedom and save themselves. The series has had a significant cultural impact and remains a relevant exploration of themes related to power, resistance, and the human condition in the face of oppression.
Meaning and History
The success of the novels written by Suzanne Collins led to a film adaptation series produced by Lionsgate. It began with “The Hunger Games” in 2012, followed by “Catching Fire” (2013) and two parts of “Mockingjay” (2014 and 2015). The films were well-received and contributed to the global popularity of the franchise. In 2020, Collins published a prequel novel titled “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.” Since the release of the first film, the franchise has remained a symbol of the “teen dystopia” category and became the beginning of the boom of this genre.
What is Hunger Games?

Novel Series
2008, 2013
This logo represents the original book. It features a distinctive image of a mockingjay in the center with an arrow in its beak. It is a fictional bird that symbolizes rebellion and freedom within the story. The bird is depicted in front of a target ring. The fact that it caught the arrow shows that in the story, the rebels go against the rules and represents the idea of resistance against oppression. The whole logo is done in a golden color palette, which enhances its fictional imagery.
2009
The second book portrays the mockingjay in front of a ring that is set on fire. It still holds the arrow in its beak. The fire shows that the “Hunger Games” get even more dangerous and the rebels get even stronger. There is also more detail and dimension in this version.
2010
The key elements have been preserved. However, there were a few significant modifications. First of all, the color palette has been changed to sky blue and white. This alone creates a sense of relief and freedom. In addition, the bird has its wings spread and is now flying up rather than looking down.
2012
In the logo for the movie, there is no mockingjay bird. However, the designer was able to draw a connection using golden and yellow shades that were featured in the book’s logo. The film’s name is printed on two lines with the top line holding the article and the second line spalling out “Hunger Games. The use of a gradient that got lighter towards the center created the illusion of a target that was seen in the logo of the books. A bold, geometric font choice emphasized the key themes covered by the writer.
2013
The new logo features a similar design to the first one created for the film series. The top line now has “The Hunger Games” printed in exactly the same way as seen a year earlier. On the second line, they added the name of the second series. “Catching Fire” is done in a rather light, white, and light gray color palette. It not only hinted at the cold season but also created a drastic contrast between the two lines.
2014
For the final series, it was decided to use the same font for both lines as well as the added third line. The third line specified that it was the first part of the third series. The overall design is both striking and symbolic, capturing the essence of the story’s fight against tyranny and the quest for freedom.
2015
The logo featured an almost identical design for the second part. The designer changed only the color palette. It was made slightly lighter and no longer had a gradient. This showed that the story had a good ending. The fact that the company stayed pretty consistent with the design of the film logos allowed them to create a cohesive big picture.
Font and Color
The first two books feature a golden or yellow color, contrasting against a darker background, which emphasizes its significance as a symbol of hope and resistance. It can also be seen as a symbol of wealth that the Capitol enjoyed. There is also red in the logo for the second book, which stands for rebellion and struggle. The third book had a white and sky-blue color palette, standing for the acquired freedom and triumph. The golden and yellow color palette of the film series not only connects it to the novels but also perfectly reflects the struggles faced by the characters.
Every film logo used the same geometric sans-serif font with a modern and clean design. The characters have straight lines and sharp angles, giving it a futuristic feel. It resembles Morris Sans Std Medium font and Bank Gothic Medium font. The book logos did not have any inscriptions.
