Modern Warfare is a gritty game about an American soldier, a British operative, and a woman leading a militia to protect her home in a fictional Arab country under attack by terrorists and corrupt Russian forces. The game depicts events through the eyes of these three main characters – atrocities against civilians, terrorist attacks, and scenes of torture and executions. It has a dynamic storyline with action-movie-level direction, where the player, in the role of high-class fighters, influences the global balance of power in the world, and carries out exciting secret operations as part of international special forces in Europe and the troubled Middle East. The focus is on players who avoid killing civilians by holding fire until it is determined whether the people are the real enemy or innocent. The game features both single-player and multiplayer modes.

The inscription has a light brown shadow, which hints at the sands of the Middle East. The name of the series is printed right underneath using a completely different font.

The green, white, and light gray colors have been preserved, connecting the two series. It was decided to make the franchise name significantly smaller, placing the focus on the “Modern Warfare” line. A bold, geometric font with straight and diagonal cuts is used for this line.  The number “2” is made extra-large and placed behind the end of the second line. It also features a bold, geometric design with stencil elements. This time, the characters look flat but have a light gray shadow that gives them some volume.

2011

The combination of dark gray and a unique shade of green conveys a sense of action and intensity. Both lines now have about the same font size. The top line features extra-wide characters that are very closely spaced.  For the second line, the designer went for the stencil-style font seen earlier as well as the use of thin horizontal lines to add texture and interest. It is worth noting that the name was shortened to “MW3”. The two letters overlap and have a thin diagonal line down the middle separating them. It created a compact and balanced overall appearance.

2019

Each iteration of the logo may have slight variations, but the core elements remain consistent, emphasizing the series’ identity. In this version, the company used two shades of gray and completely eliminated the green color. This move alone showed that this is not the next series but rather a sub-series. It used the full game name again and split “Modern Warfare” between two lines. The logo turned out strong and the light gray lines created an illusion of a mystery.

Font and Color

The color scheme usually incorporates dark tones, such as black, and gray. In the first three series, there are also different shades of green or white. These colors are closely related to military camouflage uniforms. Overall, the color palette does a perfect job of reflecting the game’s serious and tactical nature.

The “Call of Duty” line can be replicated using Call of Ops Duty Regular font or slightly modifying the horizontal bar in the letter “A” in Impact 2010 WGL font. For the “Modern Warfare” line, MicroSquare Bold Extended by FontSite Inc. or a similar font can be used.
