Meaning and history

The Portal 2 visual identity is composed of a strict wordmark with a playful graphical element, which makes the logo recognizable and shows the game’s individuality.
The Portal 2 wordmark in all capital letters is executed in a bold straight sans-serif typeface. The number “2” has its lines thickened, emphasizing on the new game chapter.
The Portal 2 emblem features a vertical line, placed after the wordmark, and half of the human figure, coming out of it, like the man coming out of the portal.
The Extended version of the Portal 2 visual identity also has a left part, placed before the first “P” of the nameplate. The left hand and running legs of the person are drawn on it.
The gray-white and blue color palette of the Portal 2 logo is simple and minimalist, yet evokes a sense of professionalism and authority and makes people want to check what the game is about.
The Portal 2 logo is funny and playful despite the strict wordmark set up. It is per-fectly balanced and looks good on any placement.
