Here's a bunch of logos and package designs from the StarStrikers universe. I've spent way too long on most of these relative to the amount they'll ever actually be used, and they don't really warrant that much discussion, so briefly:

- StarStrikers logo: The very eagle-eyed amongst you may notice that there's been a small typeface change here. The typeface used to be Serpentine, but that never sat right with me because I see it EVERYWHERE - there's a window-fitter's van down the road from my house that uses it, for cryin' out loud. The new typeface abandons the serifs and is spaced out for greater legibility.

- Serenade logo: This is a satire of my current employer's logo. The use of red and the shape of the musical note is designed to resemble a Darkspecter.

- Moritech logo: The 'M' is a typographical homage to IBM, and the crow is the Morrigan family bird. This took a couple of attempts to get right: originally the bird design was much more elaborate, the 'M' was italicized, the typography on 'MORITECH' was different... it was all over the place. It's much better now that it's been simplified.

- Bluey logo and cans: Pepsi has been extricated from the Strikerverse in favor of a parody counterpart (following in a grand tradition), it's more fun that way. Unfortunately I had went to the trouble of spoofing the current (07-08) Pepsi design right before they announced a drastic and not particularly well received total rebrand for next year, thus forcing me to come up with these mockups in a hurry. Initially I was going to render the cans myself, but then I realized it was easier to Photoshop the new designs PepsiCo generously posted on their Flickr page into my new design. Pictured: Bluey and Bluey Light. Not pictured: the ill-fated Bluey Light with Whortleberry, which much to Sylvia's chagrin was quickly discontinued.

Extreme Frosted Sugar Blast: This is even more obscure than Bluey-Cola, having been discussed at length between Corinne and her father during one particular chapter in StarStrikers: First Strike!. Apparently Extreme Frosted Sugar Blast takes breakfast cereals to their natural conclusion: it appears to be literally nothing but sugar. Its sugar bag mascot implores us to "RIDE THE SUGAR MOUNTAIN!", though he's still lacking a name. I'm open to suggestions.

Next up: the weapons gallery!

EDIT (02/12/08): Amended the Serenade logo into a more conventional musical note rather than the squat design I was using before. As a result the logotype has become a lot more compact.
