About Designing Springfield

- I'm a graphic designer - illustrator - cartoonist with a fondness for typography and a liking of the Simpsons. It seems only natural to put them together and have a little fun with the world of Springfield. It might also lead to paying work....

Globex Corporation
Hank Scorpio's world-dominating corporation was an ideal candidate for a refresh; the original was, once again, plain gothic type, with a globe replacing the O.
Given that world-dominating corporations usually try to present themselves as benign and friendly, I decided to go with environmentally-conscious blues and greens, which also helps to integrate the globe with the letters.
Fonts are Gill Sans, Extra Bold and Light. I decided to play up the arrow formed by the intersection of the E and X by filling it with the green from the globe.
I think it's as warm and fuzzy as any malevolent corporation bent on tyranny and evil.
