Flash Gordon logos reproductions

Vector recreation of various Flash Gordon logos from the 1980 film and also the ~1979 Filmation animated series. I had a lot of fun with this one, though I did set it aside for 6 months and only came back to it recently when I had the idea to make the video montage set to the Queen theme.

I'm honestly more of a Queen fan than a Flash Gordon fan, tho I do enjoy the film. I also watched the Filmation animated film and a bit of the series while making these, and I can definitely recommend watching the film. It's on YouTube.

Detail. Don't you hate it when the labels won't peel off?

I had a lot of fun putting together this video montage.

I also made this logo from the ~1979 Filmation animated series and movie. I spent a lot of time in Affinity Photo for this one, trying to capture how it looked in the opening titles.

I believe this art deco logo was used for an early teaser poster for the 1980 movie. I don't love it, but it was easy to reproduce, so…

The retro version of the 1980 logo as it appeared in the movie's opening titles. It's actually subtly different from the version seen on posters, so I ended up redrawing it completely. Such is my burden.
