Logo Design

There are many familiar logos in the world of entertainment. There are many you can see by turning on the TV. For Example there's the Eastenders Logo. It has survived several redesigns of the title sequence.

The Original Titles with the Original Logo

The 2009 Title Sequence with the same Logo as the Original

Another example is Doctor Who. With each change of the main actor the series title sequence was also changed.

1963-1964
William Hartnell's Era and the First Season of Patrick Troughton's.


1973-1979
The Last Year of Jon Pertwee's Era and the majority of Tom Baker's Era
It also featured the iconic Diamond Logo.


2005-2010
Christopher Eccelstone's Era and with minor modifications, David Tenant's Era

So when I came up with the Logo for Earth I didn't really think about the context it would appear in. I came up with the logo by looking through the list of fonts that my current computer at the time originally had and I picked the best one that I thought was the best.

At the time I created it I had no idea about how it would look with a little artistic flare. Insomnia is a good time to be creative. Not only do you come up with a good idea it also makes you tired.


This is is the final article. It will appear with the three different formats that I intend to tell the story. Hopefully there will be a title sequence later where the Logo will fit in.

The Writing Process - Part One

In this segment I'll be looking at what inspired me to write.

With Earth, I don't really recall where I got the idea from. It just popped into my head like most other writers such as Douglas Adams and his drunken thoughts in a field in Amsterdam wondering if anyone was going to write about a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and J. K. Rowling and while being stuck on a train got the idea about Harry Potter and not having a pen and some paper to write the whole idea down.

My Idea came from nowhere and I began to write. As it began it started out overblown and far to big for a simple radio station. The cast list was huge and the ideas that I had couldn't be done properly on radio.

So I began to rewrite this single episode and began to expand it. I took an example from J. Michael Strazinski's Babylon 5. Where a long complex story was told over a Five Year bridge. I had wanted to expand Earth from a single episode into a Six-Part-Series.

As I expanded the story I believe I went too far. The Current plan for Earth will be explained later but I will do into detail about what happened when I added a few more seasons to a story that had apparently finished several stories ago.

Next time I'll talk more about the making of the first episode of Earth and possibly some artwork.
