Among Us: Brand overview
Meaning and History
The classic Mafia and the science fiction movie The Thing inspired the video game. Parts were added gradually, with The Skeld being the first and The Airship being the last. Immediately after its launch in 2018, the game didn’t get enough attention. It appeared two years later—in 2020. The influx of popularity was facilitated by YouTube channel users, Twitch streamers, and, strangely enough, the COVID-19 pandemic.
After that came the positive reviews from critics, who praised Among Us for its setting and gameplay. There was also criticism – attributed to technical imperfections. In response, products based on the game appeared: t-shirts, toys, T-shirts, etc. A lot of internet memes also appeared, which in turn influenced the high popularity of the game.
What is Among Us?
Among Us is a computer game developed by InnerSloth. It was released in 2018 but only gained popularity two years later when internet users became addicted to it during the COVID-19 pandemic. Players control crew members aboard a spaceship and must determine which of them is an imposter.
The action takes place in space. Each player gets one of two roles – bad or good character. Most of them are crew members; the rest are imposters. The players’ goal is to identify the aliens, eliminate them, and complete the tasks indicated on the map. The impostors plan to secretly sabotage and eliminate crew members who fail to complete all tasks. Players suspected of being imposters are eliminated from the team by a majority vote of the team members. In addition, characters are important for identification because they are the only ones depicted in the logo.
The graphics represent the characters in the game. According to the rules, he can be either a team member or a disguised imposter. They are wearing protective suits and spacesuits. On the back is an oxygen tank for breathing. These elements are not detailed and unrealistic – they are depicted schematically, as if in outline. The character on the logo consists of three geometric figures outlined with a thick black line along the edge.
The largest oval forms the hull – it is positioned vertically. The smallest oval forms the viewport of the spacesuit – it is positioned horizontally. The middle semi-oval is on the back and replaces the balloon backpack. The glass hiding the face has a specific reflection: at the bottom, it is blue, then blue, and at the top – white, which gives the impression of a slight glare. The costume is bright, consisting of a combination of cherry and red colors.
In addition, there is textual symbolism – the name of the game. However, it can also be attributed to drawn elements because the font is personal, and the first letter in shape resembles the game’s hero. “A” is made in the form of a man in a spacesuit, protective suit, and with an oxygen tank on his back. The differences are in monochrome (the variant of the letter is black and white), in the presence of legs, and a flat sight glass (on the badge, it is convex).
The rest of the signs are elongated and thin as if written in bold felt-tip pen. In parallel, another name variant is outlined in white letters with a thin line. Everything else in them is completely the same.
