Avatar Logo

Avatar Logo PNG

The Avatar logo is soaring and fantastic. It hints at a unique world of a celestial planet, where lightness and beauty reign. The emblem’s symbols encode a dream of a similarly caring attitude towards Earth by its inhabitants.

Meaning and History

Despite the general title, each logo is tied to its own history. What unites them is a franchise based on a series of Avatar movies, signed by James Cameron with 20th Century Fox, with plans to produce three films. The first part came out in 2009. The second and third were planned for 2014 and 2015 but were delayed. Then a third sequel was announced. In 2016, it was announced that there would be four sequels, all to be filmed simultaneously. The logos presented represent the first two stories: original and draft versions.

What is Avatar?

A fantastic five-part franchise, screened by 20th Century Fox. The idea was born in 1995 but waited until the film industry had developed enough to provide the necessary special effects. The franchise tells about life and events on the distant planet Pandora. Critics and audiences highly rate the first two parts. The first part grossed $2.8 billion at the box office and won 3 Oscars out of 9 nominations.

2009

The first emblem – the movie title in blue capital letters with the director’s name in thin lettering on top.

The name Avatar is taken from Hindu mythology. This is what they called the physical incarnation of a deity. From this came the idea of the possibility of a person’s consciousness moving to another body. The astounding connection of the inhabitants with the planet and other creatures makes them kind of “gods.” A people who have achieved much greater development than earthlings.

The palette of the emblem’s letters conveys the unusual shade of the Na’vi body. Sacred Hindu texts inspire the blue skin color of the planet’s inhabitants. Representatives of the Indian pantheon are blue, hinting at the color of their aura. Another reason is the dream of the screenwriter’s mother, in which she saw a huge blue woman. Cameron decided that the connection of aliens, size, and blue color blends very well. At the same time, it vaguely hints at Hinduism.

Such a connection between the name and appearance is the result of the director and screenwriter’s interest in the culture and religion of India.

A slight roughness of the letters makes the inscription more natural and organic, reflecting the extraordinary flora and fauna of Pandora. Hence the asymmetry of the glyphs in the first and last symbols. The elongation of the sticks is similar to the contact tails of the planet’s inhabitants, through which they sense all beings. Their appearance in the first and last letter speaks of the openness of the Na’vi and their readiness to get acquainted with the viewer.

2016 – today

In 2016, shooting for the long-awaited second part was planned to start. Most likely, the appearance of a new logo is tied to this event. The trial sign consisted of a black capital letter with a black dragonbird rising in the center.

Both images have elements indicating an unusual world. Roots are depicted at the bottom of the glyphs A as a symbol of trees. Winged birds, which the inhabitants of the planet fly on, have tails for connection. The animal in the drawing plays the role of crossbar A.

The bird, reminiscent of a stork, and the trees with roots hint at procreation and family. The main characters of the second part are raising children, and the events of the picture concern the family.

The black color of the emblem indicates a draft version.

2018

In 2018, the image acquired a shade inherent in the skin of Pandora’s inhabitants, and the capital A is supplemented with the rest of the inscription. The elements of the name resemble the font of the first part’s emblem, but they are bolder. Each symbol gets serifs. The method shows a deeper immersion in the life of the planet and acquaintance with its inhabitants.

2022

The final version of the logo appears. The color scheme of the inscription changes, conveying the idea of the water element. A significant part of the movie takes place underwater, with the water tribe. To save his family, the protagonist seeks refuge and blends into the life of the coastal Na’vi.

The logo uses the full title, finally selected from among many drafts. Therefore, following the word Avatar is a more delicate font inscription: The Way of Water.

The bird reflects the theme of family and migration. The heroes have left their native lands and set out in search of a new home.

At the top, as in the first emblem, is the name of the director and screenwriter of the movie.

Font and Colors

The blue-cyan gradient of the inscription embodies:

• The water element.
• The film has many scenes of flights and battles with dragons.
• The change of shades from dark at the bottom to light at the top reflects the spiritual growth of Na’vi and the children of the main characters. Self-knowledge, getting closer to mother nature.
• The thickness of the water from the dark depths to the light surface.

The font of the title is unique. Each symbol resonates with the theme of nature. The smoother upper glyphs hint at the smooth surface of the water.
