Communication in a separate virtual world offers the VRChat logo. The emblem promises contact with other users inside an artificially created reality. Within its limits, everyone can look as they wish and say what they want.
VRChat is an ambitious project that was launched in 2014. It allows gamers to create their avatars and spend time in virtual worlds. To control a 3D character model, you can use the HTC Vive Tracker peripherals (capture the movement of the legs and lower back) and the Oculus Touch and Index Controller (recognize gestures by the position of the fingers). The game supports many VR accessories and headsets, though it can also run in desktop mode, where none of this is required.
This is not just a video game but a whole social network designed for user interaction. And its whole point comes down to changing rooms and avatars. On the other hand, the ability to generate your mini-worlds and experiment with the characters’ appearance makes VRChat a place of surrealism and anarchy.
The game creator is VRChat Inc. Its co-founders are programmer Graham Gaylor (now CEO) and designer Jesse Joudrey. They have embodied their passion for modern technology in an innovative project expressed in virtual avatars and instanced worlds.
The online platform continues to evolve. The developers have simplified the animation process for movements and added new features to enable gamers to achieve improved control over a three-dimensional character.
Meaning and History
The VRChat logo looks like a callout, a graphical means of expressing speech. The cloud with text illustrates the main purpose of the online platform: acquaintance and communication. The logo appeared at the very beginning when VRChat was released for Microsoft Windows. Such stability of the identity makes the company and its game recognizable all over the world.
What is VRChat?
VRChat is an Online platform that lets users communicate through their created worlds and avatars. It is compatible with most virtual reality devices. However, it is also suitable for maintaining contacts in standard mode. The web resource was developed by Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey, who first launched it in 2014.
2014 – 2016
The logo consisted of a horizontal rectangle with even 90-degree corners and a black border. But it was not just a background for the name, but a dialogue cloud, as evidenced by the downward-pointing ledge. Inside was another rectangle, a smaller one painted black. It was on it that the main inscription was placed: it denoted not only the name of the Internet service but also its type, a chat, that is, a resource for user communication. The addition of “vr” looked unusual because the first letter was shaped like a “U,” and the second looked like an inverted “L.” Such a “disguise” is because this is a platform for contacting avatars in an unreal world.
2016 – today
The emblem is shaped like a rectangular text balloon with rounded corners and a triangle at the bottom-right corner. This graphic element contains the inscription “VRCHAT,” which is visually divided into two parts: the letters “VR” are on the left on a white background, and the word “CHAT” is on the right inside a black rectangle.
The dialogue balloon, in this case, serves a double function. First, it focuses on the game’s name: all geometric shapes are used as a decorative frame for the text. Secondly, the dialogue cloud symbolizes the process of communication in virtual reality, where direct speech is transmitted in writing.
Font and Colors
To make the lettering compatible with other logo elements, the designers chose a font from the Dosi family. Rounded corners, no serifs, and uniform line thickness characterize it. This makes the name of the online platform look great, surrounded by rectangles. And the Bold style makes it clear and expressive. Argentine typographer Pablo Impallari created this typeface in collaboration with Edgar Tolentino.
Simple geometric shapes and unpretentious typefaces are combined with a minimalistic palette. The designers chose the classic version – a black and white color scheme. The monochrome image emphasizes the game’s originality and helps you avoid being distracted by minor details. Also, the combination of dark and light elements creates the necessary contrast, making the logo memorable.
