# foundation-logo

A font containing the specific design of letters used for the Foundation logo, in the Apple TV+ series based on the Isaac Asimov books.

Since, by definition, only the seven letters used in the word ”Foundation“ comprise the glyphset of the logo, all the other characters, numbers, symbols and punctuation are conjectures.

One surprising aspect of the Foundation logo, is that the Apple TV+ series has used two different logos:

<img src=logos/Foundation_Logo_version_w_dotted_O.jpg alt=The Foundation logo used in episode 1, with a dot above each 'O'” title=The Foundation logo used in episode 1, with a dot above each ‘O’”>
<img src="logos/Foundation_Logo_version_w_dotted_O.jpg" alt="The Foundation logo used in episode 1, with a dot above each O" title="The Foundation logo used in episode 1, with a dot above each O">

<img src=logos/Foundation_Logo_version_w_undotted_O.jpg alt=An alternate version of the Foundation logo, with different 'F,' 'A' and 'N' designs and no dot for the ‘O’” title=An alternate version of the Foundation logo, with different ‘F,’ ‘A’ and ‘N’ designs and no dot for the ‘O’”>
<img src="logos/Foundation_Logo_version_w_undotted_O.jpg" alt="An alternate version of the Foundation logo, with different F, A and N designs and no dot for the O" title="An alternate version of the Foundation logo, with different F, A and N designs and no dot for the Os">

And beyond that, the type design used in the title sequence is also used, when “Previously on Foundation” is announced.

logos:
<img src="logos/Foundation_Logo_previously_on_foundation.jpg" alt="Seen each week at episode beginning, 'Previously on Foundation' using characters that form the basis of the Foundation One and Foundation Titles fonts" title= "Seen each week at episode beginning, 'Previously on Foundation' using characters that form the basis of the Foundation One and Foundation Titles fonts">

<img src=“logos/Foundation_Logo_previously_on_foundation.jpg” alt=“Seen each week at episode beginning, 'Previously on Foundation' using characters that form the basis of the Foundation One and Foundation Titles fonts” title=“Seen each week at episode beginning, ‘Previously on Foundation’ using characters that form the basis of the Foundation One and Foundation Titles fonts”>
The characters used in “Foundation” in this image form the basis of the <a href="https://github.com/rsperberg/foundation-titles-hand" title="Jump to Foundation Titles repo">Foundation Titles</a> font and the other text is the basis for the <a href="https://github.com/rsperberg/foundation-one" title="Jump to Foundation Titles repo">Foundation One</a> font, both OFL-licensed and both here on Github.
