It might be Friday the 13th, but over the past 48 hours EpisodeIX.org has been going through the major changes we had in store for it from the beginning, finally bringing it inline with where we wanted it to be.\u00a0 This includes unveiling our logo!\u00a0 Read on to learn more about it, and what we’ve been up to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The design of our logo is meant to symbolize a few things. First, the leading forward slash is meant to represent the alternate nature of this story.\u00a0 Our Unofficial Radio Drama is a deviation in the Star Wars mythos, a story that follows after the events of Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, but exists in a world where the upcoming, official Episode IX does not exist.\u00a0 That’s not to say we harbor any ill will towards Disney and Lucasfilm’s Episode IX, of course; at this point we don’t even know what it’s about so how could we!\u00a0 It’s just an simple, elegant way to state that our little Episode IX Radio Drama is an alternate take offering a different way that the Skywalker Saga could have ended.<\/p>\n
The “IX” portion of the logo is quite obvious I’m sure, being the Roman numeration for the number 9, but the design (paired with the forward slash) is meant to invoke both the crackly, static nature of old radio transmissions, as well as the light side of the Force through it’s blue hues.\u00a0 Put all of these elements together and you’ve got a clean, yet clearly messaged design representing what it is we’re all about.\u00a0 We really dig it, and we hope you enjoy our logo as much as we do.<\/p>\n
