Visual Analysis of the Wipeout logo designed by tDR – A Design Post

image

The Wipeout logo was designed by The Designers Republic in 1995, a landmark icon in Y2K graphic design. Upon looking at the design closely, one can notice these letters are actually made from partial 8 glyphs. Below are the overlays of the Wipeout logo with Eurostile’s 8 glyph.

Why the repeating 8s? In an LCD screen, all numerals in a 7-segment display are created with the 8 numeral.

Why the ‘ and “ marks? They denotate the minutes and seconds used in racing and implies speed.

And finally, why is the typography set in Eurostile? Eurostile, and its look-a-like Microgramma, has been established in the sci-fi canon since the late 60s as a symbol of futurism, as seen in user interfaces, signage, and in interiors. This makes it a perfect fit for the futuristic world of Wipeout.

I contacted Ian Anderson, the lead designer of tDR, and he confirmed my observations.

Successful design is always intentional. Every decision here made in the Wipeout logo has a logical connection back to racing, and within the in-game universe of Wipeout. This teaches us a lesson to always make sure your design decisions hold weight.
