A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a brand manager sat with their team and developed a range of logo options for General Leia Organa and her closest advisors to try and create a unified image for what would become The Resistance. Everybody knew the logo would be crucial, as a great logo can make or break a good uprising, just as much as it can a company.
Eventually they settled on a simple, round orange shape with a hint of a royal crown. A great option – round things suggest unity and comfort, orange is warm and joyful, and the royalty of the leader of the Resistance was sure to inspire hope in its followers.
In all seriousness though, the Star Wars Saga has inspired several generations of moviegoers, and The Force Awakens is currently smashing it out of the park across the globe yet again. And this success has come before today's official release across the country with the World's second largest cinema audience, China. But if the rest of the world is anything to go by, it's destined to spiral to even greater heights.
