I've been putting together the History of UP section for UP3's pre-launch frontpage.

Unfortunately I lost all my old Behaviour Group stuff long ago, and Goffy's nowhere to be seen. So I set out to recreate each of the three logos used...

The first was luckily just plain text.

The second was one of Mark's works... It took me ages to find the font.

The third is the STZ logo... The recreation isn't bad considering my reference point was a 120x100k anigif.

Can anyone point out any inconsistencies?

Me likes the logo. Might I inquire as to what fonts you used for the type?

And any other place that never bothered to separate itself from the British Empire... :-)

Anyway, I've never even seen that first logo before. By the time I came along, the name had already lost its obsession, but I don't know if the blue glowy logo was around. Wasn't there (at least) another one in between? Or maybe the blue one was already around... Hm...

Sheesh! Of course it's a joke! I know that "behaviour" is the non-American spelling of the word. I just couldn't resist, remembering the few times people tried to say there was only one spelling, and that wasn't it!

Aban: Which logo? The first is "Earth", the second is "Liddie"... The original logo by MarkyK probably used a different font, but Liddie is close enough.

TSN: There was probably a BG logo based on the OB logo, and I know there was one based on what I did for the Soapbox... The blue one was put into use a bit before the STZ launched.
