Original Logo Drawing
Original Logo Drawing
The original Ghost logo hand-drawn by Tobias Forge, circa 2009.
"I was working at a call center for one of the well-known Scandinavian phone makers. Whilst handling calls, I was drawing this logotype. In order to get the shadowing done, I needed another copy of the original letters, so I paused the call I was on with a customer and went away to the copy machine and made a copy. So now I had one original and one copy.
I un-paused the call and placed the copy underneath the original paper, shadowed it, and then filled in the lines. You can see that the perspective of the logo is slightly skewed. Sixty percent of the left side is one angle, and the right side is a slightly different angle because I probably moved it a little. Somehow that made it look extra big, but that is a lucky coincidence.
But that's where I made it, at this call center in Linköping on calls." - Tobias Forge, 2023
