Awesome corporations. Best of these will be seen on the film, so hold tight!
Iron Sky is set in the near future – 2018, to be exact. A lot of things have changed here on Earth, but mainly everything stays the same on the outside – just like ten years ago compared to present day.
Being a fiction film, one of the things we can’t use in Iron Sky is real corporations and corporate logoes (unless, of course, they give us millions and buy an intrusive product placement, preferably company tagline installed into the dialogue).
This task is all about making up new corporations. Here’s how it works: make up a believeable name for a corporation. It can be a corporation of any kind, just as long as it’s big, and add a short description along with the corporation name you came up with, like what type of a company this would be.
And don’t forget: it can be comedic, but preferably it’s more than just changing one letter to another or making up a dirty word – be creative.
Ps. If you feel graphically creative as well, you may add the company logo to the description (a rough sketch will do), but we have another task coming right after this one focused on creating the logoes for the companies.
Off you go, show me what you got!
That's not a typo, I mean SPORTS AIR. It comes in a compressed bottle and you are duped by marketing into buying and breathing it when doing sporty things. It's just city air with some flavour. They could make a special military grade air that might be present somewhere, or just promoted.
I was reminded of this chestnut by Luca's Atmosphere.
I think Hervanta could be a great international company name. It's a nonsense name (like Yamaha) so nobody knows exactly what it means. That way its products can be almost everything (like Yamaha: from trombones to motorbikes) . I'd like to hear from someone who doesn't know what Hervanta really is (do we have anyone here on board?) and say what a company with that name could manufacture.
Here's a logo suggestion for Jalmari Raippalinn's idea of a corporation you can sell yourself completely to. http://www.wreckamovie.com/shots/show/45
The logo's PRETTY bleak, but kinda cool at the same time.
I really wish PDF files would show as thumbnails.. Vector is the way to go with logos, and now i have to post both PDF and JPG files so you guys can have an instant preview.
Google does everything... and has adwords on everything too!
You need a google account to enter your house (you don''t enter your house - you log into it).
An using a combination of google voice and google translate everyone can talk to each other in their own languages despite speaking different languages.
Apple is now making super designed spaceships for the military... they are minimalistic, stylish and never crash... oh, and its has a big glowing apple on its arse!
A company which made a Gew clones for a household help, like:
Washing dishes (Dishwashers are still inaccurate devices)
Dust cleaning (Rainbow is still too expensive)
Wallpainting (because when Boss wakes up in the morning, he is often really mad when he see walls with same colour as yesterday)
Human TV remote controller (just say: switch to RTL, now to SKY, now to...)
Washing the Boss (because Boss is working as chimney-sweeper)
Reading newspapers aloud to the Boss when he is lunching
and so on...

"Fantome."
The Nazi Soft-Drink-- produced & distributed by the shady VrilCo, apparatus to the underground (literally & figuratively) Vril Society.

It's basically a fusion of the big fast food companies. The Logo would be a Gorilla (a bit like Donkey Kong) holding a giant burger in his hands.
Sadly my poor drawing Skills do not allow me to make a logo right now ;)

Why oh why does this remind me of bottled water?
(What about EVIAIR, spinoff of EVIAN? Or PerriAir, variant of Perrier? Or OzAIRka? Branching from selling overpriced water to selling overpriced air is fairly natural.)
(This could lead to an affair, when consumer testing lab discovered traces of molecules, or isotopic signatures, showing the air was filtered from New York City area instead of some posh region. Could be used in a news ticker on some screen.)
Regarding oxygen, back when I was at school, during chem tech labs we used to sniff pure oxygen from the bottle for the bomb calorimeter. Cleared the head nicely.
As a minor detail, medical oxygen has a little carbon dioxide added for stimulation of breathing. Human body is not sensitive to level of oxygen in blood, but only to level of carbon dioxide. (Hence the danger of hypoxia sneaking in undetected.)
That's what I was getting at Timo!
Not a bottle of air with usefully enriched oxygen, but a bottle of ordinary compressed air that just smells good, or like it's good for you. The breathing equivalent of an extreme energy bar made from chinese newspapers (as seen in The Simpsons I think), whereas Oxia is more of an exotic museli bar.
I would shop a bottle of it but frankly it'd be easier to build one in my shed than learn to make the gimp to what I want. I miss Photoshop.
Damn!! That was a real product i mentioned in below post!! Real world again surpasses the imagination:
http://www.oxia.com/
"Your Oxia™ Personal Oxygen dispenser contains approximately 6 to 8 Gallons (23 to 42 metric litres) of compressed oxygen-enriched air, made up of 90% Oxygen (O2) and 10% Nitrogen (N2).
The oxygen-enriched air contained in your Oxia™ Personal Oxygen dispenser is completely free of any contaminants or pollutants found in normal atmospheric air and polluted environments.
Every Oxia™ Personal Oxygen dispenser is filled by a professionally-trained technician in an Oxia™ controlled facility to ensure its contents are exactly as specified, and free from any contaminants and pollutants.
As an added safety mechanism, your Oxia™ Personal Oxygen dispenser also contains an internal 60 micron particle filter.
Personal oxygen already features in Lukas Moodyson's "Mammoth".
The main character (Gael Garciel Bernal) persofinies the gap between the richest and the poorest of the world by looking out on the polluted haze of Bangkok while sucking on personal oxygen in the penthouse of a 5 star hotel.
The bottle looked like a tiny diver's tank with a shawing cream bottle's mouthpiece. Sorry I couldn't find a screenshot with it.
Great idea! I'm already picturing people jogging in the intoxicated New York streets with Swine Flu -style masks on, and a small colorful bottle on their side of POWERAIRE, giving them a feeling of jogging in the countryside - flavors could be:
* ALASKAN AIRE
* PINE FOREST AIRE
* SEASIDE AIRE
Anybody wanna design a bottle of Poweraire? It could be something small, like the size of a small Coke bottle, with one small cute tube from it connected to the mask.
