Find the hidden Firaxis logo

[Thormodr]

Cool thread. Thanks for making this.

i think that most of the time the logo isn't visible to the player but still somwhere on the model. Like a Firaxis-swirl on the cape of Harald, but since he never turns around and shows his cape, we'll never see it!

Harald could also have the logo hidden on the golden "round things" on his leather armguards, especially on the larger one.

Maybe it is on his helmet instead. He puts it on only at war time.

Also, it would be cool if an artist put it on as a hidden tattoo or, let's say as the logo of their underwear , when they were designing it. It doesn't necessarily have to be visible, but the artist and Firaxis know they are there. Also, it could be in the reflection in their eyes. It won't be the first time something reflected in the eyes was meaningful. Hint: a governor showcased not too long ago.

That's possible, but why would the artist decide to make them larger on the DLC leaders if the logo was completely hidden for some of the leaders? It sounded like they were expecting us to find the logo.

Oh now I cannot unsee these hidden logos.

Cool.

Proof the ancient whirlwind symbol is such a universal symbol; Firaxis would later adopt that symbol.

I think Ghandhi logo is on the glasses.

It is my professional opinion that Firaxis has trust and confidence issues so it likes to play with people's minds leaving hints here and there, but very rarely being straightforward about things, unless it serves its purpose (plenty of examples for this). It just loves to tease to makes itself interesting, but then is afraid of being abandoned so it reveals itself from time to time. It really gets a kick out of it. It definitely is an introvert, cautious and yet consistent, challenging, but detached, definitely reserved and organized (structured). So, there you go, it not only do expect us to find the logos, but it depends on it, and possibly to even invent where they possibly could be. Right now, they are amused, but again, cautiously and very insecurely amused.

I'm getting conspiracy theory vibes from this thread.

I'm pretty sure Gilgamesh's is in his bread

Watch the logo be hidden in someone’s hair or something lol.

Well, Giskler is on the case and he is a 3rd level spy, at least.

I wonder why they make it less prominent for some leaders.
Most of these would go unnoticed.

One of the artists commented on reddit saying they hid a Firaxis logo on each leader, but the base game ones are all to obscure and no one found them, so they try to make them more obvious in DLCs

 

[Giskler]

I think it's there, though at this point I feel like I'm starting to see the logo everywhere

 

[Metecury]

Have you guys considered the possibility it might not be on every leader model?

I think you are starting to see it everywhere

Now, I know this isn't explicitly the Paradox logo, but it sure looks similar, no? I saw a similar kind of symbol on Qin Shi Huang's belt, as well.
