A little background on me: I've played video games for almost my entire life, so interactive media has played a big role in why I enjoy design and motion graphics. The famous Resident Evil games are a franchise I'm newer to, but I appreciate what these groundbreaking titles did for video games as a medium when they were released in the mid-90s.
Sometimes what I like to do for fun is sketch out logo ideas for in-game universe brands that don't have one, or don't have a good existing design. But this time, I had come up with something I wanted to develop into a final design, and that was a logo for the series' most legendary piece of equipment in the S.T.A.R.S. arsenal: the custom Samurai Edge handgun used by the early games' protagonists.
This logo uses the original font that Resident Evil 1-3 used as their main logo font called Compacta. This is used by the remake games as well, however, CAPCOM likely uses an in-house custom version of Compacta.
