Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate

With the threat of the Witness ended, the Guardians turn their attention to mysteries at the edge of the Solar System. On the distant planetoid of Kepler the Guardians discover a long-lost colony of human scientists grappling with a threat which defies the boundaries of time itself. For the Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate primary campaign icon, it was important to communciate the themes of wierd science and time manipulation which are central to the expansion narrative.

For the Edge of Fate campaign icon, I decided to focus on a shape which implied ripples in the flow of time contained within an hourglass silhouette. The shape weight and linework take inspiration from the crest of the Aionian civilization which is present throughout the campaign playspace. For the UI brand execution I focused on the red shades of the Kepler landscape, accented by the iridescent green and blues of Dark Matter energy which are present throughout the camapign. The accent shapes and linework were designed to create an association with the scientific focus of the Aionian culture.
