2 logos are revealed for the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them!

The official logo has finally been revealed for the upcoming Harry Potter spinoff film Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them! For those who are unaware,

"Fantastic Beasts is set in 1920s New York and tells the story of Magizoologist Newt Scamander, played by Oscar-winning British actor Eddie Redmayne ( The Theory of Everything). 

Scamander is the writer behind the foremost textbook on the magical creatures of the wizarding world, (you’ve guessed it) Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

The new logo looks absolutely amazing. It has the magical feel that you have come to expect from the Harry Potter films while still having a feel of its own.

While speaking to Pottermore, the creative team behind the logo spoke about how the logo was conceived.

‘If you think of Harry Potter, that logo instantly comes into your mind: the lightning bolt ‘P’ and the shape of the words. So we wanted this one to feel like it was born of that same world. We were trying to come up with something that drafted similarly off that iconography but in a new way. In a Fantastic Beasts way.’ 

So what about the beasts which inspired them? The designers remain tight-lipped on potential spoilers, but can reveal that the ’S’ was inspired by a creature that does appear in the film. 

'The logo is a blend of beasts, it’s not just one takeaway. When we arrived on idea for the ’S’ it excited us. So we thought there must be a way to accent these other letters with claws or ribs — hints to other beasts, while this one is the logo’s centrepiece.'

What do you think about this new logo? What beast do you think the "S" in the logo could be? I'm going to have to go through my copy of the book and see if I can find it.

Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will be in theaters in November 2016.
