The Rings of Powers Logo Needed LOTR-Level Effort To Make

The logo for the new Amazon series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, took a massive amount of technical skill and effort to create. The title of the series, and a brief description of its plot details and setting, was released earlier today, giving eager LOTR audiences more of an idea of the show's focus. The new multi-season fantasy series, developed by Amazon Prime Video with an eye-watering budget, will be debuting later on in 2022 on September 2nd. 

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will be the first new piece of LOTR media seen on screen since The Hobbit trilogy concluded in 2014. Since then, Amazon has taken charge of the franchise's future and determined that TV is the way forward rather than more films. The decision will have come off the back of the success of other recent fantasy TV series such as Game of Thrones and The Witcher. However, further information on the series, which wrapped filming back in August of 2021, has been sporadic and vague other than the reveal that it will take place during Middle-earth's Second Age.

Now, newly released information from Amazon Prime Video has confirmed the new series' logo and included details on how production made it. The logo is the show's title, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, wrought in metal and set against a sustainably sourced redwood background. The pouring of the molten metal into the molds of the writing was a complicated process, requiring technical prowess to ensure that they didn't burn the redwood background. Check out the logo and photos of its creation below:

It will be interesting to see how much the series is made using practical effects (like the logo) rather than CGI. Peter Jackson's iconic The Lord of the Rings film series, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, was notable for its extensive use of practical effects over CGI. The films used a combination of detailed set design, on-location shooting in New Zealand, thousands of extras, and impressive make-up and prosthetics to create much of what's seen on-screen, including the huge battle sequences. Conversely, much of what was seen in the prequel trilogy, The Hobbit, was CGI and audiences agree that the prequel trilogy's visual effects have aged faster than The Lord of the Rings' effects, which still hold up today.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power refers to the 19 other Rings that Sauron had forged alongside his iconic Ring of Power. Sauron distributed the extra rings amongst the other Middle-earth rulers, with nine being given to the Kings of Men, seven to the Dwarf-lords, and three to the Elves. After months of speculation, the show's logo and title finally reveal the focus of the Amazon series.
