pretty basic actually the logo is the hard part my bet it's made in cinema 4d, plenty of tutorials out there for this.

Nothing is totally obvious in this one, so it could've been created in any number of ways. It seems like mostly brushes/textures set to a certain opacity/overlay. The faded edges create a center focus, so I'm sure certain parts were erased/masked.

As avelix said, the logo wireframe was probably made in a 3D program, but it could definitely be created in illustrator as well. None of the lighting seems retained from a 3D image (it looks flat), so simply skewing and offsetting the basic shapes could create the 3D-effect..or simply using the 3D tool in illustrator works as well.

The top 2 color versions have some color variation, but the bottom blue one was probably colored with a color/hue overlay since it's more monotone.

The white pixelated specs seem to be based off of the highlights of the logo, so you could maybe do a select all color range for white highlights, make a new layer, fill with white, then sharpen/pixelate the shit out of it.

Darth doing an rc or something? Be careful their designers/leaders are quite picky.

id recommend some flare on the other letters, maybe give them a lighter tint like the darth part, also try fading to a little darker gray to the ends but it looks amazing man!
