Production Company Logos

One of the production companies I looked into was, Studio Canal. I found that this companies logo involved a lot of monotonous colours and was very straight forward. I interpreted ideas by using black and white shades, and making the layout/style look professional and proper.
The logos are very similar, but different in their own ways. This particular logo looks rather like a chess board which gives the audience the assumption that the film could be about a game of some sort. This would be good as it could confuse the audience, and make the film appear creepier with the use of a game. But it could create a wrong tone/mood for the film which we would not want to do.



Another production company that I researched was, Cross Creek Pictures. This logo is very much like the previous one as it uses monotonous shades/colours. I used 'Picmonkey' to create a logo that was similar to theirs.

Our logo is very similar with the shapes and colours used. This would help the audience identify with the similar style and perhaps recall what movies that company has produced. We have used our own name for the logo, but the font is different. This gives our logo a bit of diversity, but the audience are still able to associate with the other company. That is a positive about using this production logo, however it is very similar to Cross Creek Pictures. To avoid making the logos too similar, we could use different colours, for example reds, as they represent danger and blood.

Film 4 have produced (and distributed) many films. It is a very iconic logo and because of the colours used it is very bright and bold. I incorporated ideas from the logo by using red and white. The red in the background has been made to represent blood which suggests what genre the film would be. This would be helpful to the audience and set the tone.

We looked into Columbia as the logo represented liberty and the use of the statue also represented that it was a good company. It gave off the impression that it was a large, conglomerate company. I took ideas and made a logo using a statue of liberty to give off the same feel for the company and for it to appear professional. Unlike Columbia however, I used dark black and red colours to foreshadow the genre of the film and to set a creepy atmosphere. When creating this logo on Picmonkey, I experimented with different ways we could use our company name; instead of using 'EA AE,' we could use 'EA².'

Here are some other logos I have designed that are similar to the ones I have researched:
Now that we have researched and created some ideas, we can start working on our final production logo. I understand I would not be able to use these particular logos as the pictures on them have been taken from the internet, plus these were made on 'Picmonkey.' When we make the real logo, we will create it on 'Adobe Photoshop' and use our own creations/pictures/drawings.
