Production logo research

In order to create our own logo first, me and my peer had to research and investigate different existing logos to see how they are like, what charasteristics they have and also their motion or layout because so many of them are 3D and almost all of them have some sort of motion going on where the logo moves around.

Examples of existing production logos:
The 20th Century Fox was first found May 31st 1935. It is one of the 6 major american film studios. The logo is in fact original and quite complex. This is because it has a 3D, 'building' like design to it which says the name of the distribution company. I noticed that production logos are always played at the beginning of any film and always inlcude some sort of motion. In addition, we can see movements of the lights around the 'statue' which might symbolise the limelights of Hollywood. There is always music at the background and the offical song for this company is called "the Doors".This company seems to specialise in all film genres from romance to comedy to thriller.  It distributed high budget films such as 'Titanic' or 'The Fault in ouir Stars'.

Dreamworks is a production company that is knows for distributing animate movies such as 'Shrek'. It was first found October 12th 1994. The fact that thelogo has a little boy is relatable to the target audience for the types of films it makes, which is children. The boy in the logo seems to be fishing, sitting the moon, sorrounded by clouds. In addition, like any other production logo, it has music at the background which is really soft. Fabiha liked the theme of this logo because she thought it was quite catchy and the moon was a romantic elemtn to include i  our logo. I akso think it is a quite good elemnts howecver there could be better alternatives and we will see that on the next  production logo.

Lionsgate enterteinment is another distributor found July 3rd 1997. It distributes a range of film genres, including romance. This logo is the one i think is the most suitable for our genre because of the  films it distributed, such as ''The hunger Games' and 'The divergent'. Both these films contain romance in them which is the reason we got inspired by this production company. The clouds around the main logo symbolise peace and the theme is quite romantic as in the motion of the logo we see the sunlight peeking through the clouds which can be linked to a sunset and a sunsets are always romantic. I think i might use some of the elements from this logo such as the clouds for our own logo because I think that clouds are suitable for a production company that produces romantic films. Fabiha also agreed with me but we will decide later on during the making of our own logo what elements in particular and what we will use.

Personally I thought our logo has to contain elements such as hearts or roses due to how our chosen genre is romance. However, after this research i understood that we do not have to include such elements because the logo does not have to directly prtray the genre of our film. It could but only to a certain extent, for example in the Lionsgate logo, we see the light peeking through the clouds, that is seen as quite romantic, although it does not contain hearts.
