Analysing Film Company Logos

DreamWorks
  









the clouds connote a sense of magic and mystery as they are lit up
the crescent moon represents the night and also the title of the company
the boy is fishing on the moon but the moon is in the sky
the word works gives imagery of a factory




Warpfilms


its black and white
the background is the globe indicating its a worldwide company



Warner Brothers


the background is the sky which is peaceful
blue and yellow are contrasting colours so it makes the bold logo stand out
its in a shield which is usually associated with winning - warner brothers have won many awards


Film 4


the red could connote strong emotions also it contrasts with the white writing
its also very eye catching
were the word film is, I think it looks like a cinema auditorium with film being the cinema screen
the massive 4 tells the audience that this company is associated with channel 4


Universal


in space - space is endless meaning the possibilities are endless
the globe - its an international company
the bold writing stands out



20th century Fox


the lights could be there to mean a performance - a stage production



Take Two productions


the bold backlines show a film strip indicating its a film company
also they are in the shape of a T which is the first letter of the words



Retro Films

the background of the logo is a clapper board which is placed in front on the camera in the beginning of a clip to help the editor



Columbia



the statue is holding up a light this makes me think of the light of a projector from a cinema auditorium
the light could also be seen as the sun- as the shadows on the clouds give the effect of a sunset



Lions gate


the background is of the sky - sky = freedom
the sun shines through the clouds
the colour of the title is the same as the sky
the writing is in bold - its eye catching



New Line Cinema



the logo has 2 film strips going across it
its very dark - but is illuminated by the light surrounding the logo
the title is white and therefore stands out on the black background



Sony pictures



the holographic image is eye catching
it reminds me of sunlight hitting the window
the logo could also be a film strip
the title is in bold and stands out


Pixar



light blue background- happy and bright
the light is placed on the I - it illuminates the logo
the light is also a table lamp
the title stands out on the logo in black



Wilson Film productions


its in black and white
there's a film reel - it makes it look more sophisticated
Wilson film is in bold
the black and white is quite basic but effective
