Production Logo Research (Zak Green)

For the research of the production logos i simply went onto google images and typed in production logos. Here are a few examples.

The majority of these production logos have a very dark background, which links well with thriller films as the colour black relates to danger and darkness. The black colour also helps build up suspense because the dark colour scares people more than the light. One thing that our logo should have which isn't in any of these logo's is the colour red as it relates with blood and in our thriller opening there is going to be blood in numerous shots.

All of the big Hollywood production company logos have a unique design with a catchy name and bright in order to catch the viewers attention, the majority are quite simple as well. For example the Dream Works logo only has clouds which is very simple but it is something that the audience will remember.

Here are a few examples of independent film production companies.

Comparing these production logos with the more well known logos we can see that there is a clear difference. The independent film companies are mostly black and white with no other colours, this is probably because they had a much lower budget and therefore went  for the cheaper option and went with a plain logo. Being realistic i think that our production logo with have to be similar to these.
