The logo interplays the black
background with the primary RGB
colors, from which all colors can be
created, just as a black screen can
come alive with all the colors of
movies.
It pays homage to the B&W origin
of cinema, and to the vibrancy of
creativity.
The RGB triangles create a sense of
motion amid negative space, and
represent the many puzzle pieces
required for a successful film/TV/
web production.
The square logo communicates
balance, and optimizes social media
usage.
The Gotham font is both a modern
favorite and of timeless design,
which makes it relatable to artists
and producers.
Finally, the logo was crafted to
display effectively on dark back-
grounds via the alternate version.

makes it possible for an organization to “own” a certain set of colors, by
leaving a lasting impression through identification of the organization with
that specific color palette.

Screens and Shades
The color palette can be increased
by using screens and shades that
originate from the primary colors.
The primary colors are shown in the
center of the palette range.
The lighter tints are created by
screening the primary colors
against white. The darker tints
(shades) are created by adding
black to the primary colors.
The tints shown here are examples
of this range. Additional screens
and shades can be used as well,
according to the needs of the
application.
