• Considering that the character sitting on the moon in 
the logo is of young age. You can assume that the 
large majority of the films produced by DreamWorks 
are aimed at the younger audience. I know that the 
character in logo is young due to the shape and 
build of the character. 
• The use of colours are quite inviting, baby blue is a 
rather innocent colour since it usually has 
connotations to new born babies. Once again, this 
shows that DreamWorks films are aimed at young 
children.
History of logo 
• The logo has the initials ‘SKG’ at the running across the 
bottom, these are there since they are the first letter of 
Spielberg, Katzenberg and Geffen; the founders of 
DreamWorks. 
• Originally, Spielberg wanted the logo to be reminiscent of 
Hollywood’s golden age. Spielberg also wanted the logo to 
be computer generated, but Spielberg’s supervisor of light 
suggested that a hand-painted logo would look much better. 
• The logo we all see today, is the hand-painted version since 
Spielberg thought it was actually a good idea.
