Production company logos are typically shown at the beginning of films and trailers to advertise the company. The logos can be complex clips up to 30 seconds with sound or simpler still images. When creating a logo, it needs to be unique, not overpowering, and clearly incorporate key elements to fulfill its purpose of representing the production company. Logos should be bold, use typical colors like blue or black, have a clear central name or logo, and be either simplistic or more complex with images related to the company name to uniquely identify the producer.

1. Production company logo
research…
Typically the main production company’s logo is shown at the
beginning of a film and trailer.
The logos are used typically to advertise the company and link the film
shown with others they have done in the past. The logos aren’t simple
they usually are quite complex and may have their own 10-30 second
clip with synchronised sound, rather than just showing a picture of the
logo. However this isn’t the same for all and especially in film trailers
the clip is even shorter or they do just show a still image of the logo.
When creating mine I need to ensure that it is unique and different to
others that are used. I need to ensure that the design is not
overpowering and is quite clear, incorporating all key elements of a
production company logo whilst fulfilling it’s purpose.
