

A lot of logos have equal width and height, and a lot seem to
incorporate a circular shape. This can help make them easier to
place and use, such as in icons or on posters. This also makes
them look neater.



Companies may use a historical background to the logo for
their film company. For example, Warner Bros. logo
incorporates a shield with the letters WB on it, with a banner
over the top. The shield resembles a family's coat of arms.
