Analysis of film company logos

Analysis of film company logos

 

 

Paramount Pictures



 

The logo for Paramount Pictures mainly shows a mountain with a ring of stars circling the top of it, with the name between the top of the mountain and stars. As well as "A Viacom Company" written below the stars. I feel as though this is a memorable logo as a mountain seems like quite an odd choice for a logo, and therefore the viewer could relate the image of a mountain with this company. Similar to our project, the name of this company makes reference to their logo ("Lone Wolf productions" and a silhouette of a wolf).

 

Walt Disney Pictures

 

The logo for Walt Disney Pictures consists of a large castle (sometimes shown as a 3-D image) with the name of their company below. The font of their company name looks quite magical which is a reflection of the type of films the company is known for making. The use of a castle also contributes to this as the company is known for making Princess films and castles are usually associated with Princesses. This is also similar to our logo as our film is about social anxiety and wolves are shown to be either family orientated or independent.

 

 DreamWorks Animation

DreamWorks' logo is similar to the Walt Disney Pictures logo due to the fact that it shows something that should be impossible - a boy fishing whilst sat on the moon. The titles are quite bold which may attract the attention of the viewer more.



 Warner Bros

Personally, I feel as though the Warner Bros logo isn't as good as the other logos. I think this because the logo only consists of an emblem with the first letters from each word of the company in bright yellow font (which is eye-catching) and a blue background. This is overlapped by the words "Warner Home Video". Whilst the logo is eye-catching as a result of the bright, contrasting colours it doesn't do much in the way of design like the other logos have. This is why our logo doesn't take much inspiration from this logo.

 

Metro Goldwyn Mayer

The Metro Goldwyn Mayer logo is very iconic as a result of the lion growling which is associated with the company. The logo consists of a lion in the centre of the screen with - what look like ribbons - surrounding it and a face underneath that with the name above it. This logo is very eye-catching due to the yellow and gold colours which contrast to the black background. The use of the lion is also very good as lions are usually associated with power and shown as the king of the animal kingdom which makes the company seem powerful. The inspiration we took from this logo is the use of an animal as animals are usually well like from most of the population.
