Film Production Company Logo Analysis

Dreamworks

Dreamworks are well known for making animated films and TV shows that appeal to children but can also be enjoyed by adults. Successful films produced by the company include 'Shrek', 'Madagascar' and 'How to Train Your Dragon'.

The logo shown here is the standard logo but the company changes some features depending on the film - for example, the 'Madagascar 3' logo was set in daytime and the 'Kung Fu Panda 2' logo was designed in a Chinese style to fit with the film being set in China. The clouds are used to show off the company's skill in making animated films and the detail that they put in to their work. The boy fishing on the moon is recognisable by everyone and has been kept the same since the company began so that the viewer will feel nostalgic whenever they see the logo.

Paramount

The word 'Paramount' being at the top of the mountain connotes that they are at the top of the industry and the mountain suggests that they are a powerful and large company; the word also means "supreme", which tells the audience that their films are better than any other company's. The stars in a circle around the company name suggests that they make high quality films and that they're a well rounded brand. The detail used in the logo connotes to the viewer that they pay a lot of attention to detail in their films and that they are good quality.

Universal

The company has put emphasis on their 100th anniversary and this shows the audience that they are hugely successful and know what they are doing due to much experience. It also connotes that they have experienced film-making as technology has changed and they have adapted and changed with it. The bold, white letters stand out to the audience and catch their attention, and the gold outline connotes winning and quality. The words are curved around the Earth and this connotes that their films are from around the entire world and show the whole picture. The logo is HD and animated to show that they are good with effects and CGI and that their films are as good quality as the logo.

Disney

Disney are famous for making films based on fairy tales, such as 'Snow White' and 'Cinderella', and their films are aimed at children but are also intended for their parents to enjoy too. The castle in the background of the logo emphasizes the fairytale theme of the company and and the castle is lit up contrast with the dark sky in the background. The blue and pink colours in the sky show that the company targets their films at both boys and girls. The logo looks as though it is a signature and the loopy, silver font makes it stand out from the dark background. There is an animated trail of sparkles that go over the castle, which was used in the original logo and makes any adults watching feel nostalgic as they would've watched Disney films as a child. The entire logo is animated to show the audience that the company are good at animation as the majority of their films are animated and they have improved their skills along with the changes in technology.
