Production Logo Research

20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox is a well known production company. Their logo is predominantly Gold coloured with a dark blue background. Because of the dark background, the text ("20th Century Fox") stands out.
The main franchises that are owned by 20th Century Fox are as follows;

• Star Wars
• Die Hard
• Home Alone
• Ice Age
• X-Men
• The Simpsons
• Family Guy
• 24

The franchises owned by 20th Century Fox are mainly television based as apposed to being film based. This production company doesn't release many thriller genre movies meaning there is nothing that they have released that can be compared to the genre we are studying.



















DreamWorks

The DreamWorks production logo is made up of dark colours (black and dark blue/purple) with white text over the top. Like 20th Century Fox, the text stands out on the logo and makes it more eye-catching.

DreamWorks have released a number of films over a variety of genres. A main thriller film that has been released by DreamWorks is The Lovely Bones. The Lovely Bones is adapted from a novel and has sub-genres of horror and action. This film is a good comparison to our opening sequence as it has a similar storyline. The Lovely Bones also has the same two sub-genres as our opening sequence, as we aim to use some elements of horror and some of action.
















New Line Cinema

The New Line Cinema production logo is similar to DreamWorks in the way that both have a dark background with white text. Due to the white text, it stands out and is more eye-catching than if it had a darker text that would match the background.

Before being bought out by Warner Bros, New Line Cinema released a number of films over a number of genres. Some of the films released by New Line Cinema fall into the thriller genre. An example of this that could be compared to our opening would be Shoot 'Em Up. Shoot 'Em Up is a thriller film with a sub-genre of action, which is what we are aiming to have in our thriller opening sequence.
