The production company is responsible for both the development and physical production of new media, performing arts, film, radio or television program.
For that reason the logo's of these production companys are usually very recognisable at the begining or end of a film or film trailer. Just as the film industry has devolped over ther years, so have the logos of the recognisable companys.
Paramount Pictures
The distinctively pyramidal Paramount mountain has been the company's logo since its inception and is the oldest surviving Hollywood film logo. The motion picture logo has gone through many changes over the years, it began as a somewhat indistinct charcoal rendering of the mountain ringed with superimposed stars. The logo originally had twenty-four stars, as a tribute to the then current system of contracts for actors, since Paramount had twenty-four stars signed at the time.
For Paramount's 90th Anniversary in 2002, a new, completely computer-generated logo was created, with the south col peak of Mount Everest as the basis for the mountain.A newer variation of this logo debuted in 2010, with the Viacom byline in the "New Viacom" font
20th Century Fox Film Corporation
The distinctive Art Deco 20th Century Fox logo, designed by famed landscape artist Emil Kosa, Jr., originated as the 20th Century Pictures logo, with the name "Fox" substituted for "Pictures, Inc." in 1935. The logo was originally created as a painting on several layers of glass and animated frame-by-frame. It had very little animation—just a sideline view of the tower with searchlights, some moving and some non-moving. Over the years the logo was modified several times. In 1953, Rocky Longo, an artist at Pacific Title, was hired to recreate the original design for the new CinemaScope process. In order to give the rather static design the required "width", Longo tilted the "0" in 20th—an idiosyncratic element which became part of the design for more than two decades.
In 1994 the CGI logo was introduced an was also the first time that Twentieth Century Fox was recognized as "A News Corporation Company" in the logo, although it had already been owned by News Corp. for eight years. In 2009, an updated version was used to coincide with 20th Century Fox's 75th anniversary and made its official debut with Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
2.2 Production Company Logo Design
For our Logo design we wanted to something simple and related to our film. That meant making some quite eery or distaughted. We decided to go with DGSB productions to keep things simple but it was also something we could work with. We decided to adapt the existing DGSB logo to suit our needs. We used G.I.M.P to manipulate the image, we distorted it slightly and changed the colours to give it a more horror themed look. This is what we came up with.
