Production Company Logos Research

I have decided to research some production company logos of production companies that deal mostly with the production of horror films, in order to help deciding what our production company logo should be like.

Ghost House Pictures

From first looking at this production company's logo, it's easy to tell that it mostly works with horror films. This is clear firstly due to the production company's name, using the word 'ghost' connotes scary things, and infers to the public that this production company is most often associated with horror films. Also, the image of the skull used in the logo connotes horror and makes the horror film association more apparent.


Dark Castle Entertainment

This production company's logo also makes it obvious from first glance that they work mostly with horror films. The moon and silhouette of a castle give spooky connotations, which enforce the idea that the company are most interested in horror films. The glowing effect on the text is also effective as it makes the text stand out, matches with the moon and adds to the creepy feel of the logo. The use of a light colored text on the dark background makes it clear to see and stand out. The fog and blood splatters used also have connotations of horror and danger. Using these elements together in a logo is an effective way of showing people that this production company is best suited to horror films.

Shattered Dreams Productions

The colour's used in this production company's logo instantly suggest it specialises in the horror genre as red connotes things such as blood and danger, whereas black has connotations of evil. These two colours have also being associated and used in classic horror films for many years, which makes this logo easily identifiable with it's audience. The gothic text used also supports the idea that this production company are most suited to horror films. The text is big and fairly bold and stands out on it's background colour, making it very easily noticeable.
