Production Logo Fonts

As mentioned in our previous post, production company logos are really important in identifying the genre of film. Therefore we have decided to make our own logo, which we may be able to may into an ident later in the project.

We decided that we would create a more original production company name this time. The name we chose was Barcode Films, this relates the thriller general because it shows the themes of mystery and identity along with being similar to the Matrix. Therefore we had a barcode image placed on a black background. The fonts are also very important and there were three to choose from.

'Abstract' font

'Rough Typewriter' font

'Quibix' font

We decided that the 'Rough Typewriter' font looked best with out barcode, and would work best with the theme of identity, giving an crime-thriller feel as it could be reflective of typed documents. We think that the 'abstract' and 'quibix' fonts looks too modern, and would suit sci-fi films better. Below is our final logo.

If we have time to make this logo into an ident we will have a red light flash across the barcode, like it's being scanned. The scan with indicate the genre further as it shows the mystery of trying to find something, a solution or work out the problem. The red colour shows the theme of dead or blood.
