Production studio idents
Films are produced by different companies, and during the opening title of a film a sequence showing the production company logo is shown, theese are called idents. I will be looking at different company idents and will be explaining how they have changed through the years.
Universal - The universal ident is a rotating globe with "universal" written on the front of it. The logo first begun in 1927 as a globe rotating in the sky with a plane flying around it, however in 1946 it was changed to a globe rotating in space. the ident has received various graphic updates since then but has remained the same as it was in 1946.
MGM - due to it being difficult to replicate the lion in the MGM ldent has always remained the same, but the ident has gone through a number of different colours including black and white to gold.
Disney - The classic disney pictures ident first appeared in 1985, and is based on the castle in the disney animation film 'Cinderella'. In 2006 the ident was changed from an animation to cgi, to give it a realistic look.
Dreamworks - Dreamworks is a newer company then many of the other production companies. The ident shows a man sitting on the moon and fishing. At some points the ident is cleverly linked with the film, such as in shark tale, where the bait at the end of the mans fishing rod is shown in the water.
Colombia pictures - The first Colombia pictures ident begun in 1924 and showed a women standing a sideways pose. The torch bearing women did not begin till 1936
Warner bros - The warner bros logo begun in the 1940s and has the initials W.B inside a shield. There have been various colour changes to the logo but its appearance has remained the same.
MGM - due to it being difficult to replicate the lion in the MGM ldent has always remained the same, but the ident has gone through a number of different colours including black and white to gold.
