Columbia productions began their journey as CBC so had this logo that would be in relation to that. This logo was used throughout the time of 1919 to 1924. It was only a serious of words, so they had the most dramatic change out of all the changes regarding the logo. They created a female Roman solider carrying a sword and a shield. However, this transformed in 1928 into the ‘Torch Lady’. This was a woman holding up a torch, dressed in cloth and with a headdress. This more related to the logo that we witness today, with the set of stairs she stands herself upon, he more animated, life like lady with Columbia’s name behind.

UniversalUniversal was founded in 1914, and began it’s life in regards to logos with what appears to be the planet Saturn, as it had a ring with the Sans Serif font used to write ‘The Trans-Atlantic Film Co Ltd”. However, in 1923, Universal decided to pull itself into having the logo appear more like Earth by losing the ring and using smoke from a plane that circles Earth. Today, the company moved from model work to CGI to film around the Earth and then to go ahead and zoom out, where the word Universal appears. This was only recently changed in 2012 in order to celebrate the 100 years that the company had been in business.

MGM originated with Loew’s incorporated purchasing Metro Pictures Corporation and also Goldwyn pictures. When creating the logo, it was discovered that Loewe was German for lion so that encouraged the reasoning behind having a lion as the centre point of their logo. From 1916 to today, the logo hasn’t changed an awfully large amount. It was created by Howard Dietz, featured Slats the lion in the centre piece and had the Latin for “art for art’s sake” place around the lion’s centre piece. In 1958, the lion in the centre piece was changed and they proceeded to add his roar in the background. In 1932, the company released the coloured version of the logo. In 1966 and 8, the company featured a completely new style of logo into two of their films. It had a blue background with an animated drawing of a lion along with the letters ‘MGM’ This was deemed very unpopular by the audience so was quickly changed. From 1957, the most common logo has not changed dramatically, however there have been many subtle changes to the overall product in order to keep in modernised for films produced today.

Our group decided to name our production company 'Wanted Media'. This links to our mystery genre of our opening sequence and would make more sense to the audience and more understanding of what our opening sequence is about. Reece Savva came up with 4 logo ideas for our production company. The first one, the one most likely to be used because of the tally results (see below) has the idea of the name wanted being being behind bars that spell out the letter 'M' for media. The jail bars link the logo to crime and our opening sequence being a crime mystery. The animation we want for our logo is the wanted logo appearing after a flash of light similarly to a light bulb. Afterwards, the bars will move in to create the 'M' along with the 'Wanted Media' appearing along the bottom.

Here we can see the tally results that went with our logo designs. Reece went around a year 13 class in order to gain results on what our target audience would like to see the most. There was a steady tie between logo 1 and 4 and as a group we discussed that we preferred logo number 1 which is what we decided to go with.

Here we have a picture of the makeup that will be featured in the opening sequence. Here we have possible placement of where the concealer may be placed if we need to create a blank canvas for filming.
Here is an image of the costume that our juror will be wearing during the opening sequence. This will be a suit jacket with matching trousers along with a white shirt, tie and socks. This makes him appear very business like and as though he has done well.
