Production logo!

Now that we are coming to the end of our filming, it is time to start drafting our production logo! 
We have all agreed that we want to include an image of an eye within the logo, to come up with some production names we typed 'vision' into the online thesaurus, these are our favourite ideas we found:
  • conception
  • perspective
  • prescience
  • standpoint
We also found pipe dream quite an effective name.


–noun
any fantastic notion, hope, or story



 We decide to try creating a production logo on photoshop, however it was far to friendly and did not relate to the genre of our film opening sequence. We drifted away from the image of an eye idea, and created a piece taking the words literally 'pipe' and 'dream' The image included fun colours and child-friendly pictures which contrasts with our film idea and doesn't relate successfully. 


Therefore we went back to the online thesaurus to see if we had missed any other interesting names. 
We found the definition of Foresight and thought 'Foresight productions' was really effective, and we could go back to including the image of an eye. We found an image of an eye on 'free images' this way no copyright would occur.




Together we agreed that the eye itself should be the main focus, so we blacked out certain areas.




We thought this could be made a little more defined and 'creepy' looking. Therefore after playing around with different brushes, Alice managed to cleverly create and eyelash effect. We made the eyelashes white so they would stand out and contrast against the black background. 



We were all really pleased with the outcome and needed to find the perfect font and style for the production names title! Conveniently Alex has a variety of fun fonts on her personal laptop which we could chose from. Alex put together this sample of fonts for our logo...

 

After a lot of experimenting we finally decided that this was the perfect font for our production logo which will appear at the beginning of our film opening...
