Film Studio Logo Art

10 Jan 2012 at 20:52

Columbia Pictures Logo


The current Columbia Picture logo was created in 1992 (when the classical Columbia torch lady logo from 1928 was repainted digitally) by New Orleans artist, Michael Deas. Deas used Jenny Joseph, a homemaker and mother of two children, as a model. The animation, created by Synthespian Studios in 1993 by Jeff Kleiser and Diana Walczak, starts with a bright light, which zooms out to reveal the torch and then the lady. The duo used 2D elements from the painting and converted it to 3D.

 

TriStar Logo

The TriStar Pictures logo of a Pegasus (either stationary or flying across the screen), introduced in 1984, has become something of a cultural icon. The second logo was originally painted by Alan Reingold and debuted in 1992. The theatrical version was animated by Intralink Creative.

DreamWorks Logo

The DreamWorks logo features a young boy sitting on a crescent moon while fishing. The general idea for the logo was the brainchild of company co-founder Steven Spielberg, who originally wanted a computer-generated image, whereas Visual Effects Supervisor Dennis Muren, of Industrial Light and Magic suggested a hand-painted one. Muren then contacted a friend and fellow artist, Robert Hunt, to paint it. Hunt worked on both versions, for each of which his son William was cast as the model for the boy, and Spielberg liked the CGI one better.

The logo attached to feature films was made at ILM based on paintings by Hunt, in collaboration with Kaleidoscope Films, Dave Carson and Clint Goldman.
