Production logo & analysis

The inspiration for our production logo was Joe Carnahans "Smokin' Aces". We were inspired because its contains an image from the film and the production company in the left hand side of the screen, this is effective because the text stands out on the page, yet the action image keeps the tense atmosphere in the credit sequence. As you can see there are a few similarities, yet a few differences, this is because few chose to keep our own sense of style, to go more with our film, which is more darker, dingy and respectively a crime/gangster genre rather than just gangster. We chose the greyscale, black and white look, this shows a sense of tension, suspense and atmosphere to the film. Many gangster films use these styles of font, colour and style, this is because in the sans-serif type font it shows that the film is more contemporary. They are all also bold and stand out on the page, this makes it easier for the audience to read, and easier for them to recognize the production company, cast and the title of the film.
