Today, we got straight down to business with the logos. Having completed the Glasshouse Production logo, we just needed to blackout the background and print-screen the image. After that, we imported and inserted the image into Final Cut Pro.
We moved immediately onto Fast Pace Cinema's logo design. Ideas literally coming to me in a minute, I searched Google Images for a running-man silhouette and copied and pasted it into PowerPoint. After blacking out the background and filling the inside of the man's shape with white, I typed in seperate letters and placed them along the inside of his body. I chose the colour scheme of red, white and blue for each of the words because our film is supposed to be created by a British company. By having Fast Pace Cinema's name sporting the Union Jack colours, it represents Britain and identifies Fast Pace Cinema as a British company, adding that sense of Britain to "The Naked Truth". Printscreening and inserting the image, we moved onto designing Preach IT Distributions.
Before we began designing our final logo, Carolina made an excellent point that the prior to had been rather devoid of colour. As a result, we searched a number of psychedelic patterns and rainbow swirls, however, they all proved very bright and difficult on the eyes, so we thought back to a more subdued design for the background. I came up with the colour bars pattern used in television when the TV lost signal. Not only was the background relevant to the film companies work but also was colourful and playful, which linked back to the fun-loving name of "Preach IT". The peace sign is popular with teenagers and relates to the hippie, quirky name of the company. We copied and pasted a silhouette of a hand making peace fingers onto PowerPoint. However, we could'nt get rid of the outlining background of black. About to search for another shape, our classmate Zak offered to use Photoshop to help clear it up and sent it back to us in a couple of minutes (a great guy Zak, and I've got to learn to use Photoshop! Something about that program strikes fear into my heart and all I want to do is avoid it like the plague!).
After completing the logo and typing in the company's name, we printscreened it and inserted it into our film, completing the logos.
Pheebs, OUT!
