Logos

The two company logos that I have chosen to deconstruct are Warp Films and Vertigo Films.

Warp Films
To the left is the logo for Warp Films, as you can see the colour scheme is black and white and simplistic compared to other logos, like Universal's. As you can see Warp Films in written on a lightening bolt, this could be inferred to mean that Warp Films is paving the way for more film companies. This is over the top of an oval shape with lines on it, this could be inferred to be the world. With the lightening bolt over it could inferred that Warp Films will be making an impact all over the world, as they are spreading across the world with an office already open in Australia.


Vertigo Films

Vertigo Films' logo, pictured to the right, is a red background with black writing this is also fairly simplistic but it catches the eye as black and red are colours that would make an impact when put together.
