Twisted Pictures & Columbia Logo's

We intend to use the following Institutions in our film opening. Here is a deep analysis of the company's and their logos.


Twisted Pictures logo
Twisted Pictures is a Film production company that make films that are specifically in horror genre. The company was started in 2004 by Evolution Entertainment’s Mark Burg, Oren Koules and Gregg Hoffman. The company is very successful in the 21st century and they make films today such as Saw, Mother’s Day, Dead Silence and Catacombs. The company’s most iconic film is Saw which then made 6 sequels. They then worked with the same makers of Saw to create Dead silence.


The Twisted Pictures logo is the name of the company written in big bold white writing which had cracks in each letter to make it look spooky to reflect the genre. The font is cut out as it fades out towards the bottom to make it look like mist on a cloudy day. The logo is then twisted around the trunk in the middle like it is being strangled which again reflects the genre. The trunk rips through out the title and leaves to cut into pieces. This represents the type of genre they produce which reflects into our own genre.




Columbia Logo


Columbia is an American film production company. Sony Pictures Entertainment owns this company but was founded by the name “Columbia.” The films they produce normally have a high-budget and are usually very successful and worldwide. The most famous films they have made are The Pursuit of Happiness, 50 First Dates, The karate Kid and The Grudge. They have a range of different genres and have so far filmed all the main genres.


The logo of Columbia is a lady carrying a torch and wrapped around in an American flag, which represents the state Columbia. The logo design has had 5 changes to what it looks like now. The lady in the picture is holding a torch which sends out rays of light like the sun, it gives of the same symbol as the statue of liberty, which then could represent how important the company is in the film industry. The logo lasts around 25 seconds and the music is very loud and dramatic like an orchestra. This music could represent the of how important they think their company is. As soon as this music starts, the screen is filled with light which is then zoomed out from her torch to show the whole scene of her standing on a podium in her dress with the bold letters “Columbia” in a 3D font which stands out and then fades into the background.
