Existing Production Company Idents Analysis

Existing Production Company Idents Analysis

Miramax Films/Home Entertainment:- Known for distributing and producing independent and foreign films. It was a leading distribution/production before being bought by The Walt Disney Company for 17 years.

Their logo consists of the company name within a giant "M" for Miramax.













Its Ident Sequence in their movies consists of the logo emerging from brightly-lit city buildings (it has no signature theme tune like 20th Century Fox).


However, in one of the movies they co-distributed with Buena Vista Home Entertainment, Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui, the logo, after its respective Ident Sequence, then melts into an ocean where a bright beacon of light can be seen off in the distance (which is where the opening to the movie starts) while music from the movie's soundtrack plays in the background.



The Walt Disney Company/Walt Disney Pictures:- One of the "Big Six" film distribution/production companies.

The logo either consists of the company's nickname, which is simply "Disney", or it's full name at the foot of a castle.








The most recent Company Ident sequence consists of the night sky with a single bright star and then an overview of a city that zooms out and circles a giant castle with fireworks in the background until it finishes with a Long Shot of the castle, a tiny light (presumably Tinker Bell from Disney's Peter Pan) creating an an semi-circle of pixie dust over the castle and the Disney logo emerging at the foot of it. The theme tune that plays in the background is an instrumental of "When You Wish Upon A Star" from Disney's Pinocchio.


There are also several other versions of this Ident depending on the Disney movie, for example:





















Pixar Animation Studios:- A CGI animation company owned by The Walt Disney Company.

The logo consists simply of the name of the company. Sometimes, it is shown next to the Disney logo, with characters from Pixar's films or the signature lamp (sometimes two lamps).













The Company Ident sequence consists of the mascot (the jumping lamp) hopping over to the "I" of the logo and jumping on it until it is squashed underfoot and the lamp looks directly at the camera.
