Devising a Film Product Company Name and Ident

We had loads of different ideas for our name and ident, these were our three top ideas for the name:

An Ash Production (Because A for (Alicia) and S for (Sophiyah) and then just the H).
A Web Production (Because it would symbolise the network of our audience like a 'web').
A Creep Production (To go with the overall 'thriller' theme)

WE CHOSE TO GO WITH WEB PRODUCTIONS AS WE HAD A GOOD IDENT IDEA FOR THIS AND ALSO LOVED THE FACT THAT IT WOULD SYMBOLISE THE NETWORK OF OUR AUDIENCE LIKE A WEB OF AUDIENCES.

From this we created our ident, which was made from scratch and hand-drawn online on an online website called 'pixlr' we then photoshopped the 'W' (which stands for WEB) on the cobweb. We also computer-drew the 'W' by ourselves. This is our final outcome after editing the look to make it more 'grungy':


UPDATE: At the beginning of our Opening Sequence and our Photomatic we wanted to include our logo first but not just plain and boring just sat there, we wanted to give it a proper image and a great effect. Our exact words were we wanted it to 'burst' into the audiences faces, and this is what we literally did. During my time editing the sequence, I used the software 'after effects' to create some great effects on our OCS. One of these effects included the 'burst' of our logo at the beginning. I created this by going into the 'effects' tab and selecting one effect that allowed the image to literally burst and throw pieces of the image downward. There were different ways I could do this for example with bricks, bubbles and other different shapes. In the end, I thought the 'glass' way was most effective. This was the outcome:


The glass sound effect that was heard in the OCS wasn't included in this edit because it didn't come with after effects effects tab. So therefore we saved this and then went to edit it on lightworks again. I wanted to use the glass sound effect because it would have made it a lot more realistic, so I went on google to search for 'free glass sound effects' and found a great one from youtube:

I downloaded this using 'youtube converter' then fitted it in to my edited logo to make it fit with the breaking glass. It stated in the description of this video that the sound effect was free to use from 'Free Sound Org', therefore we didn't have to go through any copyright to use this sound.
