The Story Behind Elysian Productions

The Story Behind Elysian Productions

For the name of our production company, we decided on the name 'Elysian Productions'. The word 'Elysian' means: Relating to, or a characteristic of, heaven or paradise. We chose this word as heaven, or paradise, is something that we all strive towards; as we believe that it is a place so perfect, that it is worth going through hard times just to get there. The paradise that we, as a group, strive towards is a perfect film and, to get to that perfect film, we may also have to go through tough times in the filmmaking process, but that passion will still be shown, and that is why we are called Elysian Productions.

We wanted to create a logo for our production company that was simple yet recognisable. We decided that we wanted to create a text-based logo, as most production companies go for this.

This was the first attempt at the logo. We wanted the logo to be a window into the film, but the colours shown, and the gradient applied to the logo, made it quite hard to see on a busy background. We needed to make the logo more simple.

This was one of the refinements to the logo. The bright allow for almost infinite combinations of complementary colours.

This is the final logo for our production team and we feel it represents our values in filmmaking, and our journey to always strive for higher quality.
