Researching idents

My group and I looked at different idents of production company, for example Lionsgate and Sony Pictures. We believe that the ident of a production company should somehow shape the image of that company or even films that it produces. However most of them have an universal appeal so that they can be used in all genres of films. We decided that we would create a simple ident for our production company, perhaps with some smoky effects to make it mysterious.
