Great thinking, Josiah.

epsilon said on Jan. 21 '09

Hehehe .. this should go into a "sneaky use of everyday things in logo design" book :)

akina said on Jan. 21 '09

I really like it, it�s simple and clever!

Brandsimplicity said on Jan. 21 '09

BOO!

Siah-Design said on Jan. 21 '09

Thanks for the comments everyone! Once I get a concept in my head and then go to execute it I usually end up realizing that it can be even more simple than I first anticipated.

AlexWende said on Jan. 21 '09

This is awesome!

logomotive said on Jan. 21 '09

another great one Siah.

JohnBoerckel said on Jan. 21 '09

haha, i love it

cerise said on Jan. 21 '09

missed this nice work

cerise said on Jan. 21 '09

Reminds me of Frogra's shocked logo but still very clever they can both co-exist.

tdf said on Jan. 21 '09

This is amazing! Made me laugh - great work!

oronoz ® said on Jan. 21 '09

O: hahaha great work!!

koodoz said on Jan. 21 '09

Are you kidding?!?! This almost made me choke on a mouthful of apple as I glanced passed it :) I can't believe how frickin' awesome this is!!!

Matheus said on Jan. 21 '09

very simple yet so well done

logomotive said on Jan. 21 '09

@ Koodoz, man you must have a big mouth ;-).

machawk1 said on Jan. 21 '09

Clever use of the reel, but it took reading the comments here to realize that the reel was supposed to be a face (it is, right?). Would it be possible to add something extra to make it more apparent?

logomotive said on Jan. 21 '09

^ NO! welcome to the wonderful world of logo design. Less is more.

logomotive said on Jan. 21 '09

@ machawk1, You just have to know when and where to apply it.

Farmill said on Jan. 21 '09

Floated and faved!

Siah-Design said on Jan. 21 '09

Thanks for the comments everyone! I definitely agree with you, Mike. ^

LOL, almost choked on your apple, eh Koodoz? A lot of people I've shown this to have laughed out loud. I guess it has that effect... :)

lundeja said on Jan. 21 '09

Gah I'm such a sucker for personification in design.

within said on Jan. 22 '09

simple and successful logo. great idea.

Siah-Design said on Jan. 22 '09

Thanks Lunde and Within. :)

ahab said on Jan. 22 '09

ahhh simplicity. perfect. love it.

raja said on Jan. 22 '09

is this a real logo

Siah-Design said on Jan. 22 '09

@raja This is a fictional logo. The concept is up for sale at IncSpring though... "shocking films" would work better for a real company. :0

firebrand said on Jan. 22 '09

A bit underpriced IMO. Nice work.

penflare said on Jan. 22 '09

OUUUUUUUU aahahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

prwhitehead said on Jan. 22 '09

your a genius.

neveronyx said on Jan. 22 '09

Apart from the horrible typeface and the fact that it looks like it was designed in MsPaint... I got a cheap laugh out of this clever design

Siah-Design said on Jan. 22 '09

Thanks Roy and prwhitehead and Sean (I think :) )

@neveronyx: Glad you got a kick out of it. The font is Gotham light and it was designed in Adobe Illustrator. :) Please enlighten me as to why it looks like it was done in mspaint... :)

jsae said on Jan. 22 '09

simply brilliant.

ranganath said on Jan. 22 '09

very simple.....yet impressive...good job Siah

elmickeylozano said on Jan. 23 '09

Didn't get it. The concept of films is covered but what about the Horror Part? Anyway, I like it.

elmickeylozano said on Jan. 23 '09

Oh... Oh!!! Now I get it! Sorry for my distraction.

pvtcamo said on Jan. 23 '09

LOVE IT!

cobaltcow said on Jan. 23 '09

genius idea and wonderfully executed.

my only thought is that the icon doesn't make any sense without the title, so maybe the text could be slightly heavier?

bigjerk said on Jan. 23 '09

Really really clever concept, seems to be a bit of a disconnect between the type and icon though...excellent work, but with a bit more work it could be flawless.

Cyclone200 said on Jan. 25 '09

Original ;)
Nice !

AdamTheNumberOneMan said on Jan. 25 '09

this is sooo good!

navillus mik said on Jan. 25 '09

this is awesome!

marcos_paiva said on Jan. 27 '09

a very good friend

quirk-doodlegirl said on Jan. 27 '09

brilliant - I adore the simplicity and wit!

logotivity said on Jan. 27 '09

Check out his whole portfolio.. He is defiantly one of the more wittier ones ;)

Emfab said on Jan. 27 '09

I didn't see the mask at first. I saw a bowling ball. Granted, I'm not a horror movie fan, but even knowing the history of horror and the hockey mask (that is the connection, correct?), the connection took me more than a minute.

I love the simplicity of the type, it seems most production companies are going clean like that.

joellet said on Jan. 27 '09

Thought this was very clever, I'm not sure that the face is entirely apparent as a film reel, it might be too much smiley and not enough depth. Maybe adding more detail to the film reel will help, just slight details though.

neveronyx said: "Apart from the horrible typeface and the fact that it looks like it was designed in MsPaint... I got a cheap laugh out of this clever design"

quite obviously a random, non-graphic designer stirrer.

(I've come in late I know but i just wanted to say that)

Awesome work Siah. I think the reel could be seen in a few different ways and thats why it works so well. It could be the face of a ghost, it could be a mask, it could be a horrified expression, it could be someone so scared they went white with fright...and beyond all that, it definately looks like a film reel. :)

Siah-Design said on Jan. 27 '09

Haha, thanks for the comments everyone. ^ I really admire the work of so many of you guys that have commented and it means a lot to get feedback from all of you!

mushkabella said on Jan. 28 '09

My favorite logos are the ones where the client must be saying "do I really need to pay full price...that must have taken you two minutes." I love the simplicity. The idea is impressive. Great work.

zacharoo said on Jan. 28 '09

Haha. Absolutely love this one! So simple and clever!

tanyildiz said on Jan. 29 '09

fun in horror :-) witty work!

dikkers said on Jan. 29 '09

lol, MS PAINT?

Great logo mate!

erikatipsum said on Feb. 01 '09

Dude this is so funny! I will admit I have a soft spot for logos that turn inanimate objects into faces (never been much good at it myself though). Love it! Keep up the good work.

kiritpatel said on Feb. 01 '09

Nice thought!!!
