Siah-Design said: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.

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

machawk1 said: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?
Jan. 21 '09
Siah-Design said: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... :)

Siah-Design said:@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

Jan. 22 '09
Siah-Design said: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... :)

cobaltcow said: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: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.

Emfab said: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: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.

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

erikatipsum said: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.
