Walt Disney Picture has been my forever favorite
logo ever since I was a kid. I clearly remembered the first time I watched
Cinderella, and I was stunned by a fancy animated company’s logo with the
sparkle curve around the castle before the movie started.
I did some research and found out an incredible
story of my favorite logo. “Walt Disney” is named after the man who owned the
company. He was a big fan of drawing as he grew up and decided to start their
own company. This is the pioneer design of the company’s logo which was used
from 1937 to 1985:
During my generation, the logo was changed which was the iconic of
Disney themes park. From top the bottom a white
light slowly formed the castle after which the words “Walt Disney Pictures”
would appear after which a line is drawn behind the castle. I think this logo
is really interesting. At least, it grabbed my attention at first sight when I
was young.
From 1995-1995, there was a little change in the
logo. It was 3D version of the previous logo due to the developed technology.
The camera zooms out of the castle while the flags are moving
NOWADAYS, the logo is so realistic. It has the
same composition as the past such as the castle in the middle, the flags and
the text. However, the clouds, lake, and fireworks are really explicit and
well-detail which make the whole logo look magical. It has the same character
and theme, but in a better quality.
Walt Disney has also been my favorite every since I was young too. I always find there productions interesting and very magical to watch. I am also familiar with the second logo evolution up until now. I never knew that before the logo had a castle, there was just a fancy font saying "Walt Disney". I do have to agree that the current logo does look very realistic and more magical due to better technology. However the older logos also look classic and straightforward. Through the significant changes, it clearly shows how developed the technology was in each generation and how it was used to create the different logos.
ReplyDeleteVicky, I think the Disney logo is probably one of the most loved logos of all times. It is interesting how the logo conjures up so many magical thoughts and emotions. Even when my youngest son was 2, he could recognize the Disney logo and would get very excited! Do you think, if Disney hadn't up-dated their logo from the original, it would still have this magical effect on people?
