“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”
~ Harlan Ellison Takes In Star Trek: Into Darkness
“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell

That looks like something a child could have done with a Dymo labelmaker! (Or a grown-up with a nice job.)
The Paramount Classics gates were, appropriately, classy. This is lame. Shouldn’t ‘Vantage’ actually be used like it means something, like a view from the top of their peak?
Fox Searchlight looks to be the only dependent without an “indie-ish” logo. Focus has that minimal blue and yellow thing, WIP has the simple black and red logo, sony classics is the epitomy of minimal, vantage has this. Meanwhile Searchlight looks like a full blow studio unto itself.
So 1994. Their first “bad” move.
Well, it was apparently between this and goatse. I’m not sure they chose wisely.
I’m not a graphic designer, but I think some color would have made this way better. The lettering is pretty grungy but then the light source and black background feel very sterile. Just contradicts itself visually.
What’s ‘goatse’?
Being a design student, i would guess there going more for indie film can label, but to me great simplicity is the WI logo, not simple but cool is the Focus intro, which seems like something the Eames would design
You do not wish to know about goatse and you do not wish to google it. You have been warned!
Jeff, you can go to http://www.urbandictionary.com and look up goatse. That’s the safest way, if you are that curious.
I did google it before and got the gist. I’m lazy, but the internet was made for lazy people.
At least it wasn’t “tubgirl.”
Ok, got what goatse and tubgirl means. Who makes these things??
Thing is, I get what they’re going for and if it were a smaller indie group it would be actually quite great, but Paramount Vantage should be a bit more upscale than this. This would be a decent design for groups like Strand or Magnolia or whatever, but Paramount Vantage, no.
Only advantage is that they can use this logo on their posters, easily.
