Production Companies & Logos

What is a Production Company? 

They are involved in producing records as well as live entertainment. The purpose of their role is to:

• Manage bookings
• Oversee budgets & funding & purchases
• Distribute films and TV programmes
• Help with casting & performance
• Be involved with marketing
• Post-production
• Time management

When Companies make and produce films, it is essential that the Production Companies have logos so audiences can recognise their work and also for copyright reasons. All logos and brand names are featured for the purpose of the business or company's concern. There are two types of Production Companies:

• Studio Company
• Independent Company

A Studio Company is a large scale Production Company who often have a large set number of crew, large number of actors (expensive talent), catering, large budgets and have often created a reasonable number of films in the past.

An Independent Company is a much smaller scale Production Company who often have a very small set number of crew, small number of actors, no catering and a very minimal budget.
