Ident Design Research
• Most of the idents we researched follow the same sort of colour theme. Most of them are blue/purple and some feature the name of the company in gold.
• We quite like this look because it gives the impression that the company is very professional and formal. It gives the ident a slick appearance, and therefore portrays the film to have the same effect.
• Other idents follow a different colour scheme. Some have a black background with a bold picture in the middle.
• This is also an effective look as the contrast of the black background and the gold foreground works intelligently to pursue a eye catching ident.
