The True Story Behind Hollywood Studio Logos
- Factofusion
The logo was originally painted by Emil Kosa Jr. Kosa and replaced 'Pictures Incorporate' in the original 20th-century logo with FOX. Later, Rocky Longo repainted the FOX logo keeping the design as is, but making it brighter and giving a clearer look to the entire logo.
In the late 90s, 20th Century FOX Pictures introduced its first animated CGI logo, with the new text 'A News Corporation Group' added at the bottom.

Logo DreamWorks.
- U-Report
Dreamworks studio was started by Steven Spielberg, Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg, and record producer David Geffen. The Dreamworks Studios logo represents a boy fishing from the moon.
The logo idea first emerged from Spielberg which will remind people of the golden age of Hollywood. Spielberg asked Robert Hunt to draw a logo that contained a boy instead of a man fishing from the moon.
Under the Dreamworks logo, it says Animations SKG, which stands for the initials of Spielberg, Katzenberg, and Geffen. The boy in the logo is the son of designer Hunt.
The logo was then animated using computer graphics and the current Dreamworks logo is a colorful version against a background of clouds and clear skies.
6. Warner Bros Pictures
Warner Bros
Warner Bros Studio was opened by Warner Brothers and became the first studio in Hollywood. The original logo depicts the text 'Warner Brothers' at the top with a shield in the center containing WB along with an original photo of Burbank California Studio, where Warner Bros. first started. The logo underwent more than 200 changes in just the last 15 years.
The current logo we see is a completely CGI-based logo, with a Golden Shield containing the words WB with a ribbon on it written as Warner Bros Pictures. However, the colors and logo designs nowadays tend to change with the theme of each movie.
