Client: United Artists via The Cimarron Group.
Art Director: Myself and others.
Project Date: Fall 2007.
When you try and bring in a new client often it is to start with the company logo and revisit the design to see if an update is in order. While running the 3D Design Department at Cimarron I had a chance to develop the look for a good number of logos both fully spelled out and the famous UA icon they use as well.
This was a very fun project not just to design, but to learn the history of how United Artists was founded and why. Chaplin, Pickford, Fairbanks and D.W. Griffith wanted to give some creative control to the artists themselves[ sound familiar!], so they started their own film company in 1919 and the original studio is still standing on Santa Monica and Formosa to this day in Hollywood.
