They're some of the most famous visuals of our time, recognizable to billions of people around the world, but have you ever wondered why film studio logos look the way they do? I mean, why is Warner Bros a shield? Who is that kid fishing on the moon for DreamWorks? Why is a roaring lion used by MGM? What do the stars around the Paramount logo symbolize? Who posed as Columbia Pictures' torch-bearing lady? And who composed 20th Century Fox's iconic fanfare?
The answer to all these questions can be found over at "The Stories Behind Hollywood Studios Logos", and makes for an interesting read for film enthusiasts. The comments below also expand and amend the information nicely. Recommended.
