Project - Black Crossing

Outcome - Identity for an independent film company.

Commentary - Black Crossing is a small independent film company that wanted an identity that they could use as a company logo and also use as an on screen identity before films. The brief was to create a versatile logo that could be used equally for film genres from romance to horror. 

The Black Crossing name was inspired by the Buckleberry Ferry scene from Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring. So I based my image on this. I created a roughly printed lino cut of a moonlit lake at night with a jetty pointing towards a distant shore.  

Lino cut was used because I wanted to portray the handmade quality of the films and their creator’s attention to detail. The resultant image can evoked different reactions, it can be taken as sinister, romantic, mysterious, old fashioned, fantastic or inviting. The image is to be accompanied with different music to promote these feelings depending on the tone of the film.
