Research Into Existing Production Companies

For my groups' opening, we need to create a production title. Below, are a few production titles I have analysed, particularly focusing on ones which have been manipulated in supernatural horror films.
 
This is the original "Warner Brothers" production title.
 
  • This production title has been used in "The Conjuring".
  • Editing has been applied.
  • The black, gloomy background connotes the sub-genre, supernatural horror.
  • This is because black can signify ghosts, possession etc. 
This is the original "Lionsgate" production title. 
  • This production title has been used in "The Possession".
  • A red colour background has been used.
  • The colour visually signifies evilness.
  • Light is visible in the image, which may connote a sign of hope. Furthermore, in possession films, there is always hope  for an exorcist resolving the problem. 
  • Note how "Lionsgate" itself has been changed to silver. The silver creates a contrast with the background, enhancing the title even further.
This is the original "Columbia" production title.
  • This is from "The Grudge 2".
  • The original "Columbia" production title has been edited to signify a supernatural horror.
  • This has been achieved by replacing "Columbia" with "The Grudge 2".
  • The icon has also been manipulated. The woman's costume has been changed to something audience would expect to see in a supernatural horror film. 
  • She has also been given long black hair, connoting a supernatural character.
