The Brief
Cinema Elegance is a wedding film company that specializes in romantic, cinematic visions of the wedding day. We go to great lengths to make sure that we are not simply “videoing” a wedding, but are telling a story by pulling out the details you most likely never saw. We do shoot other event work, but high end weddings/brides are our main focus.
Our target audience is not restricted by geography as we travel and do distance (even international) weddings/events. We are pinpointing the bride or audience that looks for quality, style, and artistry. Basically the name says it all: Cinematic and Elegant. We definitely don’t want the image to come across as “bargain” or “low cost” as our rates in our current market put us on the mid to high end. We have packages for the more budget minded, but are not looking for the lowest price market.
The logo will be used for all of our branding: website, business cards, letterhead, signage, etc. It will also be seen on all of our wedding films and other cinematic work. It will be used not only with brides and bridal parties, but with high end venues, magazines, and bridal coordinators. We hope that it will denote class and elegance at first glance.
Up to this point we have simply used text as our logo. We have tried Cinema Elegance, CinemaElegance (no space), and CinemaElegance Films in the past. We are open to any variations depending on design. It’s not necessary to have a camera or film in the logo to make it work. The elegant/timeless (as I’ve seen others describe it) feel is the most important. We’re not against the film type elements, but definitely want to stay away from clip art looks.
We normally use darker colors in our advertising, but are not tied to anything in particular. Once again we shoot for elegance, so we have gone with blacks and variations of grey or white in the past. We would definitely be open to your ideas and creativity. Alot of photographer/videographers use black as a main color. We’re comfortable with change if it really sets the right tone.
We have a tagline that we have been using “Your life. Our creativity.” It can be used, but you can design without it, also.
Words that come to mind that define us are elegant, cinematic, epic, beautiful, timeless, professional, filmic, classic, artistic, creative, moving, emotional, and breathtaking. You can see one of our films to get an idea at our site www.cinemaelegance.com.
Besides those guidelines our minds pretty open and looking forward to a new, concise look and your ideas.


Comments
ACMoody:
I should probably clarify the listing above since I’ve just read over it with fresh eyes. Yes, wedding films are our main work, but it’s not all that we do. We also do commercial work so the logo will need to be something that can encompass beauty while not turning people in the commercial world away. The logo can be contemporary or classic in design, but should have a feel of “cinematic elegance” and not just “wedding elegance”.
I hope that helps everyone in seeing a better direction. Sorry if the listing was confusing for anyone.

Hi everyone! I’m sorry that I’ve not been able to put comments on alot of the new entries and here we are down to the last day. I will try to put any thoughts up that I can, but wanted to let everyone know that we truly appreciate the work that has been done here and have so many great ideas to look at. I do appreciate that some of you have taken the lead in the last few days to move a different direction with designs along the lines of the At A Glance, Katja Schunneman, or other photographic company designs. It has given us more to look at and consider. I will say that there are some amazing looks presented here and we deeply appreciate all the work that went into them. Thank you and I’ll try to comment to help out as much as I can in this last day.
Thanks again,
