4K - 20th Digital Studio 2023 Logo - Night/Dark Variant

Logo created to complete the rebranding of Zero Day Fox/Fox Digital Studio (2008-2020) to 20th Digital Studio(2023+), in line with it's position as a subsidiary of 20th Century Studios and Walt Disney Studios, following the 2019 acquisition.
The logo first debuted at SXSW in March 2023 alongside Appendage (coming soon)

ALTERNATE VERSION - • 4K - 20th Digital Stud...
The result is a creative collaboration between myself and the team at 20th Digital Studios - The team were keen on differentiating this logo while retaining the familiarity associated with 20th Century, we achieved this by giving the text a more metallic/gold appearance, opposed to the more familiar polished yellow stone as well as changing up the lighting.
As with the previous versions there is a day and a night variant, allowing for flexibility and thematic pairing with various 20th Digital Studio Production, as well as the opportunity to further adapt the logo with additional or alternative grading, depending on the requirements.
Unfortunately I no longer had access to the previous working files from 2013 so this require a complete reworking from the ground up including a brand new 64 square kilometer (24 Square Mile) recreation of Los Angeles City, ranging from the 20th Century Studio lot to the Hollywood Hills.
We experimented with many different time of day scenarios and real-world sun positions, and ultimately settled on a dusty sunrise with a non real-world sun position for more dramatic lighting. As well as an overcast night time setting with a dramatic and threatening cloudscape.
The work was primarily completed in 3DS Max and rendered with V-Ray.
Created between October and December 2022.
4096x2160 (1.90:1) @23.976fps
Special thanks to David Worthen Brookes, Monique McNeil and Miles Alva for working closely with me throughout the project.
Keep an eye out for upcoming films with the new 20th Digital Studio logo coming soon!

Will there be an open-matte cut of this logo?

[@RobertHoltby]

This is, in essence "Open Matte" in that this is the full extent of the rendered frame produced, and is displayed here entirely uncropped. The full output resolution of the file is 4096x2160 (1.90:1) opposed to 3840x2160 (16:9) affording an additional 256 horizontal pixels, making it more adaptable to cropping for multiple formats.

@@RobertHoltby Oh. I did see it zoomed out further than usual before the full animation of the logo was revealed.

[@seanshackleton3070]

Pretty good logo, but kinda wasted in light of 20th Digital's closure tbh
