Remake version of the classic Walt Disney Pictures logo in 4K.
It was by re-watching and rediscovering, after many years, great classics and sadly forgotten Walt Disney Pictures films, that the desire came to me to adapt this everlasting logo which has rocked audience generations. The visual brand being absolutly timeless, the task was not easy to modernize, the challenge was here. When I saw that horrible CGI 100 Years logo they made for the anniversary (this is only my opinion) ...I decided to run into a new Remake Logo project featuring a rework of the original one.
I started my work based on "The Black Cauldron" 4K Restoration to match the very first and original logo animation timing and have a first idea for the color base for my own version.
For the background, I created a deep blue color shade similar to the one currently used for Disney+. A bit like the original in a way, since Disney has never stopped to lighten that blue color over the years. I also created a paper grain effect to remind that one of the studio's greatest skills is above all drawing. The Walt Disney Studio's major projects are above all born on paper before reaching the screen.
I decided to make the logo much bluer (I found that particular aspect kind of soothing and that contributed to change its look without really changing it), and not to imitate what will be done later in more recent versions of the logo where the "Walt Disney" words are written in pure white.
About the effects specially created for this graphic overhaul:
Just as all the other logos that I previously remade/modernized, this one is also fully remade and rendered from scratch. I completely redrew the castle, it has now perfectly clean and clear shape. I also animated and created new elements such as floating flags (which were static in the original) and a Pixie Dust effect. These elements are animated in traditional "hand drawn" frame-by-frame animation in reference to the animation the Walt Disney Studios have used for many years. I gave to the "Walt Disney" letters some volume to remind that Disney also does 3D CGI animation. A shadow also appears under the logo to add depth to the entire presentation.
I know, the logo does not fundamentally change that much, I agree. I really tried to stay close as possible to the original, my goal is not to distort it but simply to give it a sort of second youth.
Each layer, blue background, textures, logo font, animation frames (Flags and Pixie Dust)...etc were created on Procreate. Then, each one of these layers was combined and animated on Vegas Pro.
If the visual does not really change, I have nevertheless allowed myself some freedom. You will probably have noticed that I reworked a little bit the original gorgeous 1985 music jingle for my remake version. I added more instruments and musical effects to make it more intense, more stereo and less flat. A Pixie Dust sound effect has also been added. I also presented an alternative "Walt Disney Animation Studios" version that I made, but of which I am a little less proud. To mark the difference with the previous one, some elements are different and the yellowy color adds a little retro side to the whole thing, I wanted to try something different. You will also see from the "making of" at the end of the video, that a 3rd version was also under study but was ultimately abandonned.
This Walt Disney Pictures logo project is actually another entry in a long series of Logo Remakes that I regularly upload on this channel. I hope you'll enjoy this new one. Feedbacks are always very much appreciated!
