In this free contest, your task is to design a logo for Burton/Wolfe Entertainment, a film and entertainment company (i.e. TV, film, internet, etc..). Burton/Wolfe Entertainment is a new, boutique Hollywood production company created by renowned Actor/Director LeVar Burton (of Star Trek and Reading Rainbow fame) and longtime Producer/Executive Mark Wolfe. The purpose of their company is to tell stories, and to do so via all entertainment media possible: Films, Television, Web Content, DVD and whatever platform tomorrow brings.

Their team is working with Worth1000 in order to seek the most innovative and talented artists to create their Company logo! Guidelines for what the logo should "say" comes directly from the company's two founders view on the fundamental purpose of media and the arts today.

Above all, they see themselves as Storytellers. All the people who make up the Hollywood entertainment business are the modern day descendants of the first cave-dwellers who drew pictures on walls in order to say something about themselves and their world. The telling of stories, and indeed all of the Arts, are the single biggest distinction between Humankind and the animal world. No other species creates for the pleasure of creation and the beautification of their world. Those in the arts are the children of painters, druids, sculptors, authors, poets, actors and grandfathers through the centuries who passed on information to others through the wide eyes of those seeking out entertainment, information and wisdom. Movies and Television delight, frighten, engage, inform and inspire billions of people around the world.

Burton/Wolfe Entertainment is committed to carry on those millennial old traditions of storytelling in a responsible, enlightening, and above all entertaining way. Their company's logo should reflect those aspirations. Neither pretentious nor cliche, they seek a graphic logo that can speak volumes when placed at the beginning of a film or on the business cards and stationary of their company.

When thinking of a design, think also of what that image can become when animated (as is done when placed on the head of a film) and how the tone of that logo sets up the entire movie going experience into which their audience is about to be immersed.

CLIENT RULES

• Logos should contain the words "Burton/Wolfe Entertainment" but it is not required.
  

Note from the client:
"Our logo COULD contain Burton/Wolfe Entertainment within the logo it self ala 20th Century Fox's logo, or it could contain it "near" it ala NBC's Peacock with the words NBC below that. In the former case, every time you see the logo you see the words. In NBC's case, you can have the peacock without the words if you choose. Anyway, we are open to both."
