31st Street Studios
I recently took on designing the logo and website for 31st Street Studios in Pittsburgh, a new movie studio located just outside of downtown in the Strip District. Pittsburgh’s becoming quite the hub for the movie industry, and 31st Street Studios is part of the new wave of filmmakers in town. The building was once a movie studio, but was bought by a real estate developer who was hoping to turn it into rental property, but Gateway Entertainment Studios swooped in to reclaim the building and hopes to turn the studio into a major player in the entertainment field worldwide. The studio has already shot many commercials and movies and is currently in production with a major blockbuster movie on deck.
I worked with the owner to create a logo that utilized a symbolic aspect of the movie company’s previous incarnation (a shield from their logo) along with a film strip banner. We included a stylized 31st Street Bridge with the actual studio building tucked away underneath. I also redeveloped their website using WordPress with customizations to their theme, creating a website with video and image galleries, an entertainment news ticker that broadcasts the Google RSS feed of the entertainment industry’s current headlines, testimonials from local film industry professionals, a visual representation of the studio’s filmography and much, much more.
