We are the field leader in bringing corporate logos to life through animation, which we can achieve by a number of methods depending upon what is required and where you intend to project your animated logo. It has become common and very cost efficient to produce wallpaper DVDs which have animated logos and subtly altering backgrounds, combined with specific advertorial footage which can be set to autoplay upon insertion into the DVD player and then auto-loop ad infinitum. These images can then be used in conjunction with a DVD projector to projection onto a screen or any suitable surface. It is possible to produce a very bright image, which is also adaptable, as once the basic animations are created, it is fairly easy and relatively cheap to produce new DVDs which feature special promotional events. Once the equipment is installed then it is a very simple matter to insert a new DVD. Obviously using a method such as this to display animated corporate logo projections means that the system can also be used to show DVD films, or with the appropriate connections, in place of animated mascots or emblems, live sports events can also be shown.

To animate and project a club mascot or emblem is fairly straightforward, as is the process of animating corporate logos for projection purposes. We would require a reasonably high quality version of the logo in question to check its suitability for projection. Often, as brand logos are designed for traditional print purpose there are certain amendments which must be made to give a good result when projected as a static or animated image. The background should be usually 100% black, for instance, which avoids the projected image showing up with a background. If a projection screen is being used, then perhaps this is not the case, as it may be desired to have an animated background. Certain logos require the addition or amendment of keylines... please email us a reasonable high quality version of your corporate logo, or club mascot as a first stage. This image should be .jpg or .gif format and no larger then 1.5mb. Please be sure to include the filename and type when emailing, and Mac users should be aware that we are PC based and do not require a preview. If you do not know how to disable this then please do not worry as we can deal with it this end. If amendments are required we will advise you as to what is required. Our in-house art department can make the changes for you if required.

Upon site of your artwork we will be able to discuss your requirements. For simple jobs, we may suggest that a simple image projector is used with a rotating slide, or a programmable gobo projector which can move the image around several points in the room, with image rotation and such like. This can be extremely effective and eye-catching. Effects such as these are usually not used in conjunction with a traditional projection screen and would generally "throw" your brand logo across the walls, ceiling and floors. Of course, the two styles of projection can used in conjunction with each other. We at E.L.P.H. (a subsidiary of War productions Ltd) are happy to hire or rent equipment as required. We are also able to offer very competitive prices on sales and installation of animated logo projection equipment from our central Edinburgh base in Scotlands' Lothian region. If you already have the existing equipment, we are able to offer a DVD / gobo creation service at competitive prices. Turnaround times & prices will vary depending upon your exact requirements.

To discuss your requirements, please give us a call on 0131 558 3824, or email us at elph@warpro.co.uk.

For your general information to purchase a good quality, basic projector suitable for use with a DVD player will cost around £850 including VAT. It is possible to buy cheaper units but as replacements lamps usually cost in excess of £250 we find it uneconomical to buy the cheapest units available which tend to require lamp replacements after only a few hundred hours. Our recommended basic projector offers 5000 hour lamp life in economy mode, and we have found them to very reliable. DVD players can be bought for as little as £20. Image projectors suitable for use with a static or rotating brand logo or club mascot will cost in the region of £350 to buy or £25 per day to hire. For artwork, gobo creation, logo animation and DVD creation we charge £40 per hour. These prices are a guide only. Please call for an exact quote.
