Further Research A lot of logos have equal width and height, and a lot

seem to incorporate a circular shape. This can help make them easier to place and use, such as in icons or on posters. This also makes them look neater.

Companies may use a historical background to the logo for their film company. For example, Warner Bros. logo incorporates a shield with the letters WB on it, with a banner over the top. The shield resembles a family's coat of arms.
