Horror title styles

Below I have taken the time to test out different fonts and colours to see what would be suitable for our horror movie title '31'. I have evaluated four fonts and have shown reasons to why we considered using these fonts and reasons to why we have rejected using them.

Possible styles for horror movie title:


Style 1:
For some reasons, this is a good style to use for our horror movie title as the colour red can represent Halloween in some ways. Red is the colour of fire and blood, so it is associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. However, we have all disaggred on the font as it doesn't really express the fact that the film is based around the horror genre.

Style 2:
We have decided not to use this style for our horror movie title. This is because blue is the colour of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolises trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth and heaven. Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue it strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. It is also mostly used to promote products or servies related to cleanliness.

Style 3:
We have decided as a group that this is the style of font we are going to use for our horror movie name. This is simple because the handwriting has horror written all over it and the colours represent Halloweena lot. Orange has a very high visibility, so you can use it to catch attention and highlight the important elements. It will draw the audience in. Black is associated with power, elegance, formality, death, evil, and mystery. Black usually has a negative connotation which is what we are aiming for. Combined with orange, black gives a very aggressive colour scheme.

Style 4:
Our last idea was the easiest to say no to as the font is very comedy like and it does not represent the horror genre in any way. Purple as a colour does not have much of a relationship with horror/Halloween as it is associated with royalty, symbolizes power, nobility, luxury, and amibiton. It conveys wealth and extravagance. Purple is associated with wisdom, disnity, indepedence, creativity, mystery, and magic.
