Film & Entertainment Branding
Disside is a Hyderabad film and media branding studio that designs identities, openers and websites for production houses and media companies. A studio’s mark has to work as a still logo and as a few seconds of film. We have done this for houses known for their storytelling, and for newer studios finding their look.
What does film and media branding include?
The work usually includes a logo that can be still and animated, a visual system, title and showreel graphics, stationery, a pitch deck and a website that puts films first. We designed a playful identity for D2R Films, the production house founded by Raj & DK, whose work includes Go Goa Gone, The Family Man, Stree and Farzi. We also designed a cinematic identity for Over the Wicket Films, and brand systems for Knot Studio and Life’s Sweet.
A showreel site needs to be fast, to let the work lead, and to make it easy for a producer or a brand to get in touch. We design it that way, and we design the opener so the same mark can live at the front of a film.
How do we work with production houses?
We start with how the studio wants to be remembered, then we design a mark and a motion behaviour, then the applications. Identity, motion and film and a website are the usual three. Campaigns and posters can be part of a wider brief, for the studio itself or for a selected project.
Hyderabad has a growing film and advertising community, and we also work with studios and photographers who brief us from other Indian cities or from abroad. Life’s Sweet, for example, is a Denver-based project. Reviews of marks and cuts happen on a call; files are delivered ready for an editor to drop into a timeline.
Who is this for?
Film and advertising production houses, content studios, photographers and media companies that need a master brand, and sometimes sub-brands for a channel or a show. See also our campaigns page when the brief is a brand campaign rather than a studio identity.

Film & Entertainment branding FAQs
Do you design logos for film production houses?
Yes. We design production-house logos that work as a still mark and as an animated opener, for example for D2R Films, the house behind work such as Go Goa Gone. The mark has to hold up on a visiting card and in the first seconds of a film.
Can you design a showreel website for a studio?
Yes. We design fast websites that put your films and trailers first, with simple project pages and clear contact details for producers and brands. The site should load quickly and get out of the way of the work. We also set the usual search basics — titles, descriptions, a sitemap.
Do you design film posters and title graphics?
We design brand and campaign material for studios, and we can support poster design and title graphics for selected projects. A full poster for a theatrical release is a brief of its own, and we will say when that is in scope. Title-inspired type and screen graphics are already part of identities such as Over the Wicket Films.
How long does a production-house identity take?
A focused identity, an opener and a website often takes four to eight weeks, depending on how much motion and how many applications are included. An animation-only opener can be faster. We plan around festivals, launches or a reel you already have a date for.
What should a Hyderabad studio budget for this branding?
Film and media branding is scoped as a branding project, which typically starts from ₹1–3 lakh depending on identity, motion and whether a website is included. A simple mark and a short opener sit at one end of that range; a full system with a site sits at the other.
Can you work with a production house outside Hyderabad?
Yes. We work from Hyderabad with studios in other Indian cities and abroad. Life’s Sweet, for example, is based in Denver. Reviews of marks, openers and sites happen on a call. Files are delivered in the formats an editor or a designer on your side already uses, so the identity can go straight into a timeline or a deck.
Do you also brand a media company’s channels or shows?
Yes, when that is the brief. A media company often needs a master brand and quieter sub-brands for a channel or a show, plus on-screen graphics that audiences will recognise. We design those as a family, so a show can have its own personality without looking as if it came from a different company.
Which film and media studios has Disside designed for?
Our work includes D2R Films, Over the Wicket Films, Knot Studio and Life’s Sweet. Each project is in our work section. D2R needed a playful identity that could also move; Over the Wicket needed a cinematic one built from title-style type.
Will the logo animation be something our editor can use?
Yes. We deliver openers and motion files in formats that drop into a standard edit, at the lengths and aspect ratios you need, along with a still version of the mark. A short motion guide can come with them, so later films use the same timing and behaviour.
