B Digital Studios three main competitors are: Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), Luma Pictures and Digital Domain. These competitors are visual effect production companies based in California, who offers animation and visual effects services for big budget
lm production studios. They are recognized as
some of the top animation and visual effects studios in the world for their award winning effects created for feature
lm and television. B Digital Studios competitors are ranked high based on the fact they
really dominate the market share, between the three main competitors, together they own about 30% of the market nationwide. Their strengths are they have clients already and they own a piece of the market already. The weaknesses of these competitors are they aren’t capitalizing on the opportunity to dominate the market or take on lower budget projects less than $500,000. B Digital Studios unique position of being able to produce the same quality work as the competition but on a smaller budget allows itself to not only compete in the visual effects industry as one of the top VFX studios but also presents the opportunity to become a outsource collaborative option for the competition.
T he brand, B Digital Studios, deenes itself as a digital post-production studio. Their services are oered through out the lm industry targeting lmmakers and lm production houses. In the minds of the customers, this is a valuable necessity worth including in a production budget, because having a reliable team to work with the experience and the skill is what makes the lms look good. Its value is in its unique position of having experience along with a portfolio of impressive work. The reputation of being able to help directors tell their story with the help of visual eects has put them in a position that shows them as a rising studio, but being able to continue to create impressive visuals. Even though the brand of B Digital Studios is relatively new, the brand will appear as a brand that will be quickly growing as the number 1 brand for digital post-production, focusing on green screen replacement and set extension. Consistently producing high quality, impressive visuals, and raising the bar in digital post-production in the sense of eectiveness will establish a worldwide brand that the lm industry will recognize.

Rather, we use them as an example and guideline for the standards we measure our communication to our target audience. To enhance awareness and remembrance for the B Digital Studios brand, these traits of our brand personality must apparent and presented clearly not only in every communication we produce, but also of everything we are and do.

The B Digital Studios logo is the most instantaneous exempliication of the company, the people, and the brand to the world. It is a valuable company asset that must be used consistently in the proper, approved forms. The B Digital Studios logo consists of two
elements — the B Digital Studios symbol and the B Digital Studios wordmark. In the preferred version, the B Digital Studios symbol and the text "B Digital in the wordmark appears in black with the text "studio" in red. In the alternate versions, the B Digital

typeset, recreated or altered, which could cause inconsistencies that dilute the impact of the power of the brand. In some instances when physically branding products (pens, software, accessories), where you are not able to ideally show the full B Digital Studios
logo due to space or process limitations, an exception may be made to allow use of the B Digital Studios wordmark and/or B Digital Studios symbol on its own.
To preserve the B Digital Studios logo’s integrity, always maintain a minimum clear space around the logo. This clear space isolates the logo from competing graphic elements such as other logos, copy, photography or background patterns that may divert attention. The minimum clear space for the B Digital Studios logo and the alternate horizontal logo is deened as the scale of the “BD” in the B Digital Studios symbol. This minimum space should be maintained as the logo is proportionally enlarged or reduced in size.
The B Digital Studios logo should appear in the lower right-hand corner, in full color, on a white background. Consistent placement in this location on communications materials helps build awareness of the B Digital Studios brand. Clear space from the bottom and right edge is equal to scale of the letters “BD,” as illustrated in the diagram. If the logo cannot be placed in the lower right corner, an acceptable alternate placement is the top left corner.
B DIGITAL STUDIOS | STYLE GUIDE
The B Digital Studios logo retains its visual strength in a wide range of sizes. However, when the logo is reproduced in print too small, it is no longer legible and its impact is diminished. The minimum size of the logo for print is determined by the width of the B Digital Studios wordmark, which should not be reproduced in a size smaller than 1.5"in width for the preferred logo.
The B Digital Studios logo should be reproduced in color whenever possible. The primary use for the B Digital Studios logo is the 2-color version—black and red. When color or printing prohibits this, it may be used in all black or reversed out to white. Please refer to the approved Color Palette section for speciic color values to use when reproducing the logo.
Incorrect use of the B Digital Studios logo compromises its integrity and effectiveness. Do not alter the B Digital Studios logo in any way. Do not animate, color, rotate, skew, or apply effects to the logo. Do not separate the elements. Never attempt to create the logo yourself, change the font, or alter the size or proportions. 1.
