Favorite Logos part 3

Hollywood Studios is a park which sets out to evoke the spirit of Hollywood in the 20s and 30s. This was a town ripe with talent and enthusiasm, where a young actor or actress could arrive in Hollywood with a suitcase in their hand and a twinkle in their eye. One minute you're a nobody, the next you're in pictures. Simply put, Hollywood studios wants to be the Hollywood that never was but always will be.

I really like this logo thanks to it's 30's style, classy font, And it's edges of gold, which remind me of a logo you'd see on a movie star or studio's gates back in the day. I'm confused as to why Disney decided to include Mickey in this logo. He isn't even dressed as a Director. He's just there.

The final logo for the last of the Disney Parks evokes a feeling of discovery and naturalism, which is what Animal Kingdom is all about. It's the most overlooked of all 4 and also the least visited due to it's lack of attractions, but it's perhaps the most well themed, with every bit of the park telling stories of conservation, the beauty of the natural world and it's inhabitants, and what we can do to help the, survive.
The "animal" top half of the logo is rough around the edges, looking like something you would see carved into a wooden stick. The "kingdom" half has a little more flourish and poise, but still retains a rough look, to symbolize the beauty and regality of the animal kingdom, but also it's rough and tough exterior.
