| | Posted: | | | | It seems to have generally been accepted that we omit corporate indicators from studio names but it has yet to be added to the rules or the studio guideline thread.
So what do you think. Should we definitely leave them out?
Some examples:
LLC, Ltd., Co., Inc. | | | | Stuart | | | | Last edited: by Gadgeteer |

| | Posted: | | | | Just to display my dual personality  I think 'Company' is sometimes an integral part of the studio/production name. I am saying this after having a think about some examples... 'Samuel Goldwyn Company' I'm not sure how I feel about seeing that displayed as just 'Samuel Goldwyn'. It seems less of a company and more of a person credit in the revised form. Similarly you have David Geffen Company, David Gerber Company etc etc etc Another one that I was thinking of was Corporation. What would we do with the likes of 'The Mirisch Corporation'? Credit it as 'The Mirisch' or Mirisch'? Sorry to throw a small spanner in the works, I still stronly believe we should lose Ltd.,LLC,inc. etc However there may need to be exceptions. Thoughts anyone? | | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Company and Corporation aren't really the same kind of thing, they are part of the proper noun of the name, not legal extensions. You're right, they should stay. |

For example, the distributor of Shaw Brothers catalog in Hong Kong is "Intercontinental Video Limited", aka IVL. Limited is part of their name. It needs to be decided on a case by case basis. |

Isn't that just the problem? Decided by whom? By us, of course!  But seriously, I think "as credited" is fair enough. |

| | Posted: | | | | And where do you derive As credited from, Logos, Opening credits or closing as appropriate, Copyright? For example, typically Logo Universal Credits Universal Pictures © Universal City Studios, Inc. Choose your weapon Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Text credits when presented otherwise logos, if that's all you see. Hmmmm....less than 48 hours before you responded to one of my posts, contrary to your earlier assertion, that you will not. Just can't help yourself!  | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

Skip I would say opening cards/credits, when possible. It's the end credits when the legalese starts to appear... Let's face it, the big guns (Universal, Fox, Paramount, Warner, etc.) are pretty easy to decide. It's the smaller producers, those likely to have Limited or Company as part of their title, that are under discussion. |

Just can't help yourself! And I did so in a professional and polite way. Which is more than I can say for your response. You have self-esteem issues that force you to constantly make disparaging and insulting comments? Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | The exceptions that have been quoted so far have "Company" or "Limited" as part of their name and not the abbreviated: "Co." or "Ltd."
Therefore, if we only excludie the abbreviated corporate indicators (Ltd, Co. Corp LLC etc) the exceptions would retain their full name.
Seems fairly simple to me. | | | | Stuart | | | | Last edited: by Gadgeteer |

Skip My only point was that you told the community that you would no longer respond to my posts. I was so looking forward to that, and now you've spoiled it all by going back on your word!  | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |
