Our Logo
MPTF has had a range of wonderful logo designs throughout its history. In 2012, MPTF refreshed its logo as part of a vibrant new look. We retained the film iconography of our recent logos as a nod to our legacy. In so many ways and for many years to come, film will represent our industry and our community. Our new logo is built from clips that celebrate change and color and feel more like film: flexible, fluid, and transparent. It’s a modern interpretation of film imbued with the spirit of a new generation that embraces the future we are creating.
