Background

This is the vanity plate of Marc Dworkin & Sean W. Cunningham.

Logo (October 22, 2016-June 29, 2023)

Visuals: In an 8-bit video game landscape with a muddy-like ground surrounded by a bunch of big trees and small grass with a giant castle in front against a blue-purple gradient sky with big clouds that are seen moving, there are two young boys (possibly younger versions of Marc and Sean) on the left and right respectively, wearing red and blue knight gear with the aforementioned colored capes, dueling against pencils. The boy on the left wears a green striped shirt with black shorts while the boy on the right wears a white tank top and long blue pants. Above them are the 3D words "DWORKINGHAM" in a college-esque font in a light blue-white-magenta gradient color with a black border around it, trailing out from a purple color behind as some small shines appear sparkling on it. Below it is the small 8-bit word "PRODUCTIONS" in a black border with white-green-light blue gradient colors inside. At the bottom of the screen, "-PRESS START BUTTON-" appears blinking in a white 8-bit font. A few seconds later, a big white flash appears hitting the pencils out of position.

Trivia: This logo was actually done by an artist named Snowkie. A contest was held by Sean W. Cunningham on the Australian graphic-based website 99designs, where he attached a brief note explaining a basic example of the type of an 8-bit game look. Cunningham also collaborated with designers to refine their ideas. 44 different entries made it in against 17 designers, with Snowkie's entry being the winner. Cunningham praised his design as "fast, creative, and a great attitude." You can find the contest link here.
