Fake Empire Productions

Background
Fake Empire Productions is a production company owned by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage. It was originally formed in 2003 as College Hill Pictures, before being renamed to its current insignia in 2010, which comes from a joke regarding their series, saying that they make "the fake versions of things".

Thick lines are made directly below and after a space above the words. Pencil scribblings, depicting key elements of a show, gradually appear in the empty space of the logo, differing with each show. There are also some details on the table, which also differ in each show.
