behind the name and logo :
From our founder, Paul De La Cerda:
I had a conversation with my dad about creating a production company. I was struggling on coming up with a name that felt unique and had a great story behind it. Tough, right? It was a big deal for me being that I didn’t really know where to start with any of it. Making a business, LLC’s, taxes, all of it.
I had a vision and just wanted to create.
My Jefe (I would call him “boss” in Spanish) asked me: “Well, what movie do you like? Let’s start there”
After thinking hard about that question, one scene popped in my head. Rocky IV. The training montage sequence of Rocky vs The Russian Fighter Ivan Drago. May sound silly but let me explain…
During the final training montage sequence, we see a striking contrast between both fighters. Drago having everything he needs in the world to succeed. Money, top of the line training facility, equipment, scientists, and drugs.
Rocky on the other hand, had none of it. Just a shack, few of his fellow trainers since the beginning and the outdoors. That contrast always resonated with me. I felt like I could relate to Rocky.
After months of rigorous training, Rocky runs up the mountain in a beautiful ending to the montage and yells “Draagooooo”! The shot wraps around him while the sun begins to set in the beautiful snowy mountains. Rocky was ready to take on his opponent.
My dad was a man of a few words. He says: How about “Encima”?
“What does that mean?” I asked.
It means “above”.
Encima Media was born.
Onto the logo.
We wanted it to tell a story—simple yet distinctive, just like the name. It’s more than just a design; it’s a legacy, a tribute to the hard work of our families who paved the way for future generations to succeed.
Our logo represents exactly that.
The "M" symbolizes the mountain Rocky conquered—the same challenge we all must face. The top section of the diamond stands bolder than the rest, representing our ambition and relentless pursuit of something greater.
