Background

AB2 Digital Pictures, originally Impact Pictures, is a Canadian independent film production company founded in 2001 by Jeremy Bolt and Paul W. S. Anderson. Aside from Anderson's film projects (including the Resident Evil film series), the company has also been involved in a number of TV and independent productions.



Impact Pictures

1st Logo (September 10, 2004)

Visuals: Same as the second Davis-Films logo, but the text on the rhombus is already there and there's a second, solid rhombus with the word "IMPᐱCT" and the word "CANADA" below conjoined to the rhombus.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme.

Availability: Seen only on Resident Evil: Apocalypse.

2nd Logo (September 7, 2006-September 25, 2009)


Visuals: There is a lightbulb in the dark. The screen fades into more closer shots of it, as it starts lighting up. Then a moth flies to the lightbulb, and gets zapped by the lightbulb while it surrounds with swirling sparks as close-ups of the action are shown. Later on, there is the same lightbulb with bloodmarks making the words "IMPACT PICTURES" on it. The camera gets a bit far from the lightbulb as it flashes brighter.

Variant: A print version exists on closing credits, which is merely the name in two lines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Sounds of the action, mostly zapping and the lightbulb being touched, and a camera flash sound when the lightbulb flashes.

Availability: The full version was seen exclusively on D.O.A. (2006). The closing version appears on Resident Evil: Extinction and Pandorum; on the latter, the closing version shares the screen with the Overture Films and Constantin Film logos.

3rd Logo (September 10, 2010-January 27, 2017)


Visuals: In space, a silhouette of a planet appears. The camera zooms out to reveal the full planet, as well as the text "I M P A C T P I C T U R E S".

Variants:

  • On Pompeii, it has the word "POMPEII" added below the logo.
  • On Resident Evil: Afterlife, the entire text is replaced by "DᐱᐯIS FILMS" and "{[color|blue|IMPᐱCT CᐱNᐱDᐱ}}".
  • On Resident Evil: Retribution, the text is in the same font used by Impact Pictures and "PICTURES" replaces "CANADA".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie, or silence.

Availability: Seen on Musketeers, Pompeii and Resident Evil films from Afterlife to The Final Chapter.
