1st Logo (March 19, 2005-2009)

Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with some silver signs that make a drawing of a king's detailed face with a sword closed on the right. Below, the scripted text "Darius" writes itself, and "FILMS" in Times-like font appears below. The king shines and blinks.

Variant: On Cool Money, the logo is still on a white background and "FILMS INC." appears bigger and stacked.

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: The closing theme.

Availability: Seen on early works by Darius Films, like Cool Money and the pilot of Fugget About It! (2008).

2nd Logo (September 17, 2010-)

• 

Visuals: On a white background with a surface, a king card drops down into the middle of the screen. Then two other cards, a queen card and a jack card, appear from behind the king card. They then jump out from behind the king card. The king card suddenly zooms up, while the two other cards flip to their backs. The king card follows suit. The cards then switch places and the jack and queen cards flip to their fronts and leave, leaving only the king, which flips to it's front and flips again to form the Darius Films logo, which is an abstract drawing of the king's detailed face from before and the name below, with "DARIUS" in Trajan and "FILMS" in Engravers Gothic.

Variant: There exists a short variant where the card drops, moves a bit then flips up to form the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: For the regular version, an accordion tune (somewhat sounding like French or Italian music) along with the sounds of the cards. For the variant, the closing theme of the show.

Availability: The long version is seen on The Intruders and A Beginner's Guide To Endings. The variant was seen on Fugget About It.
