Background

This is Frank Darabont's production company. Until 2012, it was known as "Darkwoods Productions" and it originally developed The Walking Dead for AMC.

Darkwoods Productions

(October 31, 2010-March 18, 2012)

Logo: On a black background, we see a gray-scale picture of 7 zombies, 5 are seen clearly and the other 2 are behind them in silhouettes. In the center, we see the words "DARKWOODS" and under it is "PRODUCTIONS".

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme.

Availability: Seen on seasons 1 and 2 of The Walking Dead.

Idiotbox

1st Logo (October 12, 2014-March 29, 2015)

Logo: We see some white pixels which cover the screen. A portion of the pixels are black and read "idiotbox" with what looks like a game box with an antenna on top covering "box". The antennas have an electrical bolt which moves up, down and up again. The logo has a vignette effect.

FX/SFX: The electrical bolt. Appears to be limited animation.

Music/Sounds: The end-title theme of the program.

Availability: Seen on season 5 of The Walking Dead.

2nd Logo (October 11, 2015-April 3, 2016)

Logo: We see a gamepad with designs of large robot monsters (called "mecha") and some robot flying bats on a wooden table. In the middle is a screen. The last logo then pops up inside the screen.

FX/SFX: Just the logo appearing.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last logo.

Availability: Seen on season 6 of The Walking Dead.

3rd Logo (October 23, 2016- )

Logo: We see a new Idiotbox logo on the top of an arcade game, which appears on an old-style TV. A purple flash occurs in the logos direction and a character on the right jumps up while the red arrow clicks on "VERY EASY". This happens in a city setting. The screen glitches and cuts to another screen with the character now holding a sword and "You are Idiotbox" and "Time 001" below.

Trivia: This clearly takes inspiration from the title screen of Mega Man 2.

FX/SFX: Very cool arcade-styled graphics, especially for the period.

Music/Sounds: Same as the last two logos.

Availability: Seen on season 7 and the future seasons of The Walking Dead.
