One Cool Films is the film division of One Cool Group, founded in 2013.

1st Logo (April 3, 2014-)


Visuals: The sequence starts off with a shot of a rocky ground. There, it starts to crumble, revealing lava in it. A few seconds later, the camera cuts to a close up of the crumbling rocks. The camera then cuts to the lava rocks now flying, with flames on them. The camera then cuts to the rocks then attaching to them. The sequence then cuts to a zoom out of the rocks forming, which zooms out even more to reveal a flower like logo, with the company's name carved on seven stones. The logo shines.

Variants:

  • A later variant exists, where the flower is now different, with the company name under the symbol, with the text "ONE COOL FILM PRODUCTION LTD." fading in under the Chinese text.
  • On certain films like The Trough, the logo is shortened.
  • On Men on the Dragon and Tracey, the company name reads "One Cool Pictures".
  • A variant without the English company name is seen on Triumph in the Skies.
  • A still variant exists on Lazy Hazy Crazy, Raging Fire, and Anita.
  • A print variant exists on Heartfall Arises.
  • Another print variant exists on Meow, where the company name instead reads "ONE COOL CMC", and the Chinese text different.
  • At the end of The Mitchells vs. the Machines, the logo is in English and is illustrated in Katie-vision.
  • On Zero to Hero and Warriors of Future, the logo is in English, and it is still.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The sounds of rock crumbling, which is followed by dramatic synth notes as the logo is revealed, with a faint whoosh while the logo shines. Otherwise, the opening/closing theme of the movie, or none.

Availability: The earlier variant appears on Naked Ambition 2 and Golden Chickensss, and with the later variant debuting on 12 Golden Ducks.

2nd Logo (May 24, 2024-)



Visuals: The screen flashes to reveal a spark on a bokeh background full of out-of-focus circles, which later dissolves into more circles. The circles then merge as the circles move to the center of the screen, and demerge while moving to the left and right corners of the screen, forming the stylized silver text "one cool", with the two "o"'s in "cool" connected. The finished background is set on a gray background with an orange gradient, with a reflective surface below. The text shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: It debuted on The Garfield Movie. Currently used in tandem with the previous logo.
