Background

Visuals: On a black background, there is a stylized drawing of a bear wearing a sailor hat. Below it, there's the company name.

Variants:

  • The later variant just shows the name and it's a bit bigger.
  • An inverted version exists.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: None or the opening/closing theme.

Availability: It was seen on independent films such as Listen Up Philip and Light from Light. The inverted version appears on Strange Angel on CBS All Access. Strangely doesn't appear on the films Never Goin' Back or A Ghost Story, despite Lowery being involved in them.

2nd Logo (January 24, 2020-)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a silhouetted ghost-like look fade in, as a white border zooms out from it. Then, it flickers a bit, showing some ears on top and revealing the company name underneath. It stays still for a bit before it cuts to black.

Trivia: The ghost is inspired by a theatrical poster of Lowery's supernatural drama film A Ghost Story.

Variant: At the end of The Green Knight, only the company name is shown.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Some analog TV tuning and static sounds followed by a whoosh at the beginning, some crickets and neon sign sounds, or silence.

Availability: It first appeared on the independent film Miss Juneteenth, and was later seen at the end of The Green Knight, though the print logo with the silhouette was used on promotional material for said film. Strangely, This logo didn't appear on Peter Pan and Wendy despite the fact that Lowery directed it.
