==History==
New Eden Pictures was founded in 2013 by Gabe Frost as an independent media company, focusing on producing and financing projects. Their first production was the horror drama Dark Days, which released on October 11, 2013 to critical and commercial success.
In June 2016, New Eden Pictures announced their intent to acquire and distribute independent films and television shows, including foreign media. They signed a deal with Universal Pictures Home Entertainment to distribute any films that was self-distributed by the company for home media.
In December 2017, New Eden Pictures launched New Eden Television, dedicated to producing television content. The next year, in September 2018, they launched New Eden Interactive, a video game publishing arm dedicated to publishing indie games for consoles and PC.
On July 9, 2020, New Eden Animation was launched. Their first films were the film adaptations of the Aster book series.
On January 21, 2022, A24 and New Eden announced a joint venture between the two companies called A24 Animation. The division was to oversee A24's animated projects, including theatrical features.
In December 2022, Arry Frost, Gabe's younger sister, joined the company as co-president.
In 2023, the company financed the final 3 Objectverse films (Deca-Man and the Suicide Squad, Cheese Man: Edge of History, and Blockysworld: The Beginning and The End).
On January 7, 2024, New Eden Pictures signed a deal with Lionsgate Home Entertainment to distribute their films for home media, after their deal with Universal expired.
==Logo==
The logo depicts a silhouette of a tree with barely any leaves, with the words "New Eden Pictures" (written in Times New Roman) beneath it.
Since Dark Days, the company features an on-screen logo animated by Devastudios. The logo opens above a tree in a plain field also scattered with trees, craning down as two birds make a loop-de-loop. Then, the background goes black, as the words "New Eden Pictures" flash on-screen (wordmark is omitted in some films). This logo is omitted in some films.
A widescreen version exists here.
