Logos

The logos will be description, variants, dream logos, and trailers, and anniversary. Everyone can created and helped someone. After all, this is everyone.

## 20th Century Animation

### (2020-present)

Logo: Same as the 2020 20th Century Studios logo, but "STUDIOS" was replaced by "ANIMATION".

FX/SFX: Same as the 2020 and 2021 20th Century Studios logos. Like the 2020 20th Century Studios logo, was animated by PictureMill.

## Paramount Animation

### September 19, 2019-present

Logo: In a valley with a forest and a mountain in the distance, we see a young girl wearing a yellow shirt and purple pants bearing a striking resemblance to June from *Wonder Park*, named Star Skipper, standing on some rocks next to the valley's lake. She skips a rock across the lake. As the camera follows the rock, it transforms into a golden star. It continues to fly through the forest and up the hills, until we reach a colorful version of the famous Paramount Mountain in an orange morning environment surrounded by clouds. The other 21 stars, also in gold, encircle the mountain and the "Paramount" script in blue zooms out and takes its position. The final star thrown by the girl swoops by forming the word "Animation" in a handwritten blue script font on the bottom as the star takes its place. The byline fades in below.

Trivia: The logo and Star Skipper were designed by Christopher Zibach, who worked on DreamWorks' *Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie* as a lead visual development artist and art director. According to president Mireille Soria, the studio chose Star Skipper as their mascot because she "captured the magic" of the division. His work can be shown here.

Byline(s):

* September 19, 2019: "A VIaCOM COMPANY" in a blue color, set in the 2006 Viacom font.
* January 29, 2020-December 15, 2021: "A ViacomCBS Company" in a white color, set in Gotham Bold.

Variants:

* An open-matte 4:3 version exists.
* A faster, abridged version is seen on international Netflix prints of *The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run*.
* Starting in 2020, the background's shading is slightly different, grass was added next to the tree on the right, the star now leaves a sparkling trail as it flies through the forest and up the hills to the mountain, the word "Animation" is in a lighter blue color, and it has a more noticeable shine effect. This means that the original version that was published in the Variety article may have been a prototype.
* A blue ViacomCBS byline can be seen on the home page of Paramount Animation's official website, and as of November 2022, it still appears on the site despite ViacomCBS rebranding as Paramount Global back in February.

FX/SFX: Excellent CGI animation from Reel FX and ATK PLN.

Music/Sounds: We hear birds chirping and nature sounds, followed by water sounds, and some whooshes. Sparkling sounds are heard when the stone transforms into a star and when "Animation" appears. The 2011 Paramount Pictures fanfare by Michael Giacchino plays throughout.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* The ViacomCBS variant features different nature sounds. Wind is also audible and more sparkling and whoosh sounds are heard as the star flies through the forest. Then as the other 21 stars encircle the mountain, whooshes are heard. Also, the fanfare's last note has a longer echo. This can be heard on ATK PLN's Vimeo account, and it later debuted on *Rumble* (2021).
* Some future releases may instead use the opening theme of the movie or silence.

Availability: Current. It first appeared in an article published by *Variety*.

* The Viacom byline only appeared on the first trailer for *The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run*.
* The ViacomCBS byline debuted on the Super Bowl trailer for the aforementioned film, and technically made its theatrical debut on said film. It can also be seen on the trailers for *Rumble* (and the film itself) and on the About section of Paramount Animation's official website.
* The ViacomCBS byline in the ViacomCBS Raisonné typeface only appeared on the second trailer for the aforementioned *Rumble*.
* This does not appear on *PAW Patrol: The Movie* and *Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank*, as Paramount Animation had no involvement with either of these films; instead, both films use the 2011 Paramount Pictures logo.
	+ On an unrelated note, this also does not appear on *The Loud House Movie* and *Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie*, as they were both distributed by Netflix instead (though the former was originally intended to be released by Paramount Animation before it was removed from their release schedule).

## Walt Disney Pictures

### July 7, 2006-November 18, 2022

Logo: We fade into a view of a night sky, with a star somewhere on the screen and the clouds on the bottom. We then start flying down through the clouds with the camera. We then pan with the camera down to a very clear view of a river (including a sailboat), with a train running down a railroad track and some buildings nearby. We then fly with the camera past a flag with the Disney coat of arms, and pan down as we see some fireworks going off, only to find the castle completely redone in CGI. The fireworks are almost finished when we almost reach a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the fireworks finish, a very small dot (you will have to look closely if you want to see it) appears way closer to the castle and then moves to the right side. The dot then draws a line over the castle as we are slightly panning, and it is almost finished when we are in a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the dot is finished drawing the line, "WALT DiSNEY", in its well-known script (although it is slightly different to the 1985 font), fades in front of the main gate of the castle. When it does, "P I C T U R E S" fades in below the script. The logo then fades out.

Later Variant: Only the word "DiSNEY" is shown. Even though this was actually first used for the Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment logo back in 2007, who it will be on future releases, it would later replace the previous variant with the full company name on the studio's films, starting with *The Muppets*, and also will be on future films. The change was also made to fit into mobile phones and other devices, like the iPod.

Availability:

* Surprisingly, this logo appears on *Diary of a Wimpy Kid* (2021), *The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild*, and *Cheaper by the Dozen* (2022) instead of the 20th Century Studios logo. This is most likely due to all three movies moving from 20th Century Studios to Walt Disney Pictures during production.
* This logo is currently in the process of being phased out in favor of the next logo, but is expected to appear on some of the company's productions for some time.

### November 22, 2022-present

Logo: It starts off with a night sky, which is identical to the previous logo, except that when we fade in, the night sky has a different, enhanced look. The stars are also different and instead of panning down, we see that it's reflected in a river. A few seconds later, the largest star jumps out of the river, causing the scene to ripple around it. Then the camera pans up and goes through an updated version of the river and buildings as the train passes by on a bridge, now with a waterfall, trees and other elements in the foreground as we follow the star flying around the landscape. Once the camera gets to the waterfall, we pan up to reveal the Cinderella Castle from the back in platinum metallic before the star flies across it and fills it with color, as the camera rotates to the left and then works its way to the front of the castle while multiple colored fireworks are seen going off from all directions. The camera then reaches its standard position, revealing a new sunset background and a new river, and the arc (now colored in blue as well as being wider and brighter) draws from the left of the castle rather than from the right, with a star twinkling when it reaches its highest point. As the camera slowly zooms out, the "DiSNEY" script in chiseled silver writes in (which is once again in the 1985 font), then the camera comes to a stop before the logo fades out or cuts to black.

Trivia:

* According to an official D23 article, the flying star that jumps out of the river is meant to represent Tinker Bell from *Peter Pan*.
* The pan up/zoom shot to a castle through a forest/waterfall background is a homage to *Beauty and the Beast*, which opened with a similar shot.
* Like the previous logo, the train seen halfway through the logo might be a reference to Casey Jr. from *Dumbo*.
* At the end of the logo, Matterhorn Mountain from *Third Man on the Mountain* (and the Disneyland attraction Matterhorn Bobsleds) and Pride Rock from *The Lion King* can be seen on opposite sides of the castle. You can also see the lanterns from *Tangled* in the river, and the Will O' the Wisps from *Brave* on the grass.
* Three Mickey Mouse head-shaped fireworks are shown when the castle appears. Two more of those are also shown as the camera pans across the castle. This references the hidden Mickeys.
	+ Overall, there are five Mickey Mouse head-shaped fireworks in total.
* The castle's color that starts off platinum references the company's 100th anniversary in 2023, as platinum is a recurring color across the 100th anniversary branding of the company.
* The arc, which traditionally appears from right to left, appears from left to right in this logo, possibly homaging the 2006 print logo and the animated logo of Disney+. The arc, as well as the star's trail, is also in Disney+'s main color, blue.
* This was also used as the intro to *The Wonderful World of Disney* since 2022, albeit without the text forming.

Variants:

* A short variant exists where it starts on the arc drawing as the text is already formed. This can be seen on trailers. Unknown when this variant will start to appear at the end of films.
* For the logo's debut and its first official year from 2022-2023, after the text is drawn, a "100" is drawn in the same fashion. Then, the text "100 YEARS OF WONDER" (in spaced out letters to fit the width of "DiSNEY100") fades in below.
	+ There exists a version where the aforementioned text is absent, which is only shown in trailers. Furthermore, in the international version of the teaser trailer of *Elemental*, the trailer version had the afterformentioned text added.

FX/SFX: Entirely done in CGI animation that's even better than before. This was all created by Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) in collaboration with Disney Studios Content.

Music/Sounds: A longer and re-orchestrated version of the "When You Wish Upon a Star" theme from the previous logo, composed by Christophe Beck. We also hear the sounds of a whistling train as the train passes by, as well as the sounds of the waterfall rushing as we get close to it; the firework sounds are also made louder. At the last note, which is held longer, we also hear a choir singing and a three-note orchestral tune, followed by an ascending tune, ending in an orchestral hit.

Music/Sounds Variant: In Day 1 of the 2022 D23 Expo Daily recap livestream on Disney+, generic music was playing and it then transitions into the fanfare as the castle is seen.

Availability: Brand new.

* This logo made its debut in the Disney Studios & Animation and Pixar panel at the 2022 D23 Expo and appears in the trailers of the Disney+ original films *Hocus Pocus 2* and *Disenchanted* (both use the previous logo in the actual films), and the studio's live-action remake of *The Little Mermaid* (2023), which were all released on September 9, 2022 at the Expo, as well as the Day 1 livestream of D23 Expo Daily on Disney+, hosted by Ashley Eckstein and Jordan Fisher.
* It then appeared on the teaser trailer for *Elemental*, released on November 17, 2022.
* It then made its official theatrical debut with *Strange World* on November 23, 2022. The previous logo appears on the trailer.
* It then also appeared at the beginning of *Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules* and *Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again* instead of the 20th Century Studios logo, also the first and second Disney+ original to use that logo.

Legacy: Many consider it a love letter to Disney's filmography, and an appropriate successor to the previous logo, especially with their upcoming 100th anniversary and the studio's 40th anniversary.

## DreamWorks Animation

### 2018-April 11, 2022

Logo: On a black background, some light blue paint streaks fill onto the screen, as some painted clouds start appearing, creating a daytime scene. The scene then fizzles with a sunset setting, growing in size from the top-right, as more and more clouds appear, slowly becoming 3D. As we zoom through the clouds, they take on a dark blue tint as the scenery turns to nighttime. A navy blue energy forms a white moon in the center, and the redesigned Moon Child on a crescent carves onto the moon, forming the inverted print logo. Clouds blow in from the left and from the right, as the word "DREAMWORKS" forms from light streaks under the logo, followed by the Comcast byline wiping in, as some clouds disappear from the background while some remaining ones slowly move upwards.

Variants:

* On trailers, the byline is already there when the name forms. A notable exception is on *The Bad Guys* as it uses the film's custom variant.
* An early version exists where it has the print logo on a dark blue background, which was seen on the 2018 animated short *Bird Karma*. However, the logo is wobbling a bit.
	+ An inverted version of this appeared on *Trolls Holiday* (where this logo debuted).
* A still version exists.
* On some current prints of *Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit* (plastering the 2004-2009 logo), it is bylineless and fades out early.
* A 25 Years variant was used before the *Trolls World Tour* variant. In this variant, clips from past DreamWorks Animation films were shown, with a clip from the previous film being shown first, before Guy Diamond (from the *Trolls* franchise, voiced by Kunal Nayyar) appears, hanging from the top of the screen by his hair. The clips disappear, and Guy sneezes and covers it in silver glitter to reveal the logo.

Technique: CGI, mixing 2D and 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: It opens with a string/flute melody, sounding similar to the previous two logos' music, which then builds into a different triumphant fanfare, adapting some of the tone from the DreamWorks Pictures fanfare by John Williams, ending with a choir, similar to the choir from the 2nd Jim Henson Pictures logo. Composed by John Powell.

Music/Sounds Variants:

* The still version is silent.
* Sometimes, the opening theme of the movie would be used instead.
* None or the ending theme for the print and inverted print versions
* On some current prints of *Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit*, the opening theme from the 2004-2009 logo on the aforementioned film plays over it.
* On *Dragons: Dawn of New Riders*, the last part of the 2009 fanfare was used on the still version.
* A short version of the fanfare was used on the DreamWorks 25 Years logo, which is only used on *Trolls World Tour*.

Availability: Current and common, but it might not last.

* First seen on *Trolls Holiday*, albeit in a print version; the inverted version of this was seen on the shorts *Bird Karma* and *Bilby* (though online prints of the latter onward replaced it with a still version of the standard logo).
* The standard version was first revealed on the trailer for *How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World*, with the fully animated version debuting on the film itself, and also appeared on *Abominable*, *Spirit Untamed*, and as variants on *Trolls World Tour*, *The Croods: A New Age* and *The Bad Guys*, with the former being shown after the DreamWorks Animation 25 Years logo.
* This logo is also found at the end of *The Boss Baby: Family Business*, due to that film having the previous logo (albeit using a custom variant) at the beginning.

Legacy: This logo pays homage to the evolution of animation, evolving from hand-drawn 2D animation into the 3D animation of today.

### November 25, 2022-present

Logo: Over a clear night sky, the Moon Child from the previous logo stands up from their crescent, grabs it, and starts flying while the Moon vanishes into light. The camera then pans throughout the sky, They pass by various DreamWorks characters from various DreamWorks franchises and films; in order, the Bad Guys (from the film of the same name, all inside a car, with Mr. Wolf pointing a finger gun at the Moon Child, which they do back), Toothless (from *How to Train Your Dragon*, who flies out of a constellation and towards us), Po (from *Kung Fu Panda*, on an island with a temple, performing a gesture), Ted Templeton Jr. (from *The Boss Baby*, on the other side of the island, surrounded by toy blocks and a baby bottle), and Poppy (from *Trolls*, inside a bubble). The Moon Child high-fives her, causing the bubble to burst and the scene to transition into a sunny atmosphere. We see some hills and a riverbank in this scene. The Moon Child then passes by Shrek, Princess Fiona and Donkey (all from *Shrek*), the former two of whom they wave goodbye to. The Moon Child then flies above the clouds, into the cloud background from the last logo (with more defined clouds this time). As they stop in front of the moon, the Moon Child casts their rod, forming the print logo design. As this happens, the text from the previous logo fades in under the moon.

Trivia:

* The sequence lasts 32 seconds and took eight months to create.
* The child's silhouette is now ambiguous and gender-neutral, to appeal to more viewers.
* The child's crescent was a moon before, but now the logo is inside a full moon, rather than a crescent.
* The background of 2D art is meant to represent the matter that connects all life and makes up dreams.
* The DreamWorks characters shown will differ throughout every upcoming film. For example, if a character represented in the logo also appears in the following film, it will be replaced with another one from an unrelated franchise.
* The characters are also redesigned, like Po having less fur texture and Shrek's face being simplified. This was done so the characters would feel like they could exist within the same universe.

Technique: Advanced CGI animation, which incorporates elements from the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: A re-orchestrated and more majestic rendition of the 2nd logo's theme, taking elements from the previous fanfare and having the brass instruments be more prominent. This was once again composed by Harry Gregson-Williams.

Availability: Brand new.

* The logo debuted on DreamWorks' YouTube channel as an unlisted video on November 22, 2022, and made its theatrical debut with *Puss in Boots: The Last Wish* (which was sneak-previewed on November 26th, and will be officially released on December 21st). Trailers for the film use the previous logo instead.
* Currently, it is being used in tandem with the previous logo.

Legacy: The entire logo serves as an homage to the entire DreamWorks library and their history with successful films. The logo has recieved a mixed reaction, with many praising the return of Harry Gregson-Williams' fanfare, but some criticising the apparent lack of other DreamWorks IPs.

## There is Only One Disney

### (2020s-2023)
