Mandeville Films

1st Logo (February 16, 1996-December 4, 2009)
Nicknames: "The Flying M", "CGI Stylized M"

Logo: On a cloud background, we see a green and gold field that is split in the middle. As we zoom it, the field is revealed to be part of a stylized "M", the logo parts being split by a shape that looks like a road. As the logo centers itself at an angle in the middle of the screen, the text "MANDEVILLE FILMS" wipes in underneath.

Variant:
 * On Monk, the logo is cut-short to the wiping sequence.
 * On Mr. Wrong, the first movie with this logo, the logo strangely appears prior to the credits and starts at the company name (in yellow, with no shadow) wiping in.
 * On I'll Be Home for Christmas, the background clouds change at the very end, and the logo blurs and zooms up to start the movie.
 * On the Disney Channel Original Movie Brink, it logo is already formed and still.
 * On Senseless and the 2006 remake of The Shaggy Dog, the logo is stretched vertically.
 * At the end of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, the logo is sped-up.

FX/SFX: The stylized "M" zooming out and the company name wiping in.

Music/Sounds: None, or the opening/closing theme of the film or series. Sometimes, it used a fanfare.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on most films from the company during the era, such as George of the Jungle.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 25, 2009-)
Logo: With the two rectangular pillars at the foreground, we see a mountain landscape with a cloudy sky in faraway. The camera moves out of the pillars and rotates clockwise into the right pillar, until two black lines come into view. We zoom out, the construction appears to be a gradient gray rectangle with two vertical cuts. Below, we see "MANDEVILLE" with "FILMS" below. A light blink runs over the top of the rectangle.

Variants:


 * On Detroit 1-8-7, the word "TELEVISION" replaces "FILMS".
 * On Warm Bodies, the logo zooms out already formed on a broken, dusty stone background.

FX/SFX: The light effects on pillars and on the complete logo.

Music/Sounds: None, or the opening theme of the movie. The company's official upload of this logo (as well as the television company) uses a majestic fanfare.

Availability: First appeared on Surrogates and continues to be seen on newer movies from Mandeville Films. Strangely, this logo doesn't appear at all on The Muppets, nor Muppets Most Wanted. It was also seen on the Disney Channel Original Movie, Geek Charming.

Editor's Note: None.
