By itself=

Logo: Over some golden clouds, a hot-air-balloon and a zeppelin are seen as a biplane then passes by. The picture then zooms out of a peephole on a wooden door on a mansion, emitting a lot of golden light as it continues to zooms out. The "D" filmstrip from the previous logos flies and arranges itself over the building, inside a rectangular box as the company name appears from below. The filmstrip then shines.

Variants:
 * On Mr. Popper's Penguins, the company name is absent.
 * A still version exists.
 * At the end of A Little Bit of Heaven, the logo is in black-and-white and scrolls up in the credits.
 * The logo usually shares the screen with other logos on TV shows.
 * A shortened version exists where the filmstrip spins into view with the name appearing. The rectangular box is already here, sometimes absent.
 * On The Equalizer (2021), only the shining is shown on the finished product.

Technique: CGI animation.
