Background: Reel FX is an American digital studio based in Dallas, Texas and Santa Monica, California. The studio develops and produces award-winning animated films, short form content and virtual reality experiences. Its first animated feature film, Free Birds, was released in 2013 and grossed over $110 million worldwide.

1st Logo (November 1, 2013-) Nicknames: "Space Reel FX", "Science Fiction"

Logo: We see a blue light with sci-fi particles in form of circles. The light passes and transitions into blue space. The light then hyper jumps to the wormhole and flies to the Moon. A UFO then strikes the light and the light flies behind three holes of moon. Some space clouds appear with Earth and the Reel FX logo appears with "ANIMATION STUDIOS" underneath. A light then strikes the logo, and the O from "ANIMATION" flies to the camera.

Variant: On Free Birds, the light has been replaced with S.T.E.V.E, an egg-shaped time machine from the movie. The logo also directly segues away from the Relativity vortex logo.

FX/SFX: Pretty much everything.

Music/Sounds: A harp tune with 7-note flute. Afterwards a majestic fanfare with sci-fi sounds plays.


 * Music/Sounds Variant: On Free Birds, a triumphant orchestral sci-fi theme, entitled "Starry Side Up", plays through this logo and the Relativity logo.

Availability : Seen on Free Birds and The Book of Life.

Editor's Note: It's a beautiful logo.
