Principato-Young Entertainment

Background
Artists First, formerly known as Principato-Young Entertainment, was founded in 2001 by Peter Principato and Paul Young. The company didn't use a logo until 2006. The company took on its current name in 2018, about nine months after Young exited the company and Electus took a majority stake in the company. The company has twenty-one managers and offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.

1st Logo (January 8, 2006-May 21, 2011)
Logo: On a black background, we see the text "Times New Roman" spaced out and revealing itself from a shadow, with "Times New Roman" in white fading in below and accommodating the length. Both words are in a Times-esque font with a white line sandwiched between them, as the logo slowly zooms in.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo is still.
 * It sometimes shares the screen with other logos.

Technique: Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: It's usually silent, a soundbite, or has the closing theme play over it, but on Do Not Disturb, the fanfare from the Reveille Productions logo is heard.

Availability: Can be seen on some of the earliest productions from the company, such as Campus Ladies, Hollywood Residential, Do Not Disturb, Player, and Running Wilde.

2nd Logo (October 18, 2013-June 5, 2018)
Logo: We quickly zoom out of a bright light as it's revealed to be from a sphere against a black background with a  highlights surrounding it as a lens flare briefly passes through. Then, the sphere quickly spins to the left as another lens flare bursts out from it, as the company name in, spanning across two lines, quickly comes out. The lens flares quickly move away as the sphere stops rotating, revealing "pye" inside it with a thick circle cut in half behind it, out of position from each other. The finished result has the background quickly continuing to moving throughout while some particles are seen surrounding the logo.

Variants:
 * A still version exists.
 * A shortened version exists where the zooming out of the sphere is cut.
 * It sometimes shares the screen with other logos.
 * On the film Jessabelle, the logo is letterboxed and scrolls up in the credits.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A laser sound accompanied by a zap sound, ending with a loud whoosh when the company name is revealed.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * A shortened version also exists.
 * Sometimes, the logo is silent or has the closing theme play over.

Availability: No longer current, but still common.
 * This was first seen on The Birthday Boys.
 * It was later seen on Married, the first four seasons of Black-ish, the last two seasons of Key & Peele, both Wet Hot American Summer series, and Flaked, as well as the first seasons of The Gong Show, Hot Date, and Grown-ish.
 * Despite the company's rebranding to Artists First in May 2018, this still remained in use on the first season of The Last O.G., as it was likely produced prior to the name rebrand.
 * With the exception of the aforementioned title, this logo does not appear on movies produced by the company, such as Central Intelligence.

(June 21, 2018-)
Logo: On a black background with a light blue glow, a white line is seen drawing to a large angular stylized "AF" in white, which slightly rotates towards the right as a lens flare-esque thing moves off the screen diagonally, making the letters turn  as they shimmer, while the company name in  wipes in below.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo is either still or shortened.
 * A brighter version exists.
 * Like the previous logo, it sometimes shares the screen with other logos.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A single, grand bell-like chime with a choir accompanying it.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Like before, the theme is either shortened, silent or has the closing theme play over.
 * On Murderville, four whoosh sounds are heard, with a metal clank at the end.
 * On one episode of the above series, wind howling from the Abominable Pictures logo is heard due to an editing error.

Availability: Current. Can be seen on Black-ish starting with season 5, and Grown-ish, The Gong Show, Hot Date, and The Last O.G. all starting with season 2. Also seen on Mixed-ish, Awkwafina is Nora from Queens, Hit & Run, and Murderville. Again, not on the company's movies.
