1st Logo (October 29, 2004-February 10, 2017)
Nicknames: "The Tornado Stake", "Spread of Barbwire", "The Stake Twisting The Barbwire", "The Saw Logo"

Logo: The words "twisted pictures" quickly fade in with barb wire quickly twisting and maneuvering around the words with the ends of the wire curling around each other between the words. Then a stake quickly drops down through the curled ends of the wires, and rotates clockwise, twisting the ends of the wire around with it and tightening the barbed wire around the words. Then the screen "flashes" and the wire covering the words quickly exit offscreen, and leave scratches on the words while the stake, covered with barb wire twisting around it twists around counterclockwise, comes to the camera, and quickly comes to a stop. This all happens at a very fast pace.

Variant: On Saw 3D, the logo is more saturated with the barbed wire being redder in color.

FX/SFX: The CGI animation of the barb wire and the stake.

Music/Sounds: Just the sound of the barb wire twisting around and snapping, with a thunderclap sound during the "flash."

Availability: Seen on all of the Saw films and other films by the company like ''Repo! The Genetic Opera''. Don't expect to see this on Dead Silence, as the logo only appears on the trailer.

Legacy: A favorite of fans of the Saw franchise.

2nd Logo (July 20, 2017- )


Nicknames: "The Tornado Stake II", "Spread of Barbwire II", "The Stake Twisting The Barbwire II", "The Saw Logo II"

Logo: Same as before, but this time, the words are more 3-dimensional, the logo zooms out as the bar wire wraps around the words, there is blood on the scratches from the barbwire, and the stake is replaced with a rugged mounting spike. The screen doesn't flash in this logo.

FX/SFX: An improved version of the above.

Music/Sounds: Same as above, but without the thunderclap.

Availability: Current. First seen on the trailer and Canadian release for Jigsaw. Also seen on Spiral: From the Book of Saw.

Legacy: Same as the 1st logo.
