1st Logo (December 18, 2009)
Logo: There is a panorama of the city where the camera zooms out in blue skies. The ladder appears to be sticking out of the clouds, the shadow man climbs it and switches the lamp on. When it lights, the white letters of GK FILMS appear, and we can see starfield above and clouds below. The ladders becomes I, and man jumps off and hides himself behind L.

FX/SFX: The logo animation, which can be a bit choppy.

Music/Sounds: A soft orchestral theme.

Availability: Appears on the first GK movie The Young Victoria.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (January 29, 2010- )
Logo: There is a close-up of a giant dirty-white construction of GK letters, whose parts are disarranged. While we zooms out, the letters get into normal view and the soft flash creates films. The flash is behind f. There are also some light effects at the background.

Variant: On Camelot and Continuum, "films" is replaced by "-tv" and the logo is tinted in the colors of brown and blue.

FX/SFX: CGI animation, animated by Devastudios.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic fanfare, or the opening theme.

Availability: Seen on current movies by Graham King like The Town and Edge of Darkness. Don't expect to see the logo in Rango because it doesn't contain the logo.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (Argo variant) (October 12, 2012)
Logo: On a black background, the GK Films logo from before zooms out and spins to the middle of the screen, as several copies of it streak out a la the CBS Special Presentation open.

FX/SFX: The logo spinning out.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Only seen on Argo.

Editor's Note: None.
