Principato-Young Entertainment

Background
Artists First, originally founded 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-December 26, 2010)
Logo: On a black background, we see the text "PRINCIPATO-YOUNG" spaced out and revealing itself from a shadow, with "ENTERTAINMENT" 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.
 * On Do Not Disturb, the logo is next to the Reveille Productions logo.
 * On Running Wilde, the logo is below the 5 Hole Pictures logo.

FX/SFX: The shadows revealing the name, the zooming in.

Music/Sounds: It's usually silent 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.

Editor's Note: As of this writing, no photo or video evidence of the standalone logo exists.

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 text "principato-young entertainment", 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.
 * On seasons 1-4 of Black-ish and season 1 of Grown-ish, the logo is next to the Cinema Gypsy Productions logo.
 * On Flaked, the logo shares the screen with the Electus logo below.
 * On both Wet Hot American Summer series (entitled First Day of Camp and Ten Years Later respectively), the logo is below the Abominable Pictures logo.
 * On the first seasons of Hot Date and The Gong Show, the logo shares the screen with the Electric Avenue logo below.
 * On season 1 of The Last O.G., the logo is at the bottom with the Full Flavor logo on the top-left corner and The Tannenbaum Company logo next to it.
 * On the film Jessabelle, the logo is letterboxed and scrolls up in the credits.

FX/SFX: The sphere zooming out, the company name revealing, and the lens flares.

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

Editor's Note: None.

(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 text "ARTISTS FIRST" wipes in below.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo is either still or shortened.
 * On Black-ish (starting with season 5), Grown-ish (starting with season 2), and Mixed-ish, the logo is next to the Cinema Gypsy Productions logo.
 * On the second seasons of Hot Date and The Gong Show, the logo shares the screen with the Electric Avenue logo below. On the latter, it is squished.
 * On season 2 of The Last O.G., the logo (which is brighter) is on the bottom with the Matthew 6:33 logo on the top-left corner and The Tannenbaum Company logo next to it. On season 3 onwards, the logo is next to the latter aforementioned logo on the right.
 * On Hit & Run, the logo is still in a white box and is next to the Mandeville Films logo.
 * On Murderville, the logo is next to the Mister Krister logo.

FX/SFX: The lines drawing, the "AF" rotating, the lens flare moving, and the company name wiping in. It's all done in great CGI.

Music/Sounds: A single, grand bell-like chime with a choir accompanying it, but on Murderville, some whoosh sounds are heard, with a metal clank at the end. Like before, the theme is either shortened, silent or has the closing theme play over.

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.

Editor's Note: None.
