Digital Factory

Background
Digital Factory was created in 2000 by renowned French filmmaker Luc Besson. It handles post-production of EuropaCorp's films, as well as producing visual effects for other film companies.

(March 29, 2000-)
Logo: On a black background, we see the stacked words "DIGITAL FACTORY" rotating and zooming out. A flash occurs, which originates an expanding starfield and a golden oval with four curved lines (which sometimes appears to be more ) zooms in to the screen, along with the text. The starfield disappears from view when the oval and text settle, and the oval spins for a few seconds.

Technique: All CGI, likely done in-house.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh, then a dramatic airy sound, followed by a beam sound during the flash, then a "thud" sound and finally an action-themed orchestra tune. Depending on the print, it may be higher or lower pitched.

Availability: It is most common on EuropaCorp films, usually appearing before said logo (although it debuted on its own, alongside a custom variant of the ARP Sélection logo, on Taxi 2).
