Atomic Monster Productions

Background
Atomic Monster Productions is the production company of James Wan, founded in 2014. The company didn't have an on-screen logo until 2016.

1st Logo (June 8, 2016-April 30, 2021)
Nicknames: "Atomic Hero", "CGI Hero", "Attack of the Tentacles!"

Logo: We fade in to a shot of a skyline facing towards the sky, with 2 tentacles taller than the buildings squirming about. A white object then flies in, leaving a trail behind it, and shoots a beam at one of the tentacles, splitting it and causing it to fall. It then proceeds to shoot down the other one, and the camera pans down to reveal a tentacle wrapped around a building. The thing then comes into clearer view, revealing itself to be a white humanoid robot with an old-fashioned diver's helmet for a head, and it shoots down a tentacle that just came in off frame. Swooping to the right, it shoots down another tentacle, does a half-turn, and then plummets into the ground, where the camera follows it and particle effects can be seen when it slams into the ground. It then shoots a beam out from its face and scans it from left to right, revealing the radioactive yellow text "ATOMIC MONSTER" with the first "O" replaced with a revolving atom, and it strikes an action pose. The background fades to black, the robot gains a white outline, and the atom continues to revolve until the logo fades out. The entire logo, apart from the text, is in greyscale and is presented in a small square with film effects.

Variant: A short version is used on MacGyver (2016), where it starts with the robot shooting out the beam.

FX/SFX: The robot flying and destroying the tentacles, the name forming. Cool animation by Filmograph.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Uncommon. It can be seen on Lights Out and MacGyver (2016). Strangely, this logo does not appear on The Conjuring 2 and Annabelle: Creation. Despite being replaced in 2018, the logo remained in use on MacGyver (2016) until the series' end, Don't expect to see this on Insidious: The Last Key despite him being one of the producers on the film.

Editor's Note: A really cool homage to the science fiction and monster movies of the 50's, although the CGI does look a bit iffy at places.

2nd Logo (September 4, 2018-)
Nicknames: "Atomic Hero II", "Stop-Motion Hero", "Attack of the Tentacles! 2"

Logo: Basically a stop-motion version of the 1st logo's concept. Starting out on a wide shot of a city skyline, several tentacles can be seen emerging from the ground, waving about as fire and smoke can be seen. As the camera starts to zoom in, the robot from before flies in using thrusters and starts shooting at the tentacles. As it flies around them and shoots at them, the camera follows the robot's flight, first to the left, then to the right. It then stops in mid-air before plummeting to the ground, leaving a visible cracked spot on there. The logo follows the same animation as before with particle effects for the beam, but when the robot poses it turns into a 2D version of itself as the background turns to black. The text is also now in a 2D yellow color, though the atom's rings are white. It zooms in slightly as the rings rotate. Like the previous logo, it's also shown with grainy film effects, but is now in full color and a larger film resolution.

Trivia: According to a reply to a YouTube comment by Norman Yeend, this logo took around 3 months to make. The shot of the tentacles attacking the buildings at the beginning alone took 12 hours to animate.

Variants:
 * A short version, much like the previous logo, exists.
 * On New Line Cinema films, the logo stays 16:9 screen ratio, with mattes around the logo.
 * On The Curse of La Llorona, the logo transitions from the 2011 New Line Cinema logo through the clouds, and the logo's borders zoom in throughout until it rests at the 16:9 screen ratio, therefore transistioning the screen ratio from 21:9 to 16:9.
 * A cinemascope version exists, This was seen in There's Someone Inside Your House, It can be seen here.
 * A "behind-the-scenes" version of this logo exists, it can be seen here.
 * On Malignant, the logo has a videotape feel to it and glitches throughout.
 * On I Know What You Did Last Summer (2021), the print logo is used.
 * There is a variant on Norman Yeend's YouTube channel that is black-and-white until the very end, where the text is yellow as normal.

FX/SFX: Same as before. Great stop-motion work by Norman Yeend at Poke The Bear Animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie. The short version, however, has the sounds of a laser beam and digital beeps. The full version however, has sounds of people screaming, with flying and laser sounds as the robot shoots lasers and a monster sounds being heard as the tentacles is attacked by the robot and a loud thud as it lands before the same sounds from the short version are used.

Availability: Current. It can be seen on The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Curse of La Llorona, Swamp Thing, Mortal Kombat (2021), The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, Malignant, There's Someone Inside Your House and I Know What You Did Last Summer (2021). Don't expect this to appear on Aquaman: King of Atlantis.

Editor's Note: Same as the previous logo, but rendered in great stop-motion. Fits the era of it even more so thanks to that.
