Not to be confused with Timeless Media Group and Timeless Video Inc..

Background

1st Logo (October 7, 2010-2022)


Logo: The camera cuts from black to the inside of a clock made out of silver pointers, brown cogs, and a bright yellow texture around it. The camera starts at one of the cogs, then pans around it turning upward, revealing the texture and the other parts coming down to form the clock. As the camera zooms toward a comfortable position, an outlined border with the words "TIMELESS FILMS" on the top and bottom, respectively, is revealed. The camera spins and sits at a position away from the circle, as the parts all finish positioning themselves, forming the clock.

Variant: A short version of the logo, starting when the camera reveals the text, is used in most films, along with an abridged version of the music.

Technique: Slightly dated CGI animation. An animation error can be seen near the conclusion of the animation, where one of the bottom-left cogs clips through one of the silver parts of the clock.

Music/Sounds: A calm theme with bells, choirs and other instruments.

Availability: Uncommon. First appeared on Animals United, and it can be seen on other films from the company, such as Monster Family.

Legacy: An obscure, but well-made logo that has endured through more than 10 years.

2nd Logo (November 18, 2022- )
Logo: The camera quickly zooms through a much more detailed and realistic version of the clock fom the previous logo, albeit with a different design. after it reaches the center, the camera zooms out from the clock and reveals the company name, this time in the center of the screen, with each of the pieces that comprise "TIMELESS" zooming out separately. Two lines with the word "FILMS" spliced inbetween them is seen below.

Technique: Detailed CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: So far, the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: First seen on the Netflix film Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (even though it could be spotted on Timeless' website since August) and is expected to be seen on future releases from Timeless.
