Visuals: On a black background, the text "Breaking Glass Pictures" in white with "picutres" in small letters zooms in and stops. After a while, glass cracks. Then, the glass is broken further, revealing a light blue background and the first and last words colored in cyan. The logo glows.

Variant: Early trailers feature a still version.

Technique: 2D photo-animation done by Dead-I Productions.

Audio: The sounds of breaking glass.

Availability: Seen on early Breaking Glass releases, such as The Band (the first movie by the company), Just Like the Son, Marathon, The Trouble with Romance, Darkness, American Harmony, and Without a Home.

2nd Logo (November 22, 2011-)

Technique: Computer animation and possibly live-action.

Audio: A dreamy dramatic note, followed by a sound of glass breaking.

Availability: Seen on Game of Life, The M Word, The Suffering, and others.
