Principato-Young Entertainment

Background
Principato-Young Entertainment was founded in 2001 by Peter Principato and Paul Young. In August 2017, Young left the company and Electus purchased a majority stake, resulting in the company rebranding into Artists First on May 18, 2018. PYE didn't use a logo until 2006.

1st Logo (January 8, 2006-April 26, 2012)
Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with the text "Serif" spaced out and revealing itself from a shadow, with "Serif" 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.
 * It sometimes shares the screen with other logos.

Technique: 2D computer animation by WunderFilm.

Audio: It's usually silent, a soundbite, or has the closing theme play over it.

Audio Variants:


 * On Do Not Disturb, the fanfare from the Reveille Productions logo is heard.
 * On the unaired pilot of Instant Stepmom (originally titled American Judy), the fanfare from the Pickle Films 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.

2nd Logo (April 26, 2013-June 5, 2018)
Visuals: The screen quickly zooms 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 company name in, 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.
 * It sometimes shares the screen with other logos.
 * On the film Jessabelle, the logo is letterboxed and scrolls up in the credits.

Technique: CGI.

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

Audio Variants:
 * A shortened version also exists.
 * Sometimes, the logo is silent or has the closing theme play over, either with the sounds intact or not.

Availability: Though no longer current, it's still common.
 * This was first seen on the unaired pilot of The Gabriels.
 * It was later seen on The Birthday Boys, 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.
 * With the exception of the aforementioned title, this logo does not appear on movies produced by the company, such as Central Intelligence.
