It was founded in 1994 by Ben Stassen and D&D Entertainment Group, with its first short film Encounter in Third Dimension released in 1999.

1st Logo (January 30, 2008-August 11, 2010)


Logo: There is a rectangle on a black background. On the rectangle is a darkened-lighted environment with a man wearing 3D glasses. A "n" morphs in and flies around the man, who is looking at the "n" with a  cubed trail. At one point, the man looks at the audience briefly, as well as the glasses flashing. The man and the "n" are taken in a black square, as the background fades into a lighted environment. The letters "wa" appear with "ve" unfolding in to create the word "nwave". The word "p i c t u r e s" wipes in with the rectangle changeing code effect. The trail freezes, except for the man and the background, as the byline "In Association With Illuminata Pictures" in its generic font fades in.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, a split-second of the background is shown before the man appearing a split-second later.
 * A print logo exists.
 * A still version of the already-formed logo exists.

FX/SFX: CGI with the live action human.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The print logo and the still version has the closing theme playing over it.
 * At the beginning of A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures, the music is off-sync with the logo.

Availability: The normal version is seen on Fly Me to the Moon.

2nd Logo (August 15, 2012-December 25, 2013)


Logo: A cube fades in as it drops into a rectangle, which stretches in, as the color changes to -tinted and the cube glows white. The cube explodes releasing many items floating, as the rectangle expands to a lighted environment. The items fly back to the center as the letters of "nWave" (With a "W" in a different style) zoom out and take positions. The word "pictures" wipes in with a light wipe and shines with the same light wipe.

Variants:
 * If viewed in 3D, the logo is polarized.
 * At the beginning of A Turtle's Tale 2: Sammy's Escape from Paradise (the first movie where this logo debuted), it fades to the opening shot.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA.

Availability: The normal version is seen on The House of Magic.

3rd Logo (February 5, 2016-)


Logo: On an animated dark blue fog on a black background, we see the previous logo already-formed with the cube rotating.

Variant: On TV spots for The Wild Life, the logo is shared with the Summit Entertainment and StudioCanal logos.

FX/SFX: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as before.

Availability: So far, it was seen on The Wild Life (including the trailers and TV spots).
