Marvel Knights

Background
Marvel Knights is a sub-division of Marvel Studios that released films based on darker material and lesser-known characters, but the critical and financial failure of their only two theatrical films caused the label to go dormant outside of comic books and motion comics.

Logo (December 5, 2008-September 13, 2012?)
Visuals: Similar concept as the regular Marvel logo: comic book pages are getting ripped, then when zoomed in, flip with a navy blue filter. Eventually, the comic book flipping starts to go faster, then zooms out, and then the word "MARVEL" on top with "KNIGHTS" below, both in white, on a black BG, appears. There is a glow around the logo. It then disappears to a cloud

Variations:


 * On the first trailer for Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers, the logo is in CGI and made of stone, floating against a stormy sky backdrop. Here, it reads "MARVEL KNIGHTS ANIMATION" instead. Lightning flashes from the top left to the bottom center twice, before a third, bigger flash takes the whole screen and transitions to the Shout! Factory logo.
 * On the second trailer for the same film and its behind-the-scenes featurettes, as well as some prints of the 2010 Black Panther series by Titmouse, it is much like the normal variant, but starting with the zoom out and in warpspeed. The text reads "MARVEL KNIGHTS ANIMATION" again.
 * In Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, (like the logos of Columbia Pictures, Hyde Park Entertainment and Image Nation Abu Dhabi), the logo is sped up.

Technique: 2D computer animation. Like the main Marvel logo at the time, this was done by Prologue. It can be seen on their site.

Audio: The sounds of the pages flipping and the opening of the film.

Availability: Only seen on Punisher: War Zone and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while the "ANIMATION" variants appear on Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers, its trailers, and the behind the scenes featurettes for the same project, as well as certain prints of the 2010 animated adaptation of Black Panther (other prints instead use the Marvel Animation logo).
