It was formerly known as Wunjo, Inc. until 2005, where it signed a non-exclusive deal with 20th Century Fox to produce their films. The company derives its name from the number of laps Levy's oldest daughter ran in a jogathon when she was 5 years old.[1]

Under it is the stacked company name in purple.

The screen then pans over to see them creating glowing pathways, emitting sparkles. Finally they create an abstract "21L" (same as the previous logo, but slightly thinner) and two lines collide in the very center, creating a flash. The name below appears in dark blue underneath. Dots of light appear and float in the background until the logo fades out.

Later Variant: Starting in 2014 with Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, the logo has been enhanced, with brighter colors, smoother animation, and the "21" is no longer rotated.

Other Variant: Shortened and still versions exist.

Technique: CGI animation done by Picturemill.

Audio: An uprising synth tune with twinkling sounds and buzzing of the lines. This was composed by Christophe Beck.

Audio Variants:

  • Sometimes, the opening theme of the film plays over or none.
