Logo: On a black background, we see some paper uncrumpling to reveal a black city with two stick people fighting on the street. Then a car swerves in, and another stick person comes out of the car fighting while the other one kicks it into an open manhole. A helicopter flies by dropping another stick person prepared to fight, as it and the surviving stick figure face each other striking a battle pose. It transitions to the logo, where the word "EIGHTYSEVEN" is shown with one camera len on the top left and the word "PRODUCTIONS" is seen below while other words keep writing and erasing themselves into the right side, altogether reading a message: "EVERYTHING", "YOU WANT", "IS ON", "THE OTHER", and "SIDE OF FEAR". Then it turns into the word "NORTH" with a vertical line at the left and the whole logo turns silver.

FX/SFX: Unique CGI resembling sketchbook drawings.

Music/Sounds: Off screen, a man yells "Action!" When the fight starts, a woman's voice whispers "T'is I" and punching, kicking, squealing tires, and helicopter propellers are heard. The logo itself is accompanied by sketching noises and a whoosh.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Bullet Train, the dialog is omitted. In its place is a single held dramatic note throughout the stick figure fight. The logo is accompanied by a high pitched noise akin to scrolling data in an action movie and the same whoosh as before.

Availability: So far, it has been seen on Kate and Bullet Train, and is expected to appear on future films from the company such as Ghost of Tsushima.

Legacy: A unique and well animated logo that demonstrates the type of films the company is known for well.
