1st Logo (19 January 2001-16 September 2005)
Visuals: Over a blue background, 3 squares revolve around with various mismatched bodies (like a Rubik's Cube), forming several people dancing and miming to the voice heard in the logo, until the boxes form a robot dancing in a feminine news reporter's body. It then fades into a white box reading "DNA" on it, with "films" next to it. On the bottom right, the URL "www.dnafilms.com" appears.
Variant: A still variant exists.
Technique: CGI mixed with live-action footage.
Audio: A dramatic synth-piano theme with a whispery voice saying "D... N... A..." one letter at a time, then a distorted robotic voice saying "DNA." Otherwise, it's the opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Seen on movies from the period, such as Beautiful Creatures and The Parole Officer.
2nd Logo (13 October 2006-)
Visuals: There is a spiral of many "DNA"s in yellow with red side for strips on a black background. The screen then pans across and many of the strips are seen until the camera stops at a "DNA" in the middle with four "DNA"s in the corners of the screen.
Variant: A short version exists as well as a variant without the corner text that appears at the end of films such as Men.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Deep whooshes and the sounds of a projector.
Availability: Seen on films such as Notes on a Scandal, 28 Weeks Later, Never Let Me Go, and Civil War. It also appears on original prints of The History Boys, albeit it doesn't appear on some of its international prints.
