Background

Ghost Corps was founded within Sony Pictures Entertainment in March 2015 as a brand of Columbia Pictures to oversee the Ghostbusters franchise. Among its founders are Ivan Reitman (director of the original 1984 film) and Dan Aykroyd (who plays the Ghostbusters member Ray Stantz and co-wrote the first two films).

  Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

Visuals: On an animated dark thunderstorm, the words "GHOST CORPS" (consists of the words, with "GH ST" in white & "CORPS" in red with the red "No" symbol as the "O" in "GHOST", both in Brandon Grotesque, stacked together in the style of the opening title of the 1984 original, Ghostbusters) are revealed by zooming forward. The traditionally animated ghost (Mooglie) flies in from the left and moves to the symbol, which becomes the Ghostbusters symbol. The byline "A COLUMBIA PICTURES COMPANY" (in the same font and length of the logo) fades in underneath it.

Variants:

• An unused version exists where the ghost trap opens the letters and Mooglie, then the proton pack's lasers to zap the letters for the finished product.
• On Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the logo is superimposed in a different thunderstorm, that was carried from the preceding BRON logo. Also, the font of "GHOST" has been changed to Columna to match the original Ghostbusters logo, and the byline is more readable. After a few seconds, it fades into the opening.
• On Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the logo is instead superimposed on a white-colored thunderstorm, and like the previous films, the logo, except for the background, fades out to begin the film.

Technique: CGI for the thunderstorm and bolts and traditional animation for the ghost. The later variant were designed by Filmograph and Smith & Lee, and animated at Black Book Studio.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie or none.

Availability: It first appeared on Ghostbusters (2016) and later appeared on Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. It also appears on Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered on Nintendo Switch and Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.
