Background

(July 15, 2016-)

Logo: 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", stacked together in a style of the opening title of the 1984 original, Ghostbusters) revealed by zooming forward. The traditionally animated ghost flies in from the left and moves to the symbol, which becomes the Ghostbusters symbol. The byline "A COLUMBIA PICTURES COMPANY" (in the length of the logo) fades in underneath it.

Variant: On Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the logo is superimposed in a different thunderstorm, that was carried from the preceding BRON logo. Also, "GHOST" is in the same font as in the movie's logo.

FX/SFX: CGI for the thunderstorm and bolts and traditional animation for the ghost.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: It first appeared on the 2016 Ghostbusters film (a.k.a. Ghostbusters: Answer the Call) and later appeared again on Ghostbusters: Afterlife. It also appears on the 2016 video game of Ghostbusters.

-'''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 were Ivan Reitman (director of the original 1984 film ''Ghostbusters'') and Dan Aykroyd (actor who played Ray Stantz in 1984's ''Ghostbusters'', 1989's ''Ghostbusters II'' and 2021's ''Ghostbusters: Afterlife''). So far, their only confirmed projects are the infamous 2016 reboot of ''Ghostbusters'' and an animated television show entitled ''Ghostbusters: Ecto Force'' which will be co-produced by [[Sony Pictures Animation]] and was set for an early 2018 release, however it was postponed to prioritize development on a ''Ghostbusters'' animated feature. In January 2019, a new ''Ghostbusters'' film was announced, titled ''Ghostbusters: Afterlife'', set to be directed by Reitman's son Jason and set in the same universe as the original, which was later released on November 19, 2021.
