Ghost Corps

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 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.

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 the different thunderstorm, that was carried from the preceeding BRON logo. Also, the "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.
