Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022, Netflix): The logo is red against a black background, bearing a striking resemblance to the 2006-2009 logo. The beginning is also cut.

Fresh (2022, Hulu/Disney+): The logo is already formed and still against a black background. Seen at the end of the film.
A Christmas Story Christmas (2022, HBO Max): The logo's trails start off in red, and the background is brown. When we pan around to show the infinity trails, it pulls back as a flash occurs from it, and the zoom out from the logo is faster. Then the logo gains red and green neon colors as the camera slowly zooms away.

The Machine (2023): The logo is tinted in red on a black background, like the version used in Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It is also zoomed in a bit.
