Visuals: On a white gradient background that serves as the floor is pieces that made up to create the word "M A N D O O". The pieces of that made the representatives of the letters of the word were:

  • M - A connected joint of the blue triangle and the red/yellow/orange/teal/purple right triangle. This is derived from the Tangram, a historical Chinese puzzle.
  • A - A blue triangle
  • N - A small blue right triangle at the bottom left and a big blue right triangle at the top right.
  • D - A blue square-circle
  • Two Os - Blue circles

The pieces move briefly and drops that made them jiggle briefly before it made the rest.

Variants:

  • On TV spots (including the first one that was made theatrically), it shares with the Summit Premiere and H. Brothers logos in squares. Many of them feature it smaller.
  • At the beginning, it shows the slightly longer version. The sequence starts with the pieces on random places. Then, the second blue circle tries in and the pieces suddenly move to create the said word. After the brief jiggling, the word flattened out into 2D.
  • The extended version is seen on Vimeo. While the camera backs away for the first half, the sequence starts off with the square that made out of the white trails at the top and the "M". After a couple of seconds, some pieces drop in and eventually breaks the square, sending the white triangle out and the "M" to break apart. After the camera stops, the above version plays as normal.

Technique: CGI. Made at Collider Studios.

Audio: The trailer/TV spot music for the normal version and the TV spot variation. The opening theme for the slightly longer version. None for the extended version.

Availability: Seen only on Rock Dog, with the short version seen on trailers and TV spots and longer version being on the American release of the film. This logo does not appear on the sequel Rock Dog 2: Rock Around The Park, and it seems that the company has all but disappeared, as their website is no longer being active.
