Visuals: Unknown

Technique: Unknown

Audio: Unknown

Availability: Unknown

2nd (?) Logo (2000s-??)


Visuals: There are the letters "moNgreL" jumbled up. The "N" zooms out revealing we have seen a reflection all along (a la 2002 Paramount Pictures logo). The letters set into place as a gray box wipes in and the URL "mongrelmedia.com" fades in

Availability: Has been seen on some Canadian prints of films such as An Education (2009)

3rd (?) Logo (2010s-)


Visuals: On a dark blizzard background, there is a white dog running. The logo zooms in too close, so the background becomes white. A pack of black dogs run. One of them gets too close to the camera, so the background turns black. The word "moNgreL" draws in and zooms out, Behind it a gray box fades in, and the URL "www.mongrelmedia.com" fades in.

Technique: Seems to be paint animation.

Audio: A three-note piano tune, ending with a low bass note when the company name zooms out.

Availability: Seen on current Mongrel releases, like Canadian releases of Boyhood, Inside Llewyn Davis, and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
