1st Logo (February 8, 2002-June 20, 2008)

  • A still version exists and is more common.
  • The closing print version appears at the end of some films.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A beeping noise, along with clanks as the rings appear, and a huge whoosh as the logo is formed. For the closing, it's the music from any given soundtrack or none.

  • The animated logo only appeared on Rollerball (2002), Live!, The Bank Job, and international prints of Bulletproof Monk.
  • The still variant is seen at the end of such films as Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Kicking and Screaming (2005), and Get Smart.

2nd Logo (June 5, 2009-June 27, 2017)

3rd Logo (June 17, 2011-August 13, 2017)


Visuals: There is a volcano that appears to be made out of mud and rocks. The volcano erupts lava and the "mosaic" text from the previous logo (albeit italicized) quickly zooms in to the center. The image zooms out and becomes boxed in as the "o" in "mosaic" shines.

Trivia: The volcano sequence was filmed by Hein Mevissen and edited in After Effects by Andrew J. Leos, while post-production was handled by Hectic Electric in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[1]

Variants:

  • On TV shows, the logo is still.
  • On The Lazarus Effect, the volcano is against a dark sky during a thunderstorm. The name fades in and pulsates before the volcano erupts.
  • An alternative version exists, starting with the screen opening up to a deserted field featuring a crudely dressed man. The man yells, then jumps and just as he lands, the screen immediately cuts to the volcano erupting and the usual animation.

Technique: Live-action for the volcano and 2D digital animation for the text.

Audio: Rumbling sounds followed by a bombastic fanfare with drums and high-pitched brass (possibly a library piece). Composed by Andrew J. Leos.

Audio Variant: The alternate version uses a different bombastic fanfare over the rumbling sounds (actually a sped-up version of the 1960 ITC fanfare composed by Jack Parnell).

Availability: Seen on Bad Teacher (along with its TV series adaptation), Rapture-Palooza, The Lazarus Effect, and Apollo Gauntlet.

Variants:

  • A still version exists.
  • On Weird City, the logo is next to the Chuckystuff Pictures logo.
  • Sometimes, the name isn't italicized.

Technique: 2D digital animation.
