Background

Neon is a film distributor formed in early 2017 by Tom Quinn and Tim League, the latter of whom is best known for being the founder of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain. Among the company's best-known films are I, Tonya, Ingrid Goes West, and Parasite, the first film to win an Oscar for Best Picture to not be in English. The company currently handles BH Tilt, a joint venture with Blumhouse Productions, Super LTD, Neon Shorts, and Decal, a home entertainment company jointly owned by Bleecker Street. Neon is currently owned by The Friedkin Group through 30West.

Logo (April 7, 2017-)

Visuals: Inside a partially opened boiler room, the camera slowly zooms into a neon sign on a cabinet or device of some sort, with a buzzing electric 'Jacob's ladder' next to it, that reads "NEON". After a few seconds, the sign turns on and flickers into a bright red color. It then powers off, with the first "N" still a bit dim before fully turning off.

Variants:

• On The Killing of Two Lovers, the print logo is shown in white on a black, 4:3 background.
• On Gemini, the logo is tinted blue.
• On the trailer of Moonage Daydream, the print logo is beside the Universal Pictures print logo and is superimposed on the trailer.
• On the Spanish film New Order, the logo is tinted in yellow.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: Buzzing sounds from the Jacob's ladder and from the sign itself. There is also a "thunk" before the sign lights up. Occasionally the opening theme may be heard.

Availability: Seen on all films from the company, starting with Colossal.
