5th Logo (December 22, 2023-)


Visuals: A dark blue airplane, leaving a dodger blue-blue striped trail, is soaring diagonally upwards on a dodger blue background with a large red sun covering the center and right portions of the screen. When it is about to leave the screen, the trail quickly shortens and the plane and trail reappear on the right side, flying to the left and then to the right, where it overlaps with the trail and becomes a paper airplane. The portion of the screen underneath the plane and trail become a dark blue setting of an arch bridge on a mountainous lake with the moon on the left in red. When the new background is revealed, the paper airplane briefly soars up and down and backs away to reveal "OLIVE BRIDGE" in the same style as before. The paper airplane, now an outlined version of itself, soars upwards and rests to the company name's top right. As this change happens, the background crossfades to a dimly lit dark blue background and "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in below "OLIVE BRIDGE".

Technique: Flash animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the film.

Availability: The logo debuted on Anyone But You.
