'''Logo:''' In darkness, there appears a yellow director chair. The scene slowly moves, revealing other contents of the recording room - the director sitting with his megaphone, the man with camera, lights and microphone. Then we see the speaker with a striped bar under his head. All the action is made in unique decorative design and using limited amount of colors, including yellow, green, dark blue and brown. The green speaker's head with bar remains in the frame, while other background becomes black and the name appears, reading "ORIGINALFILM" in a custom font. The word "FILM" is placed directly below the frame.

Background

Original Film is a production company founded in 1997 by Neal H. Moritz, who also briefly founded Neal H. Moritz Productions.

1st Logo (October 17, 1997-April 29, 2004)

Logo: We start with a black background. Then, a yellow director chair fades in. We slowly pan up as other contents of a recording room fade in: a director sitting with his megaphone, a man with a film camera, lights and a boom microphone. Then we see a speaker with a striped bar under his head. All the action is made in unique decorative design and with a limited amount of colors, including yellow, green, dark blue and brown. The speaker's head and the bar remain in the frame, while everything else fades out and the name "ORIGINALFILM" in a custom font appears. The word "FILM" is placed directly below the frame.

Variant: On Cruel Intentions 2 and Return of Cabin by the Lake, the logo is shortened, beginning with the fade-in of the name.

Technique: Fading effects.

Music/Sounds: A simple uprising composition.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • On Slackers, the opening theme is heard.
  • On Cruel Intentions 2, it is silent.

Availability: Rare. Debuted on I Know What You Did Last Summer (the film), and was also seen on the direct-to-video film Cruel Intentions 2, Slackers and The Skulls trilogy. It also appears on Return of Cabin by the Lake. Most movies, including The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious, have no logo.

2nd Logo (October 17, 1997-February 1, 2000)

Logo: On a black background, we see the print logo of Original Film from the era. It consists of the same frame with the speaker face ad the previous logo, but it is placed inside a white box, and the background in the frame is also white. The word "ORIGINAL" is posed vertically left to the frame and "FILM" appears below (a la the 1991-2005 LucasArts logo), all in black, with a small green square in the corner dividing them.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the movie.

  • On Point Pleasant and The Boys, it is in warp speed.
  • On the 2017 version of Prison Break, the print logo is used and shares the screen with the Dawn Olmstead Productions and Adelstein Productions logos.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the movie's opening theme. At the beginning of Vantage Point and the 2012 remake of Total Recall, the tail end of the Columbia Pictures logo's music echoes over the very beginning of the spinning silver letter, then the logo remains completely silent.
