Logo (May 2, 2013-)

Visuals: Over a black background is the text "Piki" in a stylised grainy font without its dots. Then, they come from the left and right respectively, bouncing and forming the name. Below that is "FILMS" wiping in to the right, as the logo zooms in.

Variant: A still in-credit version exists. This lacks the "FILMS" text.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: None or the opening/closing theme.

Availability: First seen on the Aroha Bridge shorts, and later appeared on Hunt for the Wilderpeople, The Breaker Upperers, and Baby Done.
