Background

Rideback is the production company of Dan Lin after it was renamed from Lin Pictures in 2018 in order to focus on filmmaker collaboration. The company name comes from the Old West that refers to helping a fallen rider back on a horse. On February 28, 2024, it was announced that Lin would be stepping down from Rideback to become the new head of Netflix's film division, with Jonathan Eirich and Michael LoFaso taking his place as co-CEOs.[1]

Logo (February 2, 2019-)


Visuals: On a black background, there is a bronze image of a swirl that was trailing like a rollercoaster. Below it, there is the company name in a metallic bronze western-type font.

Variants:

  • An animated version exists, where the camera pans up from a field of grass in a sunny sky with a rope swirling around to the company name and forming the logo as the field fades to the black background.
  • On It: Chapter Two, the logo is red.
  • Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.
  • At the end of Easter Sunday, the print logo is used.

Technique: A still, digital graphic. CGI by Trailer Park for the animated version.

Audio: None or the opening/closing theme.

Availability: First seen at the end of The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part. It also appears on It: Chapter TwoThe Two Popes (the first appearance of the animated version), Walker, its spin-off Walker: Independence, and Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024). This does not appear on Aladdin (2019) or Haunted Mansion, as both films only used an in-credit notice.
