Background
Weed Road Pictures is filmmaker Akiva Goldsman's production company, founded in 2004. The company didn't debut an animated logo until 2007.
1st Logo (April 27, 2007-July 2, 2008)
Visuals: There is a painted picture of a pathway, surrounded by autumn trees. It starts zooming into a box, and we see a fence with a chain blocking the way with a banner of a blue blueberry attached to the chain. The leaves fall from the trees as it stops zooming back. The white words "Weed Road Pictures" fade in underneath.
Variants:
- On Hancock, it cuts from the preceding Overbrook Entertainment logo to a version that begins with the zoom out. After a few seconds when the text fades in, it cuts to the Blue Light logo.
- There is a version where the animation is the same but without the leaves falling and the chain is nowhere to be seen.
- A shortened version exists.
Technique: Flash animation.
Audio: A calm guitar theme, the opening theme or none.
Availability: It only appeared on I Am Legend, Hancock and the failed pilot of The Cure.
2nd Logo (April 23, 2010-)
Visuals: The sequence starts looking at the ground, then grass zooms by as the camera moves forward upon a weeded road and bumps into a wooden gate blocking the road, with an old yellow banner (resembling a road sign), reading "WEED ROAD". Then the lower section flips down, revealing "PICTURES". The background becomes black as vines and grapes appear around the gate.
Variants:
- On the trailer for The Losers, the logo is made from pink paint.
- The film itself uses the cartoon strip sequence of logos with Weed Road among them.
- On the trailer for Jonah Hex, the logo uses several custom designs.
- On Winter's Tale, the logo is tinted in sepia. Also, the sky doesn't turn black.
- On King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, the logo is on a sparkly background with the logo zooming in a few seconds later.
- There is a print version of this logo seen on posters and trailers of their films and on two television shows, Childhood's End and Underground.
- On the TV adaptation of Titans, the logo is shortened.
- Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds use a very short version of this logo.
- Without Remorse uses a version where it bumps into the gate.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The opening theme of the movie, with a flipping sound when the lower section flips.
Audio Variants:
- On Titans, only the flipping sound is heard.
- The logo is silent on Star Trek: Picard and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
- A rock and harmonica theme is used on The Map of Tiny Perfect Things. This was composed by Tom Bromley.
