(October 1, 2021-)
Nicknames: "Skydance Blush", "Rocket and the UFO", "Magical Skydance", "Imagination Skydance"

Logo: On a space background, there is a green, grassy planet with paths in it. A rocket and a UFO, with and  trails, respectively, launch out of the planet, forming an atom-like pattern. Cutting to different shots of the rocket and UFO flying, then to the final shot, as the UFO and rocket split and form a "T" trail, the UFO flies through the text "Times New Roman", in the same font as the 2022 Skydance logo, as the UFO turns the text into from spinning around. The rocket draws a curved underline to the company's name, then the text "ANIMATION" (in Hurme Geometric Sans 2 Regular font) fades in underneath.

Trivia:


 * The rocket, UFO and the planet are from the short film Blush.
 * The logo was designed and animated by John Lasseter.

Variants:
 * A shortened version of this logo exists.
 * A prototype version exists on Blush, where the logo just fades in, is smaller, cut to its last seconds, and the trail and the rocket is absent, but a subtle, but faint  light can be seen.

FX/SFX: The text appearing and the drawing line, CGI done by Skydance Animation Madrid.

Music/Sounds:
 * A majestic calm horn fanfare (composed by Joy Ngiaw), and they are whoosh and sparkly fairy-dust sounds in this logo. There is a Behind the Scenes video that she posted on her YouTube channel, which you can see here. Sometimes, it's the opening theme of the movie.
 * On Blush, the nature noises are heard.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The music was adopted from the soundtrack from Blush.

Availability: Current. First seen on Blush as a prototype. It appeared on the trailer of Luck and the full version appeared on said film. It will appear on future films from the company such as Spellbound, Ray Gunn and Pookoo.

Editor's Note: None.
