Monkeypaw Productions

Background
Monkeypaw Productions is an production company launched by Jordan Peele in 2012, with Win Rosenfield as its president. The company is named after the 1902 horror tale The Monkey 's Paw, which is Peele's favorite story. Since 2017, the company is under an overall deal with Universal Pictures to invest, produce and distribute genre films for the studio. In September 2021, they signed a multi-year deal with their television division, after ending a previous first-look deal with Amazon.

1st Logo (January 31, 2012-September 9, 2015)
Logo: Next to the Cindylou logo, on a crumpled paper background, we see an  paper with a  monkey's paw, making an "M" with the letters "ONKEYPAW" next to it and "PRODUCTIONS" underneath, both scrambled out in random positions.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Just Jordan Peele singing "I gotta do my one line here." with a backup.

Availability: Seen on Key and Peele.

2nd Logo (March 31, 2018-)
Logo: We fade into some stuff (such as a typewriter, crocodile, and a mask) with curtains that move a bit, as well as a magic 8-ball and the package, inside a moving train. The camera pans up to a door opening, rattling between two arrows with some warning signs to the right. It then pans to the left on a seat where a monkey's disembodied paw stirs a cup with a spoon as we zoom in with raindrops on the window, as the company name in fades in between.

Trivia:
 * The stirring teacup comes from Peele's film Get Out, where stirring a teacup is part of a hypnotism/mind-control technique.
 * The print version of this logo can be seen on the hat of the Jordan Peele Funko Pop!.

Variants:
 * A short version exists.
 * Sometimes, the logo is still.
 * On Candyman (2021), the logo is mirrored alongside the Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and BRON Studios logos, to reference the saying of Candyman's name into a mirror five times.
 * The black & white version of The Twilight Zone uses a variant to fit the theme.
 * An alternate version exists where we first see the print logo (with the name below) close-up and zoom back twice before cutting back onto a black concrete-like background which animates. This variant is sometimes still.
 * On Wendell & Wild, the Rust Bank Brewery is seen through the window.

Technique: Stop-motion animation designed by ShadowMachine Films and animated by Wendy Fuller. 2D computer animation for the alternate version.

Music/Sounds: A train moving sound, coupled with sounds that correlate to the animation. Sometimes, none or the opening/closing theme.

Availability: Current. First seen on The Last O.G. and on all projects produced by Peele since.
