Amazon Originals

Background
Amazon Prime (Prime Video in some countries) in Amazon's streaming video service which was started in 2006 as "Amazon Unbox".

1st Logo (2015?-2017)
Nicknames: "The Smile II", "The Prime Smile II", "Rotating Smile"

Logo: The Amazon smile logo swings in from an anti-clockwise direction along with a green vertical line to the left of the logo. The logo then rapidly spins the rest of the way around to reveal the Amazon logo (with the "O" replaced by a green play button) with "Originals" below in a stacked format and the green line now to the right of the logo.

Variant: One variant has the word "Kids" slide out from behind the green bar once the logo finishes animating

FX/SFX: All CGI

Music/Sounds: A three-note synth jingle

Availability: Common. Seen on older Amazon Prime shows, though early season 1 episodes of The Grand Tour have begun plastering this with the next logo.

Editor's Note: None

2nd Logo (2017-2020)
Nicknames: "The Smile II", "The Prime Smile II", "Blue Smile"

Logo: On a blue-black gradient background, the silver, 3D words "PRIME ORIGINAL" in a spaced out sans-serif font appear. The Amazon smile symbol draws itself in below in light blue as the letters turn white. Finally, the smile zooms into the camera as the logo fades to black

FX/SFX: All CGI once again.

Logo: Through streaks of light, similar to the 2011 StudioCanal logo, we see a metallic Amazon smile. The words "AMAZON ORIGINAL" in the same style as before zoom out from beyond the camera as the streaks fade away.. The smile and the words glow in time with the three-note jingle.

FX/SFX: All CGI once again.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic re-orchestration of the previous logo's theme.
