Dutch FilmWorks

Background
Dutch FilmWorks is a Dutch film distribution company founded in 1998.

1st Logo (1999-2005)
Logo: The logo at first is encased in pitch black; a shade of red is seen passing vertically over the letters DFW in a shadow like manner. As this happens, the words DUTCH FILMWORKS appear from the sides as afterimages before clashing together. After a few seconds of hesitation, the background opens up with an iris-like transition to reveal once again the letters DFW thus showcasing said entire logo in its own form.

Technique: Simple computer effects.

Music/Sounds: A synthetic dance-like tune, followed by a few occasional whooshes, an impact sound, and an echoey baritone voice saying "Dutch Filmworks".

Availability: Can be seen on Dutch FilmWorks releases from that era.

2nd Logo (2005-2011)
Note: Skip to 3:49 for the logo on the 1st video and 0:32 on the second video

Logo: We pan over a filmstrip with light shining through the holes, then the camera backs out to reveal the previous logo in 3D floating over an ocean on a cloudy sky background with light shining through the logo. As the camera lowers, there's a sun flash as the sun passes the logo. Then their URl "www.dfw.nl" in white wipes in below the logo.

Technique: CGI

Music/Sounds: A synthesized woosh would follow a string fanfare with an explosion sound synced with the sun flash which surges into an 8-note majestic fanfare with an ending similar to the ending of the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures fanfare.

Availability: Common. Seen on Dutch FilmWorks releases from this era.

3rd Logo (2011-)
