Nicknames: "Space Reel FX", "Science Fiction"

Logo: We see a blue light with sci-fi particles in form of circles. The light passes and transitions into blue space. The light then hyper jumps to the wormhole and flies to the Moon. A UFO then strikes the light and the light flies behind three holes of moon. Some space clouds appear with Earth and the Reel FX logo appears with "ANIMATION STUDIOS" underneath. A light then strikes the logo, and the O from "ANIMATION" flies to the camera.

Variant: On Free Birds, the light has been replaced with S.T.E.V.E, an egg-shaped time machine from the movie. The logo also directly segues away from the Relativity vortex logo.

FX/SFX: Pretty much everything.

Music/Sounds: A harp tune with 7-note flute. Afterwards a majestic fanfare with sci-fi sounds plays.

Music/Sounds Variant: On Free Birds, a triumphant orchestral sci-fi theme, entitled "Starry Side Up", plays through this logo and the Relativity logo.

Availability: Seen on Free Birds and The Book of Life. Don't expect this to appear on any of their other films, as they have since changed their print logo and only provided animation services for UglyDolls and Scoob!, as opposed to producing the movies.

Editor's Note: It's a beautiful logo.
