Bold Films

Background
Bold Films was the production company founded in 2004 by Russian businessman Michel Litvak. In 2006, producer David Lancaster joined the company as co-president. After Lancaster left the company in 2014 to form their production company Rumble Films, Litvak regains control of the company. The company formed a London office in 2015, but it was later closed in 2018.

2nd Logo (January 22, 2010- )
Nickname: "The BOLD Smoke"

Logo: On a black background, the smoke forming the letters with the "B" appears, while the letters "O", "L", and "D" also appearing and then the word "FILMS" appears when the logo completes, then the logo disappears when a splash appears.

FX/SFX: The smoke forming the logo.

Music/Sounds: A mysterious chorus with a thud, none or the opening theme of the movie. Original ABC airings of Black Box used a generic theme and voiceover.

The "Television" variant is seen only on the short-lived ABC series Black Box. Don't expect to see the logo in Dominion (the television series based on the film Legion), despite both Litvak and Lancaster serves as executive producers on the series.
