2nd Logo (October 30, 2007-January 22, 2013)
Logo: We see a rippling blue ocean with a dark shaded circular object in the middle. The shade then narrows and curves counterclockwise. It curves clockwise, and upon completing its curve, dark blue silhouettes of three leaping dolphins form. The screen flashes as we transition to a white background, with the dolphins becoming thin, uncolored blue lines. Text, with "DOLPHIN" on top in large, light blue, slim text on top and "entertainment" in small, dark blue, thick text below it, ripples in.

Variants: TBA.

FX/SFX: The rippling and fading.

Music/Sounds: Ocean waves and dolphin chirps.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo: Underwater, we see a dolphin swimming. Another dolphin ends up joining, then a third. They then leap out of the ocean onto a light blue background, where they become 2D, and the ocean becomes a line that shines and waves like water. The text "DOLPHIN FILMS" zooms to the sides of the dolphins, "DOLPHIN" being in skinny light blue text and "FILMS" thick dark blue. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: Great CGI by Creative Capers Entertainment!

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme.

Availability: Seen on Justin Bieber's Believe and the infamous Max Steel.

Editor's Note: A very well-animated logo, though it’s wasted because it was only used on two movies.
