Skydance Animation Madrid

Background
Ilion Animation Studios is a Spanish CGI animation studio formed by the founders of Pyro Studios in 2002. The studio's best known works include Planet 51, Mortadelo and Filemon - Mission: Implausible, and Wonder Park. In 2020, the company was purchased by Skydance Media and subsequently rebranded to its current name.

(November 14, 2009-November 28, 2014)
Nickname: "The Trojan Squad"

Logo: In a deep blue space, we see a fat, stylized Trojan horse. A door opens underneath its tail and a squad of letters (in Meridien Medium font) swarm out. The big letters ride on the smaller ones as they form "ILION", while the small letters jump and form "ANIMATION STUDIOS" below it. The camera pans around the finished product as it becomes flat.

Variants:
 * The print logo was used on the port of the Planet 51 game on Nintendo DS. The name is posed under the horse in black.
 * The still version can be found on the Nintendo Wii version of Planet 51 before the still Pyro Studios logo and after the SEGA logo.

FX/SFX: Great CGI animation!

Music/Sounds: A sudden cymbal crash as the door falls down, followed by a military-style fanfare and the letters yelling cartoonish gibberish. At the very end, we hear a high-pitched voice yell something akin to "Witha...HI!", and at the "HI!" the logo cuts to black.

Availability: Seen on Planet 51, the game based on this film, and Mortadelo and Filemon - Mission: Implausible. Don't expect this logo to appear on Wonder Park, as Ilion was only an animation producer for the movie.

Legacy: A funny, creative and well animated logo. If it was used on more than just two films, it probably would have become as well remembered as the logos for the big guys (Pixar, DreamWorks, Blue Sky, Illumination, and Disney Animation).
