Logo: On a black background, a red slash is drawn down. This cuts to a white handprint materializing before distorting to a splotch, followed by another red slash and a fist print materializing. The fist print distorts as tire tracks form, these traveling to the right to simulate movement before cutting to a black and white brick wall. After cutting to a barely visible red splotch, two white bars resembling highway dividers appear from an angle and more red splotches appear, before cutting to two white footprints materializing, followed by a cut to expanded sheet metal at different distances. This is followed by some red and white splotches appearing, along with a man's face rapidly appearing and moving to different angles. Finally, we see various white and red lines draw in before cutting to the logo; three circles with the number "360" in the one furthest to the right in red, with "pictures" on the far bottom right of the circles. This slowly zooms back, as the circles draw out and the remaining splotch cuts toward the viewer.

Variant: A still version exists at the end of its films.

Technique: Unique abstract painting-like animation or none.

Music/Sounds: Various whooshes played at different tones, along with some sound effects to fit with what happens in most parts of the logo, ending with a loud clang once the logo is formed.

Availability: Appeared Crossover and I Know Who Killed Me. It also appeared on April Fools Day (2008).

Legacy: This logo has a very interesting concept, making use of more abstract animation and an atmosphere that fits the nature of the two films it was attached to. It is a shame this logo is attached to films with such infamous reputations.
