Logo: On a black background, we see a blue CGI flat square flipping to shine and reveal a hole in it with reflections of the other items. Then the other CGI 3D flat shapes are seen which is a white square, the window frame in the same color as the square, a light blue dot and a circle in the same white color. Then it merged together and it flashes turning it 2D to reveal the word "Basic" inside it and outside has a white outlining and has a rectangle with the word "Pictures" in grey. Then the blue light is shown outside the box with the Chinese characters fading in below.

Variant: Later versions of this logo has the box bluer.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A deep crystalized tune ending with a short set of piano notes.

Availability: Seen on their films until 2010.

Legacy: It's quite similar to the New Line Cinema logo from 1994 to 2010.
