Background

DEJ Productions was founded in 1998 as a film distribution company by Blockbuster. It soon expanded into global distribution. Its name was derived from the first name initials of Blockbuster's three top executives (Dean Wilson, Ed Stead and John Antioco) at the time. In 2005, it was announced that First Look Studios purchased the company and was folded in 2006.

3rd Logo (September 23, 2005-June 2, 2006)

Visuals: The camera moves backwards over a darkened shield surface, which looks like a distorted filmstrip. When the shield comes to the center, two components of it appear from top and bottom and join the logo, forming a stylized wing. The letters "DEJ" uncover from beyond each other, with "P R O D U C T I O N S" below. The entire logo is in rusty brown colors.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A harp-trumpet-choir fanfare.
