(February 12, 2010-December 25, 2012)

Logo: We quickly zoom out above a desert, when the sun moves down to darkness. A sand pile rises up and forms the curve of a golden "D". The letter has some kind of dune on its bottom. The name "DUNE ENTERTAINMENT" is below.

Variant: On Prometheus, the logo is tinted in bluish-gray, and the finished product is silver.

Technique: The panning, the sand forming the "D". All in practical CGI.

Music/Sounds: A ascending synth drone with a windy sound when the sand rises up. Otherwise, it's the opening theme of the film.

Availability: Uncommon. First appeared on Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and then on The A-Team, Gulliver's Travels, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Mr. Popper's Penguins, Unstoppable and Knight and Day. However on some movies such as The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Diary of a Wimpy Kid don't have this logo. The last film to use this logo is Parental Guidance.
