1st Logo (March 6, 2009)
Visuals: There is a panorama of the city where the camera zooms out in blue skies. The ladder appears to be sticking out of the clouds, the shadow man climbs it, and switches the lamp on. When it lights, the white letters of GK FILMS appear, and the starfield appearing and the lamp became a star. The ladders become the letter I, the city fades away, and man jumps off and hides himself behind L.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: A soft orchestral theme composed by Andrew Hagen.
Availability: Appears on the first GK movie The Young Victoria.
2nd Logo (January 29, 2010-)
Visuals: There is a close-up of a giant dirty-white construction of "GK" letters (set in Chalet New York 1960), whose parts are disarranged. When the screen zooms out, the letters get into normal view and a soft flash creates "films" (set in Chalet Paris 1960). The flash is behind "f". There are also some light effects in the background.
Variant: On Camelot and Continuum, "films" is replaced by "-tv" and the logo is tinted in the colors of brown and blue.
Technique: CGI by Devastudios.
Audio: A dramatic fanfare composed by Pop Peeranat of Out of Office Music and Craig Stuart Garfinkle, or the opening theme.
Availability: Seen on current movies by Graham King like The Town and Edge of Darkness.
3rd Logo (Argo variant) (October 12, 2012)
Visuals: On a black background, the GK Films print logo from before zooms out and spins to the middle of the screen, as several copies of it streak out, a la the CBS Special Presentation opening.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None.
Availability: Only seen on Argo.
