1st Logo (2004-2010s)
Visuals: A purple orb is seen, displaying footage of a film projector at different angles. A flash would occur, revealing the orb to be the lens in a camera. The orb would slide out as various white comets and a filmstrip fly around, the latter curving as the orb settles in the curve's lower hump. The background would brighten to a white background with purple splotches and arced light rays, while the orb rotates to reveal a white "!" and the text "here films" appears in a stacked manner next to the orb. Everything would vanish in a flash.
Technique: 3D animation.
Audio: A triumphant fanfare composed by Pei Pei Chung.
Availability: Appeared on Hellbent, among other LGBTQ+ films from the period.
2nd Logo (2010s-)
Visuals: The word "here" is seen against a moving glass filmstrip. The letters would move back, along with the orb and the word "Films" in white.
Technique: 3D animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Unknown.
