ImageMovers, L.L.C. was founded as the in-name-only "South Side Amusement Company" in 1984 by Robert Zemeckis. It was officially incorporated as ImageMovers, L.L.C. in 1997 by Zemeckis along with producers Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey. They didn't use an animated logo until What Lies Beneath and Cast Away, which were both released in 2000.
Visuals: On a black background, a light shines through the lower-middle-left of the screen. It later dies down, revealing a train that bears a resemblance to the Reading Streamlined Crusader that moves forward, with the text "IMAGEMOVERS" slowly swinging in and stretching underneath the train. When the train gets fully to the screen, the screen flashes, and the text appears fully underneath the train in a gold-silver color, as the train becomes a still image and has the back trains on it turning into filmstrips. The logo slowly zooms out when it is completed.
