Logo: On a black background, we see the Epix logo rotating down. While rotating, the {{Font color|orange|orange}} "{{Font color|orange|i}}" in the text lights up the rest of the text to {{Font color|lightgrey|light gray}}. After rotating, the text "{{Font color|orange|Original Series}}" appears in {{Font color|orange|orange}}.

  • A short version is seen on the end of the first episode of Graves.
  • Documentary: The text "{{Font color|orange|Original Series}}" replaced by "{{Font color|orange|Original Documentary}}".
  • Comedy: The text "{{Font color|orange|Original Series}}" replaced by "{{Font color|orange|Original Comedy}}".
  • After MGM closed Viacom and Lionsgate's acquisition of Epix, the logo was updated. "{{Font color|orange|Original Series}}" is now replaced with "A Presentation of Epix Entertainment LLC.", with the byline "AN MGM COMPANY" below. A similar byline setup as seen on the end of original programs on the Showtime Networks.
