'''Logo:'''
*Normal version: The logo starts in the CinemaScope ratio. The camera moves through clouds to reveal a desert surface. The camera moves quickly around a tree that is seen on one of the dunes but with a big distance, and a box outline appears around the tree, turning the logo into 16:9. "{{color|orange|Odd}}Lot" is seen above the box with "ENTERTAINMENT" below.
*Ominous version: The box takes a larger part of the screen, "{{color|orange|Dark}}" replaces "Odd" and the logo turns into in nighttime with a moon once the box zooms out. The leaves on the tree suddenly change into bats that fly off.

'''Variants:'''
*On Cinemascope films, the ratio doesn't change once the box zooms out.
*On ''The Spirit'' and ''Green Street Hooligans 2: Stand Your Ground'', the DarkLot variant is shown but with "Dark" replaced by "Odd".
*Starting with ''Mortdecai'', the animation is enhanced with a different tree with a glass box that flashes and flips around to reveal a print version of the tree with a line with the same "OddLot" name with "ENTERTAINMENT" in a different font and outside the glass box some clouds are seen moving.
*On season 1 of ''Genius'' named ''Einstein'', it shares the screen with the [[EUE/Sokolow Entertainment]] logo. Also, the logo is sped up.

'''Technique:''' The camera/box movement. The leaf transformation on the ominous variant. Animated by Brian Castleforte and Greg Reynard for Kaleidoscope Films.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A humming theme with a single bell, a thunder sound when the leaves transform, bats squeaking, and a creak. It's just merely the humming for the normal version.

'''Availability:''' The OddLot version is common and can be seen on ''Green Street'', ''Draft Day'', ''From Prada to Nada'' and ''Suburban Girl'', among others. The DarkLot version used to be more common but is nowadays rather rare, and only appeared on ''Buried Alive'', ''Undead or Alive'' and ''Living Hell''. The DarkLot/OddLot version is also rare, and it only appeared on ''The Spirit'' and ''Green Street Hooligans 2: Stand Your Ground''.
