OddLot Entertainment

(2005-2018)

Logo:

• Ominous 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 as the sky turns quickly into night with a moon, turning the logo into 16:9. "DarkLot" is seen above the box with "ENTERTAINMENT" below. The leaves on the tree suddenly change into bats that fly off.
• Normal version: The box takes a smaller part of the screen, "Odd" replaces "Dark" and the logo remains in the day.

Variant:

• On The Spirit, 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 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.

FX/SFX: The camera/box movement. The leaf transformation on the ominous variant.

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 peaceful 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.

Editor's Note: None.

(2018- )

Logo: On a dark blue background, we see a cyan stylized "M", with a reflection of various people walking inside it, and "MADISON WELLS MEDIA" underneath. Some other larger "M" and "W" shapes zoom out, with the text fading out, and the camera stops zooming out as the shapes fade out, with the exception of the inner three, which then flies to the left and turns into white to make way for "STUDIOS".

Variant: On the end of some films and shows, the logo is white on a black background.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Current. Seen on 21 Bridges, My Spy and Motherless Brooklyn.

Editor's Note: None.
