'''Visuals:''' |
|||
* 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 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:''' CGI by Brian Castleforte and Greg Reynard for Kaleidoscope Films and PIC Collective. |
|||
'''Audio:''' A humming theme with a single bell, accompanied by whooshes when we pass the dunes, a thunder sound when the leaves transform, bats squeaking, and a creak. It's just merely the humming for the normal version and a calm piano piece. |
|||
'''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''. |

Background
In 2015, Gigi Pritzker and Deborah Del Prete's production company OddLot Entertainment was reorganized as Madison Wells Media (MWM Studios), and dropped the former branding in Summer 2017. Aside from its film and television business, the company has diversified to also include live theater, podcasts, and interactive experiences.
Logo (April 24, 2018- )
_(From_-_Motherless_Brooklyn).png)
Visuals: On a dark blue background, we see a white stylized "M", with a reflection of various people walking inside it, and "MADISON WELLS MEDIA" underneath. The "M" turns cyan and many 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 form an abstract "MWM" that flies to the left and turns into white to make way for "STUDIOS".
Variants:
- At the end of some films and on The Dragon Prince, the logo is white on a black background. On the latter, "STUDIOS" is omitted.
- On season 2 of Genius named Picasso, instead of the usual animation, we see a black and blue starry background with lines drawing the MWM logo, then the word "STUDIOS" appears from the left.
- A variant beside the EUE/Sokolow Entertainment exists.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None or the opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Seen on 21 Bridges, My Spy and Motherless Brooklyn and the television series The Dragon Prince.
