Pariah Films
From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum
Background
This is Gavin Polone's production company, founded in May 2001.
Logo (September 12, 2002-)
Visuals: Set on a crumbled village, a red-cloaked man emerges from a stack of rocks as an angry mob chases him in the distance, while the glowing gold word "PARIAH" is seen above. The man runs against the screen as the mob comes closer while his cloak covers up the screen.
Variants:
- A long version exists where the man's emergence is darker and after he runs up at the screen, a fire arrow is launched and forms the company name above on a black background.
- A still version exists.
Technique: 2D hand-drawn animation.
Audio: A dramatic orchestrated fanfare with the sound of bells and a wordless chorus. On TV shows, the mob are heard chanting "The evil one!" and "Get him!".
Audio Variants:
- During the early use of this logo, it had a dramatic medieval theme with the sound of the mob, with some additional banter between both sentences.
- On Zombieland, it used a different theme played with dogs barking in the background and a lone church bell when the text appears.
- Sometimes, the closing theme of the show or the network's generic theme plays over the logo.
