'''QED International''' is an independent film production, financing, and international distribution company founded in 2002 by Bill Block. The company's name stands for "'''Q'''uod '''E'''rat '''D'''emonstrandum" ("which was to be demonstrated"), a Latin phrase typically placed at the end of mathematical proofs. The filled square in their logo is a symbol for the phrase.

Trivia: The company's name stands for Quod Erat Demonstrandum ("which was to be demonstrated"), a Latin phrase used after the end of mathematical proof. The filled square is also a symbol of this statement.

QED International (2009)

Nickname: "Flying Maths"

Logo: On a dark background, an explosion bursts with a heap of golden mathematical symbols, which fly towards us in a red light. Then they stop flying, hang around for a second and are pulled back into the square. QED International in the same font, but shining, rise above.

FX/SFX: Much more effort here, the flying symbols in CGI.

Music/Sounds: Explosion sound, flying sounds, then the pulling-back noise.

Availability: Current, seen in films like The Lucky Ones, District 9, The Echo and others.

Background

QED International is an independent film production, financing, and international distribution company founded in 2002 by Bill Block. The company's name stands for "Quod Erat Demonstrandum" ("which was to be demonstrated"), a Latin phrase typically placed at the end of mathematical proofs. The filled square in their logo is a symbol for the phrase.

1st Logo (September 7, 2007-April 11, 2008)


Visuals: On a grainy brown surface is a mirrored image of a mathematical theorem. On the other side of the board is a hand finishing the equation, then drawing a square below. The hand pokes the square with its pen, turning it red as the background fades to black. Above the square is the stacked name "QED INTERNATIONAL".

Technique: Live-action and 2D computer animation.

Audio: A calm synth string theme.

Availability: Can be found on The Hunting Party and Smart People.

2nd Logo (September 26, 2008-)


Visuals: On a black background, a golden burst of light forms, causing various mathematical symbols to fly towards the camera. The symbols briefly hover in place before being sucked back into the light, which dies down to reveal the square from the previous logo, now in gold. The name rises from the square to its usual place, but with "QED" in 3D and shining.

Technique: CGI by yU+co.

Audio: In order: an explosion, whooshes, a shining sound, more whooshes, and a low rumble.

Availability: Seen on such films as The Lucky Ones, District 9, and The Echo, among others. This doesn't appear on Dirty Grandpa.
