Availability: Found on the failed pilot of Him & Us, as well as It's a Boy Girl Thing.
2nd Logo (11 February 2011)

3rd Logo (23 March 2018-)
Visuals: On a black background, several golden stars zoom past us. A golden light comes through, and the camera zooms through a nebula as the star illuminates the rotating gold text "ROCKET", with "PICTURES" below it in a smaller and different font. A blue nebula shines behind the company name, and it askews for a few seconds. Then, several copies of the name zoom in front of us, turning the space background into a parchment-like color, and "ROCKET" zooms in. The background then fades to the first scene of the movie.
Technique: CGI.
