Roth Films

(June 1, 2012-2017)

Logo: On a black background, we see a side view of a train passing by. The view moves closer as it goes to back of the train and the light makes a trail effect which materializes into the words "ROTH FILMS" both in white and spaced out with films below and line forming between the words.

Variants:

  • There is a version that reads "R|F".
  • A short version is seen at the end movies.

FX/SFX: The train passing and the light trail, good CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme or silence.

Availability: Seen on some movies such as Snow White and the Huntsman, Oz: The Great and Powerful, Million Dollar Arm, Heaven is for Real, Maleficent and In the Heart of the Sea.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Logo (January 20, 2017)

Logo: On a black background, we see a circle. On the left is the black circle with the words "R" and the word "FIL" on white. On the right is the black circle with the word "K" and the word "MS" in black.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen at the end of xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (October 18, 2019-)

Logo: We start out from the clouds as a subway passes over as some birds fly and the city moves. It pans out from a 1950s-esque apartment bar sign with the word "RK" and two circles passing over on the sign, as a person walks by and a car is seen driving. The camera pans and rotates over to the sign as the scenery darkens to black, while a blue circle with "films" below flickers in. The sign then blinks for a moment.

Variants:

  • A shortened version exists.
  • On the HBO series The Plot Against America, it fades in just before the blue parts of the sign flicker in and cuts out after the blinking.

FX/SFX: Illustrated animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening/closing theme.

Availability: First seen on Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and was later seen on Dolittle and the TV series The Plot Against America.

Editor's Note: None.
