Nicknames: "The Red Swirl IV", "CGI Red Swirl II', "The Red R IV", "CGI Red R II", "Smooth R", "The Second Movie Logo"

Logo: On a black background, some red sparks start to appear briefly, three times, until the big spark bursts out, turning into a big mess of red stripes that go through the lake of the forest. During that, the red stripes changes to orange, until it hits into the water. The stripes rises from the water, forming the famous "R" logo, except without jagged edges. The words "ROVIO" in white with "ANIMATION" (In a length fitted to fit "ROVIO") below fades in, as the orange color of the "R" fades to solid red, with the sparks disappearing. The logo freezes and the whole thing fades to black.

Variants: There's a short version that starts a few seconds in. On The Angry Birds Movie 2, the bottom line reads "ENTERTAINMENT" instead (it can be assumed that Sony Pictures Animation did the animation for the film instead of Rovio)

FX/SFX: Beautiful CGI animation done by Picture Mill.
