1st Logo (October 29, 2020)

Visuals: "SEVEN ELEPHANTS" is shown in a curved format, reaching normal alignment by the last letter, and with solid white depth facing the bottom right.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: The logo is seen on And Tomorrow the Entire World.

2nd Logo (March 2, 2023)

Visuals: A vertical wiping effect unveils the logo from before, with black depth and white filled text, turning to face the screen and slowly zooming in through multiple takes and against a variety of background styles. The fill of the logo also changes in connection with the styles, usually either in complementary colors or a similar color scheme. The logo's texture is also altered within these takes. These include:

  • Red and pink zebra pattern.
  • A light blue background with green yellow thick rings.
  • A yellow tinted scrolling shot of a tall apartment building.
  • Aquamarine and salmon colored old computers on a dodger blue background.
  • Orange, medium purple, and spring green zebra patterns stacked on top of one another.
  • Orange insulated bottles tilting against a papaya whip background.
  • Red, white, blue, and black complex patterning.
  • A blue burst against an aquamarine background.
  • A blue-red-gold gradient expanding bullseye.
  • TV static.
  • A wireframe landscape against a black-blue gradient nighttime sky and a large blue-red-gold vertical gradient chrome sun.
  • Spring green outlined cellphones on a medium purple background.
  • Two pictures of euros banknotes, one medium sea green and the other olive, inverted, and ripping, on a yellow background.

Lastly, it cuts to the logo on a solid black background. The logo slowly expands while a dark cool tinted glow emerges from behind, unveiling its depth.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A funky, old-school hip hop instrumental fanfare with a back spin-driven track.

Availability: The logo is seen on Sun and Concrete.

3rd Logo (June 14, 2024)

Visuals: The sequence begins with cyan-magenta filled TV static. The picture stabilizes to show a layered white rhombus zooming towards the screen on a medium purple background with a blurred medium violet red and turquoise beam on the top and bottom respectively. The VHS filter is retained alongside the addition of a time and date overlay, reading "AM 1:48" and "FEB 25 1991" respectively. Within the core of the rhombus a curved, bright, and glowing, clockwise rotating object zooms in, which dims to show the logo from before after the rhombuses zoom past the screen. At that point, the screen is suffering from tracking issues that result in the shot changing to the logo tilting to the left against a cool tinted background glow against a solid black foreground.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Beginning with buzzing from the TV static, a pleasant, ascending synth string fanfare is heard before getting interrupted by static. From that point, the opening theme of the film plays.

Availability: The logo is seen on Treasure.
