Background

Shueisha Inc. (株式会社集英社), is one of Japan’s leading publishers, best known for their magazine Weekly Shonen Jump. They use an animated logo for motion picture adaptations of their published properties.

Logo (Mid 2010's)

Visuals: On a lime green background, a light orange circle with a smaller black circle inside appears at the bottom of the screen, accompanied by a blue ripple. The circles move upwards as lines that change into the back of a blue pencil, while a piece of paper appears with a tiny top-left folded black corner. Both these objects spin while the paper multiplies into seven sheets, arranged horizontally. When the pencil falls on the middle paper twice tip-first, a tiny blue and light orange circle fly around, while five vertical lines appear on each paper copy before converging into a black book with a blue spine. The pencil and blue dot merge into the book's spine, while the light orange dot falls into the book's pages by transforming into a bookmark that pulls itself out. This removal spins the book anticlockwise, turning it into a clapperboard with a black slate and blue clapper sticks, while the light orange bookmark joins with it as two horizontal lines. The top clapper stick is raised and slammed down, turning the clapperboard into a running filmstrip that's light orange, blue and black. This is followed by the filmstrip shrinking and shortening itself, turning horizontally, flipping and multiplying into three identical ones. Small blue lines leave each filmstrip as the left filmstrip rotates vertically, where they change into kanji that briefly assumes multiple colors before settling on black. The similarly colored "SHEUISHA" text, written in Windsor font, appears below the kanji.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Sounds of paper, the clapperboard, the filmstrip and the pen with a synth note at the end.

Audio Variants: On Death Note: Light Up the NEW World, the sounds are almost the same as the original, with a few exceptions. The book section has a deep synth, the clapper stick slamming is replaced by the sound of metal being hit, and the final synth note is played in a lower, ominous key.

Availability: Seen of the live-action adaptations of Gintama, Kuroko's Basketball The Movie: Last Game, and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train.

Visuals: On a white background, multiple transparent animated bubbles float from left to right, changing colors from gold to light purple. Amidst these bubbles, three solid aqua blue ones slowly approach the middle of the screen, each containing a drawing. One bubble contains three photobooth pictures of a man posing, another is a magazine cover with two people, and the final one is a fountain pen nib. Four more clear, light blue bubbles move closer to the screen and pop, while the solid ones pop from left to right to reveal a blue kanji that makes up the company name. Afterwards, the slightly smaller "SHUEISHA" text appears through a wipe transition from top to bottom.

Variants: A slightly sped-up version exists.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: An eight-note synth tone, accompanied by popping bubble sounds. Otherwise, it's silent.

Audio Variants: On the slightly sped-up version, a different three-note synth tone plays.

Availability:The logo debuted on Jujutsu Kaisen 0, and is used by the company ever since, such as in the sequels to the live-action adaptation of Kingdom, Spy × Family Code: White, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – To the Hashira Training, and Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle.
