Nicknames: "I Made This!", "Filmreel"

Logo: In a blurred, typewriter font (ITC American Typewriter), the text "TEN THIRTEEN PRODUCTIONS" is seen on a black background with "PRODUCTIONS" below "TEN THIRTEEN". After a few seconds, "in association with" appears below.

Trivia:

• The voice of the boy is supplied by Nathan Couturier, the son of the show's supervising sound editor, Thierry Couturier.
• The name of the company is a reference to creator Chris Carter's birthdate of October 13th.

FX/SFX: The film effects.

Music/Sounds: We hear the sound of a film reel running, followed by a boy saying "I made this!".

Editor's Note: The recording quality is a little off, but was done purposely. The atmosphere and sounds can be more than a little creepy, but it’s a popular logo with fans of The X-Files.
