Thunder Road Pictures
Sagan Blob
Background
This is Basil Iwanyk's production company, formed in 2000. The company didn't debut an animated logo until 2014.
1st Logo (October 24, 2014-September 12, 2020)
.PNG){kind=logo}
Visuals: There is the bottom of the roller coaster's rail, which slowly rises to the roller coaster. The camera quickly rotates from the behind to the front of the roller coaster, which reveals "THUNDER ROAD" on a board above it. Finally, the roller coaster goes downwards.
Variants:
- A shortened version exists on The Messengers.
- On The Fugitive, the print logo is used and shares the screen with the Blackjack Films and Warner Bros. Television logos.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: It starts with some roller coaster noises, followed by people shouting when the roller coaster goes down.
Availability: Seen on John Wick, and the TV series The Messengers, among others.
2nd Logo (December 18, 2020-)

Visuals: The logo starts on a rollercoaster cart with some people riding it. The rollercoaster then goes downwards (which forms into a filmstrip flashing up) as it all cuts out to a black screen with the neon, blue words "THUNDER ROAD", with the "TH" and "UN" connected.
Trivia:
- Concept art for some unused ideas for the logo can be found here.
- More fully realized unused designs can be found on the Black Book website, including one that uses a ferris wheel instead of a roller coaster.
Technique: CGI by Black Book Studio. This was designed by Filmograph.
Audio: The same sounds from the previous logo, the opening theme of the movie or none.
Availability: Seen on newer films from the company, such as Bruised, Greenland, Voyagers, National Champions, and Monkey Man.
