Background

Weird Pretty Pictures is an Irish film production company.

Logo (October 13, 2013-)

Visuals: On a black background and within a rectangular box mask, a highly distorted and bit-crunched sequence of a little girl opening her jaw wide toward the screen with large amounts of exposure and contrast is shown. A few seconds in the sequence, "weird pretty pictures", in a hand-drawn font, white colour, and dim shadow, fades in and shake rapidly, stabilizing after the girl's head exits the shot.

Variants:

  • On Video Nasty, the logo is put through a VHS filter. Static briefly interrupts the sequence three times: one in the middle and two near the end.
  • On In A Stranger's House, the logo glitches at the end.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: With a reverb effect, a little girl says "Hello everybody. It's somewhere out there", followed by an ominous, muffled, and ascending drone.

Availability: The logo is seen on Sodium Party, In A Stranger's House, Video Nasty, and the end of Bring Out the Fear.
