QED International

1st Logo (2007-2008)
Nickname : "Quod Erat Demonstrandum"

Logo : We can see a grainy brown surface, where the hand writes the theorem solution (the image is mirrored). The hand ends the writings and draws a square. The square grows up and turns red, while all other objects disappear, and QED International can be seen above.

Trivia : The company's name stands for Quod Erat Demonstrandum ("which was to be demonstrated"), a Latin phrase used after the end of mathematical proof. The filled square is also a symbol of this statement.

FX/SFX : Simple animation of the square, and live hand movement.

Music/Sounds : Calm note playing.

Availability : Can be found on The Hunting Party and international prints of Smart People.

Scare Factor : None.

2nd Logo (2008-)
Nickname : "Flying Maths"

Logo : On a dark background, an explosion bursts with a heap of golden mathematical symbols, which fly towards us in a red light. Then they stop flying, hang around for a second and are pulled back into the square. QED International in the same font, but shining, rise above.

FX/SFX : Much more effort here, the flying symbols in CGI.

Music/Sounds : Explosion sound, flying sounds, then the pulling-back noise.

Availability : Current, seen in films like The Lucky Ones, District 9, The Echo and others.

Scare Factor : Low.
