Original Film

Background : Original Film is a film and television production company founded in 1997 by Neal H. Moritz. No proper logo was used until 1999 when Shasta McNasty premiered, and no logo was used on movies until the release of The Skulls in 2000. It was sometimes referred to as "Neal H. Moritz Productions".

Neal H. Moritz Productions
(October 5, 1999-August 1, 2000)

Logo : On a wall, we see an old television set with static. We then see the words zooming in: A PRODUCTION A hand comes in and turns the TV off.

FX/SFX : It's all live-action, plus the text zooming in.

Music/Sounds : The sounds of the TV static, along with a power-off sound when the TV is turned off. Basically sounds corresponding to the actions.

Availability : Seen only on the UPN sitcom Shasta McNasty. The logo was also going to be used on Manchester Prep, but the project was reworked into the direct-to-video feature Cruel Intentions 2.

Editor's Note : On most uses, you could barely make out a face in the top right corner. This would ordinarily be covered depending on your TV.

1st Logo
(October 17, 1997-February 1, 2000)

Logo : On a black background, we see the print logo of Original Film from the era. It consists of the original frame with speaker face is placed inside the box, and the background in the frame is white. The word "ORIGINAL" is posed vertically left to the frame and "FILM" appears below (a la the 1991-2005 LucasArts logo), all in black, with the small green square in the corner dividing them.

FX/SFX : None.

Music/Sounds : The end theme of the TV movie.

Availability : Seen on the TV movie ''Cabin by the Lake. It also appeared at the end of I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997).''

Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo
(October 17, 1997-April 29, 2004)



Logo : In darkness, there appears a yellow director chair. The scene slowly moves, revealing other contents of the recording room - the director sitting with his megaphone, the man with camera, lights and microphone. Then we see the speaker with a striped bar under his head. All the action is made in unique decorative design and using limited amount of colors, including yellow, green, dark blue and brown. The green speaker's head with bar remains in the frame, while other background becomes black and the name appears, reading "ORIGINALFILM" in custom font. The word "FILM" is placed directly below the frame.

Variant : On Cruel Intentions 2 and Return of Cabin by the Lake, the logo is shortened, beginning with the fade-in of the name.

FX/SFX : The picture gradually fading in, there are no other action.

Music/Sounds : A simple uprising composition composed by John Debney.

Music/Sounds Variants :
 * On Slackers, the opening theme is heard.
 * On Cruel Intentions 2, it is silent.

Availability : Rare, appeared not on every movie, but was seen on the direct-to-video film Cruel Intentions 2 and The Skulls trilogy. It also appears on Return of Cabin by the Lake. Debuted in I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Editor's Note : None.

3rd Logo
(August 8, 2003- )

Logo : We see the spinning silver letter "O" appearing from the darkness. Then it moves left, making room for other letters of the words "ORIGINAL FILM", covered by two lines above and below the logo. The logo shines.

Variants :
 * Starting in 2010, the logo was given a more enhanced look.
 * On TV shows, the logo is shortened.
 * On some TV shows, the logo is still.
 * On Tru Calling, the logo is stretched and it simply fades in as the letters of "RIGINAL FILM" move from the "O".
 * On the 2017 version of S.W.A.T., the logo is above the Perfect Storm Entertainment logo.
 * On Point Pleasant and The Boys, it is in warp speed.
 * On the 2017 version of Prison Break, the print logo is used.

FX/SFX : CGI.

Music/Sounds : None or the opening theme of the movie. On 2003-2005 TV shows, a humming-like whoosh is heard. NBC airings of Save Me and CBS airings of the 2017 version of S.W.A.T., as well as Fox airings of Tru Calling, Point Pleasant and Prison Break used a generic theme.

Availability : First seen on S.W.A.T. Common on movies, such as Vantage Point, Made of Honor, The Bounty Hunter, Gridiron Gang, the Goosebumps movies, R.I.P.D., Jack the Giant Slayer, Battle: Los Angeles, the 2012 remake of Total Recall, the Fast and the Furious franchise from its 4th through its 8th installments, Escape Room and Prom Night. The enhanced version debuted on The Bounty Hunter, and has been seen on movies involving the company ever since, although some movies, like Goosebumps: Haunted Halloween and Bloodshot, used the previous version of the logo. Although the print logo appears on the packaging for The Skulls III, the film used the previous logo. Vice-versa on Cruel Intentions 3 and I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, which used the previous logo on the packaging, it used the logo on the film itself. Some films do not show the logo itself, such as Stealth, Click or xXx: State of the Union. The TV version can be seen on Prison Break, Tru Calling, the ultra short-lived Point Pleasant, The Big C, NBC's Save Me, Preacher, the 2017 version of S.W.A.T., Happy! and The Boys.
