A24 Films

Background : A24 Films is an American film distribution, production, and finance company formed in 2012 by marketing and distribution veterans Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges. Their first film was released the next year.

(February 8, 2013-)

Logo : On a retro-style black background, a white stripe flies down diagonally with colorful shadows. This is followed by a horizontal stripe and a vertical stripe, both of which fly in next to the diagonal one. A circle and a semicircle slide out on top of the horizontal stripe, and several thin lines fly and drawn in near the shapes, forming the text "A24". The logo remains on-screen before folding away.

Variants :
 * There was a prototype variant of this logo where the animation is much different. The logo begins on a shaky black screen for a few moments before several shapes flash on the screen in multiple colors and then quickly back away in white. The shapes float for a moment before they fold out, revealing that they are "A24", before the normal movie logo is played reversed and sped-up.

FX/SFX : The sliding of the shapes, the background.

Music/Sounds : A bassy synth bed--the "basses" being provided by acoustic violins. This was only used on the Vimeo version, as films with this logo use no sound instead. The rejected prototype featured a chiptune theme.

Availability : Seen on all films from the company starting with A Glimpse in the Mind of Charles Swan III.

Scare Factor : Minimal for all the variants, as they could surprise some.
