Grindstone Entertainment Group

1st logo

(2010-2012?) Nicknames : "The Grindstone I"

Logo : We zoom out on some kind of tunnel on a black background that reveals to be a grindstone, in form of an "O" which is grinding the letter "n", other letters form, which end up revealing the word "Grindstone", with "Grind" in an orange color and "Stone" in a grey color, with the white words "Entertainment Group" below. The grindstone stops grinding the "n", and after that, we see that it formed some kind of yellow spark.

FX/SFX : Great CGI animation!

Music/Sounds : Sounds of the grindstone grinding are heard during the whole logo, which end in a "whoosh" sound when stops grinding the letter "n".

Availability : Seen on some DVD and theatrical releases by the company during that era.

2nd logo

(2012?- ) Nicknames : "The Grindstone II"

Logo : On a black background we see some sparks, illuminating the grindstone from the last logo grinding, again, the letter "n", the sparks illuminate more the background, revealing the 3D text "Grindstone Entertainment Group", the sparks then shine the whole background, finally revealing the whole logo, which looks exactly like the last one.

Variant : On the American DVD release of Wings, the logo already formed an zooms on a black background.
