Background : Pandora was a Paris-based film company and a subsidiary of Gaylord Entertainment since 1999. A year later, the new company Gaylord Films was started, entering a co-financing venture with Warner Bros. Their logos were used together during the lifespan.

3rd Logo (2000s-2002)

Logo : We see some blue slashes (the second is orange) zooms out from the left as the BG slowly turns from full-black into half black-blue.As this happen,the word "pandora" slowly slides from left where the slashes arrived.

Scare Factor : None.

4th Logo (2002-2005)

Nicknames : "The Key", "Gaylord Key", "Pandora Key"

Logo : We see a key falling from an orange sky. It lands in a hand (by this point the sky is blue), which uses the key to unlock a door. It opens and light comes out, which overtakes the screen. It turns into a keyhole shape, with either one of these texts fading in below:

Variant : Sometimes, the light scene is only seen. This can be found on new prints of Donnie Darko.
 * "PANDORA", then the byline "a gaylord films company" in spaced-out letters to fit the width of "PANDORA", fades in soon after.
 * "GAYLORD" followed by "FILMS" in a smaller font fading in soon after.

FX/SFX : Seems to be a mix of live-action and CGI. Oddly evocative of the Phoenix Pictures logo.

Music/Sounds : The opening theme of the movie or a beautiful synth choir tune.

Availability : The Pandora version is scarce and appears on White Oleander, Grind, Cypher, and Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie. The Gaylord version is very common and is seen on What a Girl Wants, Duma, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,and Welcome to Collinwood. Other appearances are unknown at this time.

Scare Factor : None to minimal.
