Millennium Films

Background : Millennium Films was created in 1996 as a high-budget division of Nu Image.

1st Logo (1998-2011)

Nicknames : "Blue M", "Millennium Blue M"

Logo : On a black background, a stylized blue "M" draws itself. Then the word "MILLENNIUM" wipes in from left to right below the "M". "FILMS" (with a lineabove the word) fades in below "MILLENNIUM". FX/SFX : Simple drawing.

Music/Sounds : None or music from any given soundtrack.

Availability : Common. Seen on Belly of the Beast, 88 Minutes, Derailed (2002), Blind Horizon, The Expendables, Mad Money, Rambo (2008), and 16 Blocks, among others.

Scare Factor : None.

2nd Logo (February 2011- ) Nickname : "Millennium Cube"

Logo : On a black background, several red Tetris like shapes fly in away from the screen and come together in the center to form a red cube, which then rotates into place, revealing a white "M". A flash appears behind the cube, and the word "MILLENNIUM" unfolds. The word "FILMS" fades in a few seconds later.

Trivia : The logo ran into problems due to an ongoing graphic design infringement suit filed by Bill Dawson over the M-cube design. Though the results are not quite clear, some recent films lacked the cube.

Variants :
 * Some early films had the logo cut short.
 * On The Expendables 2 video game, a white background is used.
 * A still version exists.
 * On Bernie, the word FILMS is replaced with ENTERTAINMENT.

FX/SFX : The pieces flying in, rotation of the cube, expanding of the word "MILLENNIUM". Nothing special, but looks better than the previous logo.

Music/Sounds : None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability : Uncommon. Seen in Drive Angry and Bernie among others. This plasters both the 1st Overseas Filmgroup and 1953 20th Century Fox logos on the recent UK Blu-Ray and DVD of Southern Comfort.

Scare Factor : None.
