We then cut to a rough square-like design with a spinning film reel in the center and the original IFC logo in the bottom left. Two lines extend from the top left and bottom right, and "ifc original production" with the channel name both larger and in red blurs in. A red, bright square moves to the right while another zooms in.

4th Logo (2006-2010)
Nickname : "The Jar"
