2nd Logo

(2010-present)

Logo: In a cloudy sky, we see a light blue circle and three yellow-orange shapes zoom out. The shapes shine and then settle inside the circle to form a number 4. The end result looks similar to the Fantastic Four logo. The text "PHASE 4 FILMS" shines in below.

FX/SFX: The clouds, the circle and shapes zooming out, the text shining. Decent CGI.

Music/Sounds: A dramatic orchestral fanfare.

Availability: Seen on films from the company, and a huge amount of poorly-done animated movies and mockbusters, such as Donkey X. Also seen on all Kaboom! Entertainment releases starting in 2010.

Scare Factor: Minimal to low. The shapes zooming out and the fanfare may get to a few.
