Background: A24 Films is an American film distribution, production, and finance company formed in 2012 by marketing and distribution veterans Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges. Their first film was released the next year.
(February 8, 2013-)[]
Logo: On a retro-style black background, a white stripe flies down diagonally with colorful shadows. This is followed by a horizontal stripe and a vertical stripe, both of which fly in next to the diagonal one. A circle and a semicircle slide out on top of the horizontal stripe, and several thin lines fly and drawn in near the shapes, forming the text "A24". The logo remains on-screen before folding away.
Variants:
- A prototype version exists. Here, the logo begins on a shaky black screen for a few moments before several shapes flash on the screen in multiple colors and then quickly back away in white. The shapes float for a moment before they fold out, revealing that they are "A24", before the regular logo is played reversed and sped-up.
- On TV spots and web ads for Pearl, the logo is in red and placed over an exterior shot.
FX/SFX: The sliding of the shapes, the background.
Music/Sounds: None.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- A bassy synth bed--the "basses" being provided by acoustic violins. This was only used on the Vimeo version.
- The prototype featured a chiptune theme.
Availability: Seen on all films from the company starting with A Glimpse in the Mind of Charles Swan III. Surprisingly, it also appears at the start of the 2022 Lionsgate Blu-ray of The Exorcism of God, a film A24 was not involved in.
