Bad Robot Pictures

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

This is the film arm of Bad Robot Productions, owned by J.J. Abrams. Their first movie was Joy Ride, released in 2001. They did not use a proper movie logo until 2008. In 2006, the company signed a deal with Paramount Pictures to distribute their films, which lasted until 2019, when they moved to Warner Bros. Pictures. The deal with Warner Bros was then renewed in December 2024.

1st Logo (January 18, 2008-December 16, 2011)

Visuals: A redone version of the TV logo. In a box with a tall field of grass against a foggy sky, all on a black background, the camera pushes through a grassy field. Suddenly, a silhouette runs across the screen. The robot, now done in CGI, enters from the left side of the box to take its usual position, with its body obscured by grass. The picture turns into a drawing and "BAD ROBOT" in the same font as in the TV logo, fades in under the box.

Variant: Starting with Morning Glory, the fog is replaced by an evening sky with more realistic-looking clouds, and the robot looks smoother.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie or silence.

2nd Logo (May 16, 2013-)

Visuals: A remastered version of the 2010 logo. The camera moves through some tall grass to reveal a more detailed field and sky (this time, it takes up the whole frame instead of being boxed in). The robot makes its entrance, and the picture zooms out against a black background. The end result is similar to before except when the picture turns into a drawing, the robot blinks. Also, unlike the previous logo, the fog in the drawing animates.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie or silence.

Audio Variant: On J.J. Abrams' two Star Wars films and Infinitely Polar Bear, some atmospheric noises are heard (grass rustling, wind blowing, birds chirping, etc.), followed by a popping noise when the robot appears on screen, and at the end, the two kids saying the company name as in its television counterpart.
