STX Entertainment

Background: STX Entertainment is a Los Angeles based film and television studio, founded by Robert Simonds and Bill McGlashan in 2014.

1st Logo (2014-2015)
Logo: On a black background, the following text fades in: STX ENTERTAINMENT Variant: On State of Affairs, the logo is in the bottom-right corner, with the Aardwolf logo in the top-left.

FX/SFX: None.

Cheesy Factor: A simple and uninspired logo. However, this was probably a placeholder.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the trailer, or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first trailer for The Gift and the short-lived thriller series, State of Affairs.

Scare Factor: None.

2nd Logo (2015-present)
Logo: On a black background, a yellow-blue ray of light, with some tiny particles beside it, flashes into view. A few seconds later, a glass cube starts to zoom in, causing the flash to de-intensify, and another ray of light to flash into view, this time upward. The upward ray of light moves downward in result of the cube starting to rotate, later becoming faster and faster, until it shoots 3 symmetry light rays, which forms the STX letters. The text "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in. Below that is a thin glass line, which shines a small rainbow ray.

Later Variant: Beginning with the American release of The Circle, "ENTERTAINMENT" is replaced with "films" in spaced out letters.

FX/SFX: The cube slicing to form the logo. Brilliant CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Whooshing sounds and a guitar sound, later replaced with a ascending majestic score.

Availability: Debuted on The Gift, and appears on newer movies from STX Entertainment.

Scare Factor: Minimal to low. The whooshing may startle some, but this is a massive step-up from the previous logo.
