A24 Films

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 2013-present)
Logo: On a retro-style black background, a white stripe flies down diagonally splitted into red, green, and blue color channels. 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:
 * There was a prototype variant of this logo where the animation is much different--it eventually went unused. The logo begins on a shaky black screen for a few moments before several shapes flash on the screen in multiple colors in timing with the 3-note melody and then quickly back away in white. The shapes float for a moment before they fold out, revealing that they are "A24", before breaking apart in the style of the movie logo's formation.
 * On The Spectacular Now, the logo is darker.

FX/SFX: The sliding of the shapes, the background.

Music/Sounds: A bassy synth bed--the "basses" and "synths" being provided by acoustic cellos. This was only used on the Vimeo version, as films with this logo use no sound instead. The rejected prototype featured a 8-bit chiptune theme, accompanied by some sliding and clicking sounds.

Availability: Seen on all films from the company starting with A Glimpse in the Mind of Charles Swan III.

Scare Factor: Minimal; the logo could surprise some.
