'''Visuals:''' Same as the previous logo, but with a few changes: as the logo fades in, we see the familiar setting in a more realistic fashion, with the added nebula, the detailed moon, now in between the text and the wolf, and being slightly less saturated as a result. The text is also smaller, with "{{color|blue|'''E N T E R T A I N M E N T'''}}" in place of "'''F I L M S'''" and in a different font, which is now animated, fading and slightly zooming in after the first second before it stops moving a second later. The wolf is no longer between the L and F of "{{color|blue|WOLF}}" and is now at the far right of the logo, and is also animated, now howling throughout the logo. | '''Visuals:''' Same as the previous logo, but with a few changes: as the logo fades in, we see the familiar setting in a more realistic fashion, with the added nebula, the detailed moon, now in between the text and the wolf, and being slightly less saturated as a result.
