===1st Logo (September 29, 2006-December 2, 2011)===
'''Nickname:''' "Extreme Letters"

'''Logo:''' On a light blue background, some letters bumps out of nowhere. As a blue "n" runs by, a blue "o" rolls down and a blue "i" slides while a blue "a" spins around. Then "i" comes back, trips, and loses its dot. A blue "m" dodges it and it hits the "a". The dot bounces off a ton of letters while the (now dotless) "i" tries to catch it. Then all the letters bounce back and are revealed to be the letters in the word "animation". Then the words "SONY PICTURES" drop on the word "animation". The logo slowly zooms out until all the letters fall down.

'''Variants:'''
'''Variants:'''
* Starting in 2009, the logo was given a high definition look, with the same animation intact. This variant first appeared on the ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'' trailer.
* On short films, it is already formed; however, the camera zooms in slowly, and the word "animation" is missing the "o". Said letter then drops down and squeezes between "i" and "n". It then knocks "i" and "n" out, sending the dot on the "i" throwing itself to the left. The "m" crawls slightly left as the "n" rapidly changes into the ping-pong racket sending the "i"'s dot back to it belongs before changing back into "n". The "SONY PICTURES" text and the letters falling down play normally after that.
* A still version of the logo exists.
* A still version of the logo exists. This can be seen on ''The Smurfs''.  
* On ''Open Season 3'', the logo is in warp-speed.
* On the DTV film ''Open Season 3'' and the special ''The Smurfs: A Christmas Carol'', the logo is in warp-speed and it freezes instead of falling down at the end. On the latter, the animation plays in normal speed.


'''FX/SFX:''' The bouncing, running, spinning, rolling, and sliding. Nice CGI animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A fast-paced jazzy fanfare, composed by James Newton Howard. When the letters crash, a crowd is heard groaning.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, the blue words "Sony Pictures" and "Animation", in a wacky font, zoom out and bounce letter-by-letter. Suddenly, the letters stop when they reach the middle position. An arc is visible in "Animation", separating the blue into 2 shades.
