'''Nicknames:''' "The Creek II", "CGI Creek", "3D Creek"
'''Nicknames:''' "CGI Creek"


'''Logo:''' On a navy blue background, a yellow CGI line cuts through the screen. The camera pans near it to reveal it is a creek, with 3D river effects in it. The creek then zooms out on a blue/black gradient background as we see it is inside a purplish box. Then the words "MORGAN" and "CREEK" zoom out in their usual positions.

*On earlier episodes of the ''Ace Ventura'' cartoon, we see the company's print logo on a white background, with the creek colored periwinkle and a copyright stamp below.

'''FX/SFX:''' The 3-D-animated creek, and the camera zooming out. This is all done in very good CGI animation by Studio Productions (now known as "Flip Your Lid Animation").

'''Music/Sounds:''' An orchestral brass tune adapted from the overture of ''Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'' composed by Michael Kamen (also used in the 2007 [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment]] logo). The ''Ace Ventura'' animated series has the ending theme playing over it. In the early days of this logo, it was silent or the movie's theme would play over it. In the 1992 film ''White Sands'', there is a different fanfare based on the ''Robin Hood'' theme, while the more familiar tune made its first appearance on ''Stay Tuned'', released the same year. None for the still version.

'''Availability:''' Common. Can be seen on several films released by the company, most notably the ''Ace Ventura'' series, ''Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves'', ''Wrongfully Accused'', ''The Crush'', ''Trial by Jury'', ''True Romance'', ''Freejack'', ''Soldier'', ''Get Carter'' (2000 remake) and ''The Art of War''. On films from 1992-1999, this also can be found at the end of the movies with the Warner Bros. logo after it. This can also appear after the [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] logo on US DVD releases such as ''Young Guns II'', ''The Whole Nine Yards'' and ''3000 Miles to Graceland''. The last film to use this logo was ''Heist'' (which was released three months after ''American Outlaws'', the first film to use the third logo). Strangely, this appeared in black and white on ''The Exorcist: The Beginning'' (a 2004 movie) on Australian TV (with the [[Roadshow Television]] logo). Crackle prints of [[Franchise Pictures]] films ''Angel Eyes'' and ''Heist'' have this cut out alongside Warner Bros.; it just cuts to the Franchise logo. It was, however, seen on ''Battlefield Earth''. Strangely, on the 2017 SPHE DVD release of ''True Romance'', the first two ''Ace Ventura'' films and the double pack of ''Major League 2'' and ''Major League: Back to the Minors'', this is cut and goes straight to the film. It's not known if other releases do the same.

'''Legacy:''' This logo looks better than the previous logo. Simple animation, but effective and a nice CGI upgrade.
