'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|red|red}}-tinted background, we see a series of Marvel comic book panels flipping downward second by second like a flipbook. "MARVEL", now in its current logotype, zooms out, fades in as a black outline. As the panels fade into a simple {{Font color|red|red}} gradient background, the "MARVEL" logo fades into a solid white color. As the background is finished, "MARVEL" continues to zoom away as the logo fades out. | '''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|red|red}}-tinted background, we see a series of Marvel comic book panels flipping downward second by second like a flipbook.

It was also spotted in ''The Avengers'' table of Zen Studios' ''Marvel Pinball'' series within the ''Pinball FX / Zen Pinball'' series. Since Marvel Studios assumed control of 20th Century Fox's Marvel film rights and will implement them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's likely that the only films still using this logo will be ''Sony's Spider-Man Universe.'' | ||

This segues into footage of Marvel Studios films being projected onto what is revealed after a camera fly-by to be the word "MARVEL" in its current logotype, now carved in a {{Font color|silver|silver}} rectangle (the footage can vary depending on the film). As the camera zooms out, the stock footage and background fade into solid {{Font color|red|red}} and two lines next to "MARVEL" expand outward to reveal the word "STUDIOS". The logo ends with a faintly visible shine. | ||
'''Trivia:''' This logo was commissioned in January 2016 by Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios. It was intended to celebrate the expansiveness and scope of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like the previous logo, some films have the prologue right before the logo. | '''Trivia:''' This logo was commissioned in January 2016 by Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios.
