'''Logo:''' Similar concept as the regular Marvel logo: comic book pages are flipping with a {{color|navy|navy blue}} filter, zoom out and then the word "MARVEL" on top with "KNIGHTS" below, both in white, on a black BG. There is a glow around the logo.

'''Variations:'''
* On the first trailer for ''Thor & Loki: Blood Brothers'', the logo is in CGI and made of stone, floating against a stormy sky backdrop. Here, it reads "MARVEL KNIGHTS ANIMATION" instead. Lightning flashes from the top left to the top right twice, before a third, bigger flash takes the whole screen and transitions to the [[Shout! Factory]] logo.
* On the second trailer for the same film, it is much like the normal variant, but starting with the zoom out and in warpspeed. The text reads "MARVEL NIGHTS ANIMATION" again.


'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation. Like the main Marvel logo at the time, this was done by Prologue. It can be seen on [https://prologue.com/portfolio-item/marvel-knights/ their site].
