Background: Platinum Dunes is a production company founded in 2001 by director Michael Bay. Platinum Dunes specializes in horror film remakes, as well as sequels to remakes and original projects.

Nickname: "The Desert"
Logo: On a black background, we see several platinum lines zooming out and overlapping each other. After a few seconds, the lines fill in with color and reveal themselves to be a drawing of dunes in a desert. As a sky fades in over the dunes, "PLATINUM DUNES", in a silver font, zooms in underneath the picture (compressed in a box) and shines.
Variant: Starting in 2006, the logo freezes after the dunes are formed.
FX/SFX: Decent CGI animation of the dunes.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Common. It can be found on any movie such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 remake), The Amityville Horror (2005 remake), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, and The Hitcher (2007 remake). The last movie to use this logo was Horsemen.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(January 9, 2009-)
Nickname: "Over the Desert"
Logo: We see live-action footage of a camera moving across some dunes. As the picture begins to compress into a box, the words "PLATINUM DUNES" appear from behind the dunes and the action freezes.

FX/SFX: Mostly live action.
Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.
