IFC Originals

1st Logo:

(2008-2009)

Logo: We see a giant white cupboard. The doors swing open, revealing it is comprised almost entirely out of identical silver cans with blank white labels, except for one with a black label and the then-current IFC logo, "ORIGINALS" below on it. The camera slowly zooms onto this can as "An IFC Original Production" appears below.

FX/SFX: The door swinging open, the zoom, the fade-in.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the door opening, a violin chord as we zoom in, then two tuba notes at the end as a man says "That's original".

Avalibility: Seen on Season 2-4 episodes of The Whitest Kids U'Know.

Editor's Note: The theme for this logo resembles the PlayStation 3 startup.

2nd Logo
(2009-2012)

Nickname: "The Frame"

Logo: We see a frame with IFC Originals logo standing on a shelf surrounded by various things, including a fan, metal monkey candle holder. A hand passes, whisking the dust away from the frame. Then a copyright notice appears below.

(2010-2012)

Nickname: "The Frame II"

Logo: A picture frame containing the IFC Originals logo is shown hanging on a wall, along with some books, a metal squirrel, a mountain figure, and a painting of a child. A fly lands on it. A fly swatter comes out to swat it, but the fly flies away in time and the swatter instead hits the frame. The frame is knocked down, revealing"AN IFC ORIGINAL PRODUCTION" copyright info
