http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanity_card

A production logo, vanity card, vanity plate, or vanity logo is a logo used by movie studios and television production companies to brand what they produce. Production logos are usually seen at the beginning of a theatrical movie or video game (an "opening logo"), or at the end of a television program or TV movie (a "closing logo"). Many production logos have become famous over the years, such as the 20th Century Fox's searchlights, Paramount Pictures's mountain, and MGM's Leo the Lion.

Unlike logos for most other media, production logos can take advantage of motion and synchronized sound, and almost always do.

i can't find the PFFR one but it's pretty good. Mark VII Limited.

Back when they could do no wrong. I used to get butterflies when I'd see this logo before booting up FF back in the day.

Even though I hate their films, Bad Robot.

The DC comics logo in movies.

universal logo

I like the old school logo from the early 1900's where the plane is flying around the world.

Also I believe it's toho, where the waves are crashing against rocks.

Toei is the waves on the rocks

Toho is the one I just posted :>

Not a logo per-say but i've always loved the painting animation of a man running and then turning into a bird. Can't believe i've forgot the name of the company atm, but that whole thing is mesmerizing imo.

Sets up the movie following wonderfully I feel:

Pure sex:

Off the top of my head I can't think of many video game ones I like, but I know there must be some. I'll probably remember when other people post some.

Stephen J Cannell Productions is classic.

 

[adg1034]

But "A Comcast Company" under the Universal logo makes me want to gag.

 

[Redux]

There's a movie production clip where a man turns into a bird. Forgot the name. Saw it when I went to see Magic Mike in the previews.

Say what you will about the Weinteins, but their logo is pure class:

Is it Scott Free? Ridley Scott's Production Company containing elements of Blade Runner I think. Pretty cool.

EDIT: Cot damn, beaten.

The Game Freak logo is, I think, a stylized eye, done by Sugimori. Kind of makes sense for a logo, when you think about—it's got this penetrating feel aboot it, staring into you and making an impression.

Definitely one of my favorite production eyecatches.

 

[Cdammen]

I liked Orion, I don't know why.

 

[dosh]

Ho yes. Especially when it fades to the mountain at the beginning of Raiders. Blew my mind when I was a kid.

I also like the vanity card for french production studio La Petite Reine.

And Focus Features logo is amazing:

[Out of Working Order]

Clover Studio.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

HBO Logo

 

[Yes Boss!]

Paramount during the Gulf and Western ownership...probably cause a lot of my favorite movies released during that tenure.

That Shaw Brothers logo is pretty epic, as well.

 

[reKon]

Bad Robot

Marvel (how HASN'T this been posted yet, this is sick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0yg2S3viSk)

I also like Sony Santa Monica's new logo

 

[AgentChris]

Marvel, Disney, Paramount(Star Trek), Bad Robot, Warner Brothers(depending on the film) and Pixar.

 

[RawkHawk2010]

DiC.

 

[mattiewheels]

This is a good place for me to spew venom on the Studio Canal intro that they put on the front of a lot of old b&w Criterion films. It's the most obnoxious thing ever, not just because it's this hypercolor mess in the midst of everything else being pure b&w, either.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

Also I believe it's toho, where the waves are crashing against rocks.

Toei, not Toho.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Marvel and Scott Free are two of my favorites.

 

[BertramCooper]

The 90s version of the Universal Studios card is probably my favorite. So much nostalgia and such a beautiful rendering. The music is much better than the current one, too.

From ones that hasn't been mentioned yet:

Also Marvel, Disney and DreamWorks.
