Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films
Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films/EFO Films, previously known as Emmett/Furla Films and Oasis Ventures Entertainment separately, was an American film and television production and financing company founded by Randall Emmett and George Furla in 1998.
On January 28, 2020, following numerous allegations of workplace misconduct, various lawsuits and the bankruptcy of its parent, MoviePass, EFO was dissolved as a result, though both Emmett and Furla continued to jointly produce films under the company name up until 2023.
Visuals: On a black background, a lightened blue box appears. It faces its light to the screen as it expands, and later reveals the letters "E" and two "F"s. The text "EMMETT/FURLA" appears above. Meanwhile, the light of the box dims as it reveals the normal logo, with the letters white, and some blue gradient boxes seen next to the bottom of the "F"s. The spaced out "FILMS" also appears below. The gradient boxes flash.
Variant: A shortened version exists.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None or the closing theme to the movie/TV program.

Visuals: There is an industrial zone with a huge city behind it, at sunset. The camera moves down to the rails, as a train moves in. When the camera gets closer to the train, it turns to its side, as the paint of the train reveals some blue lines, and the background changes to black. The blue line moves while the letters "E", "F" and "F" are shown thanks to the fast movement of the lines. The whole logo is revealed after the lines disappear, with the blue gradient boxes next to the "F"s, just like the previous one.
Variants:
- There's also a still variant.
- A later variant has an "O" (which stands for Oasis) replacing the second "F". Also, one of the boxes has been moved to the "E".
Technique: CGI.
Audio: An ominous beat, followed by train chugging sounds, ending with an ominous synth tune. Otherwise, the opening theme of the movie.
