4th Logo (2002-2005)
Nicknames: The Key, Gaylord Key, Pandora Key
Logo: We see a key falling from an orange sky. It lands in a hand (by this point the sky is blue), which uses the key to unlock a door. It opens and light comes out, which overtakes the screen. It turns into a keyhole shape, with either one of these texts fading in below: 1. "PANDORA", then the byline "a gaylord films company" in spaced-out letters to fit the width of "PANDORA", fades in soon after. 2. "GAYLORD" followed by "FILMS" in a smaller font fading in soon after.
Variant: Sometimes, the light scene is only seen. This can be found on VUDU prints of Donnie Darko.
FX/SFX: Seems to be a mix of live-action and CGI. Oddly evocative of the Phoenix Pictures logo.
Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie or a beautiful synth choir tune.
Availability: The Pandora version is scarce and appears on White Oleander, Grind, Cypher, and Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie. The Gaylord version is very common and is seen on What a Girl Wants and Duma. Other appearances are unknown at this time.
Scare Factor: None to minimal.
