1st Logo (December 8, 2016-October 12, 2017)

Visuals: On a black background, a red image fills in the entire screen, which appears to be a closeup of a TV. The screen then dims down, as red smoke fills out the insides of the word "SHUDDER" in the middle, where an extreme closeup of a human eye appearing once the action is complete. The eye blinks, which causes the footage to glitch out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: VHS glitching can be heard along with sounds of blood squishing when "SHUDDER" fades in.

2nd Logo (August 18, 2020-)

Visuals: On a black background are red lines, as the letters of "SHUDDER" appear one-by-one. The logo then flickers and glitches with static.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: An ascending horror-like theme with synth drones. This was composed by John Carpenter, who known for directing and composing soundtrack for his own film such as Halloween, They Live, Escape from New York and Christine. There was also a full-length version of the theme for the branding.

Availability: Seen on current releases of Shudder originals on Blu-ray, such as Prevenge, Seance, Caveat and V/H/S 94.

3rd Logo (February 23, 2024)

Visuals: On a black background, red smoke slowly fades and fills the inside of the "SHUDDER" text, similar to the previous logo. The screen suddenly flashes and glitches out the text to form a logo. It then briefly flashes again in the inverted background where the logo melts vertically before it cuts back to the final logo.

Technique: 2D computer graphic animation.

Audio: Same as before.
