Stray Dogs

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

Stray Dogs is a French, Paris-based international sales company formed in January 2015 by Nathan Fischer, a Parisian sales agent. The company's first slate was the 2014 American film Heaven Knows What, to which Fischer accompanied the film at the Film Festival Rotterdam.[1] It has since transformed into Studio Stray Dogs, pivoting its direction to AI.

Logo (September 9, 2016-October 16, 2020)

Visuals: A painting of a dog runs across a wall split into white on the left and gray on the right, leaving a white trail while the scenery briefly inverts its colors before returning back to its original state. The logo then cuts to a closer shot of the dog running, which then splits into two dogs that leave a trail of their copies as a stacked, painted "STRAY DOGS" in yellow writes itself in the background from left to right. The camera follows the two dogs, and the environment briefly inverts its colors again, turning the dogs white and the text blue. Afterward, one of the dogs quickly turns left and sprints towards the camera, stopping abruptly once its head is fully visible as the camera then zooms out, revealing the dog's full body and the same "STRAY DOGS" now placed in front of the dog. The logo briefly inverts its colors thrice before the camera goes out of focus. A film effect can be seen throughout the logo.

Variants:

  • Two widescreen versions exist, one where the logo is cropped, and one where the logo is stretched to fit the aspect ratio.
  • On Koko-di Koko-da, the logo was shrunken.
  • On Friendly Beast, the logo was tinted red.

Technique: Oil paint/pastel animation.

Audio: Usually none.

Audio Variants: Park (2016) features a pack of dogs barking and growling.
