Nicknames: "The Lens Flares", "The Particles", "Focus Zoom", "Bokeh"

Variants:
- For international releases, "INTERNATIONAL" would be shown under "FEATURES."
- At the end of some movies, the print logo is used. It looks rather similar to the last logo.
- On the American release of The World's End, the animation is slowed down in order to plaster the Universal Pictures logo.
- In 2015, the byline "A COMCAST COMPANY" was added underneath the logo. This was first seen on the trailer for Suffragette.
FX/SFX: The circles zooming, and the text fading. This was made by DevaStudios, Inc.
Music/Sounds: None, the opening theme of the movie, or a 2-note string theme. On some films, this theme also has the sounds of children laughing and birds twittering.
Availability: Common. This was first seen on The Pianist and can be seen on films from the company ever since, such as Brokeback Mountain, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Blockparty. In a rarity for Independent Lens, this logo is preserved on their presentation of Won’t You Be My Neighbor?.
Editor's Note: None.
