1st Logo (December 2, 2016-)

Visuals: In a blurry white setting under a microscope, there is a zoomed in cell which suddenly turns into a letter "O", the scene then cuts to a letter "R" with an elongated tail and a letter "P" splitting from it, which then rapidly cuts to the letters "O" "Z" "O" and "T", which then cuts to the finished product: which is the word "Protozoa" in grey with the "A" splitting off from the third "O" before the screen abruptly cuts to black. This all happens at a very fast pace.

Variant: Starting with The Whale, the logo is much cleaner looking.

Technique: CGI

Audio: a droning synth note along with clicking sounds for the microscope.

Availability: First seen on Jackie and can be subsequently seen on films such as Mother!, The Whale, and The Good Nurse.
