Cinemation Pictures (also known as Cinemation Studios Entertainment, Inc. or simply known as Cinemation) is a Canadian film production and distribution studio founded by French film pioneers Alexandre Deschamps and Jacques Lachine on June 15, 2018, the same date as Incredibles 2's theatrical release in North America. The studio is Canada's answer to Universal Studios, is owned by SpringCastCinemation Inc., and is headquartered in Calgary, Alberta. Also, the legal name for this company is CSE Holdings, Inc.

History
Cinemation Pictures was originally founded on February 11, 2018, when they released Pregnant Misty to their parent company's YouTube channel. However, the company announced some more feature films along the way, including Canadian adaptations of American films.

Logo
Cinemation Pictures was not originally called Cinemation Pictures in terms of logos. Its first logo is nicknamed "Filmreel C", "C for Cinemation", "Filmreel", and "Cinemation's 1st Logo". The 1st logo was designed by Edward Hopper from Vancouver, British Columbia in June 2017, and the music is known as "CINAR in Space", which sounds Canadian at the time.

On July 22, 2017, Brian Sachs of Edmonton, Alberta was hired to design the 2nd logo. It is nicknamed "C for Cinemation II", "Filmreel II", and "Top Twist".

On September 5, 2017, Graphic designers Daniel Shaw and Steve Richmond from Toronto, Ontario were both hired to create a 3rd logo for the company. It is nicknamed "C for Cinemation III" and "Filmreel III".

As time went on, things became more complicated within the company and its overall brand identities. On March 30, 2018, Michael Dayton and Drew Hudson were tasked with a new challenge to produce a new logo for the company, this time using CGI. With the help of German graphics design firm Mannheim Studio, Dayton and Hudson insisted that the new logo would contain more detail and animation, so that the 22-second Universal Studios fanfare would be used as the underscore. The new logo was based on the current Universal Studios logo from 2013 onwards.
