Banijay: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' Peering at what appears to be a camera lens on a {{color|darkmagenta|dark magenta}} background with a bit of {{color|pink}} lighting in the corner, the lens opens up to form a flash of light, beaming straight up before puffing out a trail of {{color|gold|yellow}}/{{color|orange}}/{{color|purple}} smoke that rises up. The camera also cuts to a different angle as it pans up the rising smoke tower. It then cuts to a metal genie figure rising up from the clouds, with his arms crossed and a proud grin on his face, before cutting to another shot to him turning towards the camera. He does a winking motion as he begins to gloat silently and the camera quickly shifts back to reveal "{{color|silver|'''banijay'''}}" in a futuristic font below him, along with "{{color|silver|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" right next to the lower arm of the "j". The clouds at the bottom also move about and there is a light shaft shining on the right side of the screen. The logo zooms out slightly as the genie eventually stops gloating and looks right at us, blinking once.

'''Variants:'''

* A shorter, abridged version of the logo exists. The camera lens, already open, releases a blast of {{color|gold|yellow}}/{{color|orange}}/{{color|purple}} smoke up, along with many particles and the metallic genie spinning upwards. The camera pans up with the genie, whose mouth is now in a permanent open smile, as "{{color|silver|'''banijay'''}}" quickly zooms out one-by-one and "{{color|silver|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" slides out of the "j".

* On some shows produced by [[Bunim/Murray Productions]] at the time, the finished product appears in a transition from the Bunim/Murray logo. The end result looks cheaper than the main variant, though.

'''FX/SFX:''' The genie emerging, the logo forming.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Starting off with a drumroll, it continues into a gong and then an orchestral build-up. A ding is heard with the wink, which is then followed up by an Arabian-inspired 3-note tune, consisting of also a deep whirring sound and chorus. Composed by Tom Windrif.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' The Bunim/Murray variant has an orchestral finish, which transitions from the 2009 music variant of the Bunim/Murray logo. Also, a 3-note tune is high-pitched.

'''Availability:''' Rare. The full and short versions were probably only made for branding purposes, as Banijay didn't really produce anything. The Bunim/Murray variant, however, could be seen on any Bunim/Murray Productions shows from 2010-2011.
