Just Entertainment: Difference between revisions

In March 2000, the company acquired the British distributor [[Abbey Home Entertainment]], within the purchase, Just heavily expanded, with AHE's home video division rebranding as Just Entertainment, using the brand for mainstream children's content, and the [[Tempo Pre-School]] label being retained for pre-school content.

===1st Logo (November 4, 2000-2002)===

'''Logo:''' On a black background, a glowing and sparkling red line writes out the word "just" in a script font, and the camera pans across the text before zooming out. When the text is fully written, it stops glowing, and a light draws in a white line underneath the text. "Entertainment" then flips in letter-by-letter below the line, before releasing a strange gas, kind of resembling a nebula, which explodes behind the text, causing the logo to fade out.

*A version exists where everything is normal, except "Entertainment" is revealed by the explosion playing backwards.

*On the ''Butt-Ugly Martians'' TV special, the logo is seen in the bottom right corner with the [[Digital Content Development Corporation Limited|DCDC]] logo on the bottom left and the [[Jam Filled Toronto|Dan Krech Pictures]] logo seen in the top middle, all arranged in a black background. The logo starts off where "Entertainment" flips in, but doesn't fade out at the explosion. The logos then stay still for several seconds before cutting to the [[Alliance Atlantis]] logo.

*On the early episodes of ''Butt-Ugly Martians'', the logo is also seen in the bottom right corner with the [[Digital Content Development Corporation Limited|DCDC]] logo on the bottom left and the [[Mike Young Productions]] logo seen in the top middle, all arranged in a triangle formation on a dark blue marble background. The logo starts off where "Entertainment" flips in, but doesn't fade out at the explosion. The logos then stay still for several seconds before cutting to black.

*On the alternate version, a more sudden orchestral hit is heard, and none of the other sound effects beyond the dreamy sounder play.

*On ''Butt-Ugly Martians'', the dreamy sounder still plays, but it starts with a whoosh and is overlapped by what sounds like droplets on wood. This music variant would also later be used for the Mike Young Productions logo in 2001.

*The Director's Chair version is silent.

*The ''Butt-Ugly Martians'' variant is also rare, as it appeared in earlier episodes.

'''Logo'''' On a blue sky with orange clouds, we rotate over a set of golden spools with a filmstrip that has the "just" from before on it. The spools then start rolling before going under to a strange blue light and even more clouds surrounding the area. The camera then pans over the area, revealing the same "just" script from before, along with a gold underline and "ENTERTAINMENT" under it, all at a slight angle. The camera then zooms past the spools and into the logo, which it compresses a bit and the background brighten behind it for a second. The clouds continue moving a bit.

*On ''Butt-Ugly Martians'', the logo is seen in the same configuration as before, but with the new logo starting at the reveal, and the DCDC logo being replaced with a newer one as well.

*On ''Lost in the Snow'', the logo is still and appears with the 1996 [[Honeycomb Animation]] and the 1999 [[Carlton Productions|Carlton]] logos with the Carlton star background, and the URL reading "itv.com/citv" which also appears below as well.

'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' The ''Butt-Ugly Martians'' variant has the same music as before.

'''Logo'''' We start on a white background. Then, we zoom out to reveal a spotlight illuminating a director's chair. The tail end of the first logo plays here sans the explosion.
