StudioCanal: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' A comet flies across a very {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} sky, with a few intermittent stars (a homage to the Canal+ feature presentation ident of the time). As the comet passes over the screen, small stars start to flash and random numbers begin to appear in place of the flashes. A lightning bolt strikes from the right side of the screen into the middle of the screen. The numbers disappear and a circular burst of "rain" appears. Large white circles of varying sizes pop up over the screen and disappear almost instantaneously. Another lightning bolt hits. The source of the "rain" switches to the right side of the screen. The rain stops and white lines begin to appear all over the screen (once again disappearing instantly) as the letters for "STUDIO CANAL" appear haphazardly across the screen. A shooting star and a lightning bolt appear at the same time. Rain starts coming from all sides of the screen, as well as small white circles floating upwards. Sparkles of light encompass the screen, culminating in a white flash. The same logo from the previous logo, only the box for "STUDIO" is black, appears, surrounded by light streaks. Finally the text "A CANAL+ COMPANY" appears on the bottom right of "CANAL" (with a bit of moving light appearing on the corner of the logo simultaneously).

* There is a short version of the logo that starts at the logo's appearance, so far this has only been seen on the 2002 and 2017 Australian DVD releases of ''Mulholland Drive''.

*The 2002 Anchor Bay DVD release of ''Highlander'' (1986) also uses this logo, but on the audio commentary track, you can faintly hear the jingle of [[Lumiere Pictures]]' 2nd logo as this logo plays. This is because the commentary was taken from the 1996 [[Republic Pictures Home Video|Republic]] LaserDisc release of the movie.

*Also seen on most international television and DVD prints of Avco Embassy (though TV rights to those films are with [[Sony Pictures Television|Sony]]), Lumiere, [[Thorn EMI Screen Entertainment|Thorn-EMI Screen Entertainment]], Carolco, [[De Laurentiis Entertainment Group|De Laurentiis]], [[American Zoetrope]], and [[Nelson Entertainment]] films, such as HDNet Movies' prints of ''Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw''.

*On DVD, this logo was seen on prints of library titles from this era through licensed distributors (e.g. [[Anchor Bay Entertainment]]), such as [[The Criterion Collection]]'s ''Day of the Dolphin''.

*There is a black and white version to fit with such films of this type. Found on recent prints of ''The Farmer's Wife'' and ''The Elephant Man'' (sans Encore's prints), as well as other black-and-white films (most commonly French New Wave films) and British [[ABC Television|ABC]] produced shows such as ''Armchair Theatre''.

*On HD widescreen versions of ''Love Actually'' (2003) and ''Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'' (2004), the logo is cropped to 16:9 widescreen.

*The shorter version starts in the clouds. This was found on ''Inland Empire'' and the Canadian & US releases of ''Franklin and the Turtle Lake Adventure'', as well as the 2003 DVD and VHS releases of ''Stargate''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Faint unintelligible whispers, followed by a whimsical-sounding fanfare, accompanied by various sound effects (e.g. a camera lens adjusting, wooden creaks, and bird chirps, sometimes louder). Sometimes it's silent, or the opening theme of the film plays.

*It also appears on most current prints of the 1958-1966 ''Carry On'' films that were released by [[Anglo-Amalgamated Films]], preceding the first three logos of that company, though most newer prints of them may plaster it with the next logo below, though some have it still intact, although it strangely is retained on its own on Blu-Ray and Britbox prints of ''Carry On Screaming'' due to the 1962?-1971 Anglo-Amalgamated Films logo being strangely cut out.
