StudioCanal: Difference between revisions

* An animated variant exists, and starts with the rectangle fading in, then three copies of "LE STUDIO" in {{color|hotpink|pink}}, {{color|dodgerblue|blue}}, and {{color|yellow}} flying into the rectangle, then combining and turning {{color|gray}}. "CANAL+" then fades in. Then the logo fades out and "PRESENTE" in white fades in. This animation was used as a de-facto video ident for the company's releases.

'''Audio:''' None on the still version. The animated version has a fanfare with four deep synth notes and a choir, piano notes playing as the copies of "LE STUDIO" fly into the rectangle, and a cymbal hit once "CANAL+" fades in.

'''Availability:''' Seen on Canal+ airings and VHS releases of ''Basic Instinct'', ''The City of Fear'', and ''Chaplin''.

* Seen on the 1999 French VHS release of ''Scream 2'', the 2000 French VHS release of ''Jeu Mortel'' and the 1999 French VHS and DVD releases of ''Porco Rosso''.

* It is also seen on the 1997 French VHS and DVD release of the ''Smart Planet'' TV movie, following the 1997 [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] logo.

* A short version of the logo that starts at the logo's appearance exists, so far this has only been seen on the 2002 DVD release, 2017 Australian DVD release, and the 2015 Criterion Blu-ray release (not the 2021 re-release) of ''Mulholland Drive'', and a Philippines VCD release of ''The Others''.

* An open matte version of the logo also exists on 4:3 prints.

* The 2002 Anchor Bay DVD release of ''Highlander'' (1986) also uses this logo, but on the audio commentary track, the 1992 jingle from the second [[Lumiere Pictures]] logo can be heard as this logo plays. This is because the commentary was taken from the 1996 [[Republic Pictures Home Video|Republic]] LaserDisc release of the movie.

* NTSC prints of films have had the fanfare low pitched (due to PAL to NTSC conversion).

* The short version uses the opening theme of the movie.

* Sometimes, the logo is silent, or the opening theme of the film plays.

* Seen on films like ''Billy Elliot'' (the US release), ''Bridget Jones's Diary'' and ''40 Days and 40 Nights''.

* It is 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 can be found 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''.

* It is also seen on the 2001 French VHS release of ''Traffic'' as a de-facto home video logo.

* It is also seen on [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]]/[[Trifecta Entertainment & Media|Trifecta]] syndicated prints of ''Narrow Margin'', before the [[TriStar Pictures|TriStar]] and Carolco logos.

* It is also seen on the 2001 French VHS and DVD releases of the ''Happy Planet'' TV movie after the 1999 [[Universal Pictures]] logo.

* This logo was also used as a de-facto VHS and DVD logo in France entitled [[StudioCanal Video]].

* This logo was also seen at the start of a December 27, 2022 UK airing of ''Warlords of Atlantis'' (1978) on LEGEND.

* A B&W version of the logo exists, which can be 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''.

** It also makes an appearance in most current prints of ''The Mirror Crack'd'' before the film-within-a-film that the people of St Mary Mead have gone to see, plastering [[Columbia Pictures|the 1976-1982 Columbia Pictures logo]].

* A shorter version of the logo also exists, which starts in the clouds. This can be found on ''Inland Empire'' and the Canadian and U.S. releases of ''Franklin and the Turtle Lake Adventure'', as well as the 2003 VHS and DVD releases of ''Stargate''.

* ''A Turtle's Tale: Sammy's Adventures'' uses a variant where all the clouds are lighter and re-rendered to look more realistic. When the StudioCanal logo fades in, it slides to the left a little bit before the background fades to black.

* Sometimes, the logo is silent, or the opening theme of the film plays.

* Like the previous logo, the fanfare is low pitched on some NTSC releases once again due to PAL to NTSC conversion.

* On ''Love Actually'' (2003), the faint whisper comes in late and cut off before the fanfare appears, this time with the various sound effects intact.

* On ''Thunderbirds'' (2004), the faint whisper plays twice and while the fanfare plays, the various sound effects play twice.

* On ''Johnny English'' (2003) and ''Wimbledon'' and ''Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'' (both 2004), the tail end of the 1997 [[Universal Pictures]] logo's music plays alongside the faint whispers before the fanfare appears, this time with the various sound effects intact.

'''Availability:''' Seen on films like ''Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason'', ''Babies'', ''Thunderbirds'', and ''Genesis'', among others.

* It is also seen 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 is strangely 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.

* A seemingly unused package of variations from 2018 omits the mattes on top and bottom of the logo, and has the StudioCanal logo form through its letters as outlines rotating together, which then fill up with white. The result also lacks the rounded rectangle.

* On ''The Fives'', the logo is silent.

* A Portuguese print of ''Total Recall'' (1990) has the 2003 fanfare from the previous logo due to sloppy plastering.

* On recent releases of films originally mixed in mono (such as Jean-Luc Godard's ''A Woman is a Woman'' and Francis Ford Coppola's ''The Cotton Club''), only the center channel (containing the guitar, the flute, a trumpet and some strings) of the logo's original 7.1 mix can be heard.

* On ''Johnny English Strikes Again'', the tail end of the 2012 Universal Pictures fanfare is heard before the fanfare plays. The music is also low-pitched.

* The 2018 variations use a different accelerando composition by Desplat. Each variation uses a set of different instruments.

* On the U.S. release of ''Paddington 2'' (2017), the tail end of the 1999 Warner Bros. Pictures fanfare plays over the logo, omitting the first two chimes.

* On a Paramount Network UK 2020 airing of ''Raw Deal'' (1986), the final note of the 2003 fanfare from the previous logo can be faintly heard after the logo ends due to a sloppy plastering job.

* The in-credit variant uses the ending theme of the movie.

* It is also preserved on some current French television prints of [[Regency Enterprises|Regency]] and [[Spyglass Entertainment]] titles (as well as French digital prints of Spyglass titles), such as ''The Sixth Sense'', ''What Happens in Vegas'', ''Keeping the Faith'', ''Love and Other Drugs'' and ''Shanghai Noon'', among others.

* The in-credit variant is seen on ''Shaun the Sheep Movie'', ''Early Man'' and ''A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon'', respectively.

* This logo is also seen on the Mamoru Hosada film, ''The Boy and the Beast'', however, it is cut out on home media releases, mostly due to StudioCanal using authoring from the Australian releases from Madman Entertainment.
