Sony Pictures Television International: Difference between revisions

<u>Nicknames</u>: “Shining Bars”, "SPE Bars", "The Sony Parallelogram" , "Lightbeam in Parallelogram", "Lightbeam in Striped Parallelogram", "The ''Carmen'' Logo", "Corporate Bars"

<u>Logo</u>: This is the same logo from Sony Pictures Television. However, everything has been shifted up a little to accommodate for the word “INTERNATIONAL” under the word “TELEVISION” way under the Sony Pictures logo and the line. There are 11 bars. The words stacked features:

<u>Variant</u>: On the Turkish version of ''Married... with Children'' (entitled ''Evli ve Çocuklu''), the long version of this is used.

<u>FX/SFX</u>: Same as the Sony Pictures Television logo with the word: “<span style="font-family:times-new-roman;">INTERNATIONAL</span>” under the word “<span style="font-family:times-new-roman;">TELEVISION</span>”.

<u>Music/Sounds</u>: Same as the standard Sony Pictures Television logo.

<u>Availability</u>: Extremely rare. It was first shown on the early 1st season episodes of ''Men in Black: The Series'' on Nickelodeon's short-lived action program ''SLAM!'' in 2002 in America and Fox Kids UK airings of ''The Real Ghostbusters'', but now has been replaced by the standard Sony logo. For others, it’s shown worldwide.

<u>Editor's Note</u>: By and large, it's the same logo as its domestic counterpart, and so it wouldn't fare well amongst the logo community.

<u>Nicknames</u>: "The Shining Bars Print logo", "SPE Bars II", "Sony Bars II", "Print SPE Bars", "Print Sony Bars", "SPE Multi-lined Tilted Parallelogram II", "The Sony Parallelogram II", "Print Lightbeam in Parallelogram", "Print Lightbeam in Striped Parallelogram"

<u>Logo</u>: Just an in-credit logo saying "Produced by", "Produced by [name of the company] and", or "Produced in association with", and then the Sony Pictures Television International logo, albeit in the white rectangle. Other series have only the SPTI in-credit logo, depending on the country and its native language.

<u>FX/SFX</u>: None or the scrolling of the credits.

<u>Music/Sounds</u>: The ending theme from any show.

<u>Availability</u>: Rare outside the U.S. Still retained on international adaptations of classic Sony shows, such as ''The Nanny'', ''Mad About You'', ''Married with Children'', and ''I Dream of Jeannie''. Also seen on ''Los Simuladores'' (translated as ''Simulators''). Other shows would carry this like ''Dragons' Den'' on last seen on the now-defunct Fox Reality Channel. This logo can be seen scrolling in the end credits of ''Les Z'amours'' (the French version of ''The Newlywed Game'').

<u>Editor's Note</u>: None.

<u>Nicknames</u>: “Swirling Bars”, “Filmstrip Bars”, "Sony Cylinder", "SPE Bars III", "Sony Bars III", "Swirling SPE Bars", "Swirling Sony Bars", "The Sony Parallelogram III", "Lightbeam in Parallelogram II", "Lightbeam in Striped Parallelogram II", "From Cylinder to Parallelogram", "Swirling Helix"

<u>Logo</u>: On a black background, we have a striped cylinder swirling and zooming back at the same time in 3-D. At the bottom of the swirling bars has the name "<span style="font-family:serif">'''SONY PICTURES TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL'''</span>" zooming-in slowly from the shadows. At the end, the cylinder turns into the Sony Pictures logo. There is a <span style="color:blue">blue</span> (sometimes <span style="color:purple">purple</span>) spotlight that is spinning at the bottom and shining on the logo that is also following the animation of the Sony Pictures logo until it stops.

<u>Variant</u>: In 2005, a widescreen version was introduced. Like the SPT logo, a compressed version of this can also be seen on 4:3 prints.

<u>FX/SFX</u>: The bars swirling and moving back, the names zooming in, and the spotlight spinning. This is clean animation that holds up well today.

<u>Music/Sounds</u>: An ascending, zoom/guitar-like synthesizer effect.

<u>Music/Sounds Variants</u>:

<u>Music/Sounds Trivia</u>: The sample used is "Rise Up!" off Spectrasonics' ''Distorted Reality 1'' sample library. At one point in ''The Fairly OddParents'' episode "Crash Nebula", you may hear this very sample.

<u>Availability</u>: Fairly common.

<u>Editor's Note</u>: Compared to the other SPT logos, this is less hated than its domestic counterpart, thanks to its cool animation and music.
