Alliance Atlantis: Difference between revisions

Alliance Atlantis was acquired by [[Canwest Media|Canwest]] and the private equity arm of Goldman Sachs in 2007. The company's specialty television services were sold to Canwest in 2008, then Canwest was acquired by Shaw in October 2010, and then Shaw Media was ultimately bought by [[Corus Entertainment]] on April 1, 2016, while its international operations were transferred to [[Echo Bridge Home Entertainment|Echo Bridge Entertainment]]. The movie business was relaunched independently as [[Alliance Films]], which was eventually acquired by [[Entertainment One]] six years later. However, the Alliance brand name survived in the form of Alliance Cinemas until 2021, when it was rebranded into Cineplex.

|Alliance_Atlantis_(1998)_(16x9)_1.png|1st Logo (May 18, 1998-November 8, 1999)

* An early version is said to exist where the logo just had "{{color|silver |{{Font|Serif|ATLANTIS}}}}" with no red line, but there's no video proof online yet and the only photo is a doctored recreation. This was said to have been used mid-Season 4 of the 1995 revival of ''The Outer Limits''. The rest of the season used a sped-up variant.

'''Logo:''' Same the 1991 [[Alliance Entertainment Corporation|Alliance]] logo, but with the word "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|ATLANTIS}}'''" appearing below "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|ALLIANCE}}'''".

'''Variant:''' On French-language theatrical films, "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|VIVAFILM}}'''" appears under the rest of the text.

'''Logo:''' We see a cloudy {{color|gray}} sky with snow-capped mountains, panning southwest to a batch of clear gemstones below, complete with rainbow lights reflecting off them. Two of the gemstones streak into the air, positioning themselves to the shape of a long isosceles triangle, in a nod to the Alliance logo. The image fades into the boomerang-shaped Alliance "Metallic A" but with the bottom left {{color|gold}} and the top right black. The text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ALLIANCE ATLANTIS'''}}" in Wide Latin is seen below. A spark flies from the bottom to the top as thunder can be seen in the clouds.

* On French-language theatrical films, the word "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|VIVAFILM}}'''" in the same font appears under the rest of the text.

'''Logo:''' On a dark cloudy background with a {{color|gold|yellow}} light (a la the 2004 [[NBCUniversal Syndication Studios|NBCUniversal]] logo) with a couple {{color|gold|yellow}} lines, we see the "A" logo from before in various close-ups. We see part of the text "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|ALLIANCE ATLANTIS}}}}'''" (or for French-Canadian releases, "'''{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|ALLIANCE ATLANTIS VIVAFILM}}}}'''") in Wide Latin rotating, and finally we zoom out as the logo and text rotate into place, and then turn to face the screen. A spark appears on the bottom-left, moves to the top and brightens.
