Heroic Television

Background
Heroic Television is a Canadian television production and development company based in Toronto, Ontario founded in 2000 by Suzanne Bolch and John May as Heroic Film Company. In January 2010, it was rebranded under its current name.

1st Logo (October 5, 2000-January 20, 2002)
Nicknames: "Canada's Answer to 20th Century Fox", "20th Century Fox Up North"

Logo: On a black background, "HEROIC" and "FILM COMPANY" below in a white condensed bold Copperplate Gothic font pans out and turns from the right. As it finishes turning and zooming out, two searchlights appears on opposite sides of the screen flashing at the text. Some sparks ignite between the lights.

Technique: The searchlights appearing and the sparks, done in CGI.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme.

Availability: This is so far seen on Our Hero.

2nd Logo (February 17, 2006-January 31, 2011)
Nicknames: "Heroic Bunny", "Cartoon Bunny", "Superhero Bunny"

Logo: On a SEPTE color bar background with a black frame (to make it look like it was from a TV set), a drawing of a rabbit as a superhero flies across to the right of the screen out of frame. It then flies back from the bottom right corner. As it does "heroic film company" fades in and zooms in at the bottom before the rabbit stops in the middle above the text.

Variant: A long version can be seen on a trailer for How To Be Indie. The color bars show via a television turn-on effect. The bunny zooms in, spiralling into the screen until it eventually crashes into the fourth wall, its eyes becoming crosses and a ring of stars appearing around its head, sliding down with visible motion lines. The logo ends as usual with the bunny flying in from the bottom right.

Technique: The rabbit and text.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo. For the long version (as well as on Connor Undercover), the sound of an older television set turning on, airplane-like noises as the rabbit flies in, a gong sound when it hits the screen, then creaking noises as it slides off.

Availability: Seen on Captain Flamingo on Jetix, Connor Undercover on Family Channel and the first half of season one of How to Be Indie on YTV.

Legacy: The drawing's still and simplistic appearance (especially when flying) makes it look awkward, though this was probably intentional.

(January 22, 2010-)
Nicknames: "Heroic Bunny II", "Superhero Bunny II", "Stylized Bunny"

Logo: On a white background with a lime green bar which has the dark green flower patterns on it, a black trail comes zooming from the left of the screen before it stops there to reveal the same rabbit from before but in a stylized appearance along with "heroic" and "tv" below on the right.

Technique: The trail.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Seen on the rest of How to Be Indie on YTV and on Disney Channel.
