Wellspring Media

1st Logo (1996-2001)
Nickname: "Sun Over W"

Logo: On a white background, we see a blue bar flying to the top, spinning a couple of times. A white sunburst, sort of like in the 1976 Columbia Pictures logo, rises in the bar. At the same time, a green W unfolds itself, and individual letters in the text "WELLSPRING MEDIA", in the same color as the W, turn into place. The e-mail address and website link for the company appear below the logo. It stays on screen for another 13 seconds, then, we fade to black.

FX/SFX: Simple, but decent animation.

Music/Sounds: A breathy synthesized orchestra jingle.

Availability: On many specialty tapes back in the 90s.

2nd Logo (2001-2006)
Nickname: "The Waterdrop"

Logo: The camera rotates around a landscape with a waterfall. As this happens, the logo, an abstract waterdrop, flies in. After that, the text "WELLSPRING" appears and the camera stops, with the background becoming bluer and blurry.

FX/SFX: What a major improvement! It looks better than the last logo.

Music/Sounds: A remix over the first logo's jingle, only with a different style.

Availability: Uncommon to rare.
