September Films

Background
September Films is a film and television production company founded in 1992 by David Green. Producing various reality and game shows as well as documentaries, their best known works include Bridezillas, Celebrity Squares, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and many more. In August 2007, DCD Media acquired the company.

1st Logo (1993-2001)
Logo: On a rust texture-like background with a shadow copy of the first letter in the company name, a, letter "S" , consisting of two parallel, curved filmstrips is next to the rest of the stylized letters, reading "September" in its entirety. Underneath next to the "S" and underneath "eptember" is the world "FILMS" with two thin bars next to it.

Variants:
 * The in-credit information underneath varies. For instances, Channel 5 co-produced programmes has "FOR CHANNEL 5" underneath and a copyright notice.
 * A print version of this logo is sometimes used, particularly on shows co-produced with the BBC.
 * Sometimes the text "Production" is added below.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Extremely rare, as many of these programmes from this period are no longer reran or hardly preserved on home media. Can be seen on several documentary TV movies and shows such as Fame and Fortune, Geri's World Walkabout, and Hollywood Lovers. This logo does not appear on theatrical films they have produced.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2001-2005)
Logo: On a dark brown background, two curved, light red filmstrips are drawn by two lens flares while a box slowly flips in and a shadow copy of the logo is seen within the background. Once the "S" is formed, the lights flash alongside the bottom text "SEPTEMBER FILMS" fades in. Additional copyright info may appear simultaneously underneath.

Variants:
 * Similar with other Channel 4 variants of British logos during the early 2000's, September Film's logo is pushed to the left to make room for said channel's logo. Additionally, the background is intact.
 * On Unreported World, the logo is inside a box with the shadow copy tilted.

FX/SFX: The lens flares forming the "S" filmstrip, the box flipping, and the text fading in.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Uncommon. Some of these programmes are available on home media and do preserve this logo, including early seasons of Bridezillas, the pilot to Haunted Homes, and Las Vegas Revealed. It was also seen on some documentaries such as The Secret History of Hacking.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (June 12, 2006-)
Logo: On a black background, bright light streaks are flowing within a fairly fixed path, creating the letter "S" while the text "SEPTEMBER FILMS" fades in and has a reflection. The camera also moves, zooming out and turning on its z-axis.

Variants:
 * Both a shortened and still version exists. The former variant may have the formation start shortly before the text appearing or just have the light streaks flowing.
 * Starting in 2007, the logo has a byline, reading "Part of DCD media" with said company's logo to the left of its name.
 * The placement of this byline can vary, either underneath, to the bottom right, or simply next to it.
 * On Pregnant Man, the logo is squished.

FX/SFX: The streaks forming the "S" and the reflection of the text, done in CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Current and common. It appears on many reality and game shows for more than a decade, making one of its first appearances on season 3 of Bridezillas and Haunted Homes starting with its second episode. The logo would later be seen on Blast Lab, the 2014 revival to Celebrity Squares, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us.

Editor's Note: None.
