Screen Australia

Background
Screen Australia was formed in 2008 by merging three Australian government departments: The Australian Film Commission, Film Australia and Film Finance Corporation Australia.

1st Logo (2008-2012)
Logo: On a black background, we see the words "SCREEN AUSTRALIA" zoom out from the screen. The EE's are mirrored and. The logo shines while the Australian Government coat of arms fades in below.

Variants:
 * There is a TV version that has the Australian coat of arms on the left and the logo on the right with a vertical line separating the two logos.
 * An early version is used on Bran Nue Dae and Charlie and Boots, which is similar to the TV variant, but the logo is put on a white background.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie, or the closing theme of the TV show.

Availability: Used to be common, althrough other films have no logo, only the text instead. It was intact on all movies and TV shows funded by the Australian Government from this time period. Examples of Screen Australia movies include Bran Nue Dae, Tomorrow When The War Began and Red Dog.

2nd Logo (February 28, 2012-)
Logo: Throughout the entire logo sequence, we see paint, bubbles and strokes circling around each other in a flurry of activity. In the centre of the circling, there is a film projector light. Then the various paint objects form themselves in a zig-zag formation. Then the words "Screen Australia" blur inside the paint stroke. Also during the entire logo sequence the paints change colour, in chronological order:, , purple, pink, and.

TV Variant: The coat of arms is still on the left with the new logo on the right. A line still separates the two logos.

Other Variants:
 * There is a variant that ends on a color.
 * On Run Rabbit Run, the logo is in sepia like the other logos.

Technique: CGI by Clinton Downs of New Holland Creative in Sydney, using Realflow and Autodesk Maya.

Music/Sounds: A calming, nature-inspired piece which also features the sound of a kookaburra, a native Australian bird. Otherwise, it's the opening/closing theme.

Availability: Seen on all movies and TV shows funded by the Australian Government from mid-2012 onwards.
 * It was first seen on a promo video for the 2012 Australian International Documentary Conference on Screen Australia's YouTube channel. It has since appeared on other promos, as well as behind-the-scenes videos on the channel.
 * The first film to use this logo was Kath and Kimderella, while the first TV shows to use this logo were Howzat!: Kerry Packer's War and season 2 of Go Back To Where You Came From.
 * It has also showed up on shows produced by Glitch Productions on YouTube that Screen Australia has funded, such as Meta Runner and Sunset Paradise.
