Global Road Entertainment

Background
In August 2017, Open Road Films was purchased by Tang Media Partners, which merged it with the also then-purchased IM Global, resulting in the partnership, Global Road Entertainment. In August 2018, management of the company shifted from Donald Tang to primary lenders Bank of America and East West Bank, as he wasn't able to secure funds for Global Road. As a result, the company's September release of City of Lies was put on hold; the film they were allowed to distribute next, A.X.L., flopped at the box office. As a result, the company was forced to lay off their employees without severance, and soon after, they were sued by Miramax over loans of City of Lies. In September, Global Road filed for bankruptcy, and soon after began auctioning off its subsidiaries; the bankruptcy did not effect TMP, IM Global or IM Global TV.

Logo: On a black background, a series of lines appear, and within them are, textured outlines of Earth's continents. Then, many other lines appear in, and yellow, and altogether move around, forming a stylized model of the Earth. The layers of lights zoom out, surrounding the model as well as some Chinese text in the left-center. As the words "GLOBAL" and "ROAD", with the "A"s in both words being in a slanted style, fade in, the lights slowly collapse and the Earth disappears in the middle of the words, transforming into a crescent. "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in underneath "ROAD", followed by the byline "A TMP COMPANY" spaced out underneath "ENTERTAINMENT".

Variants:
 * A short version that starts at the globe zooming out exists.
 * An in-credit and plain white variant was seen on Holocaust: The Revenge Plot.
 * On Siberia (2018), the logo is already formed and zooms in.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A majestic orchestral fanfare, none, or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Uncommon. This was first seen on the trailer for Show Dogs. The short variant later premiered on Midnight Sun and the full animated version debuted on Show Dogs itself. Its last appearance was on The Rhythm Section, which was released on January 31, 2020.

(2018?)
Logo: In an outer space-like setting of swirling blue energy, two turquoise beams of light converge. More beams of light appear, forming arcs as various Chinese text appears to the sides of them in the stars. All of the light converges into one arc, and sweeps around a metal object. We zoom out to see that it is in fact the "L" in the text of the previous logo. The background fades to black and the byline "A TMP COMPANY" appears below "ENTERTAINMENT".

Technique: CGI by Michael Daniels at Devastudios.

Music/Sounds: Unknown, as all we have are style frames.

Availability: Unused. Can only be seen in the form of style frames on Michael Daniels' website here.
