(2002-2006)


Logo: On a black background, sparks fly around. The camera slowly pans back to reveal two sets of gears, a one on the left, and a  one on the right, rotating against a stony background. As the camera pans back, we see a gear at the top of them, and that they're all enclosed in a -outlined rectangle, with the text "ARTISTS INDUSTRIUM" engraved at the bottom. Once we finish zooming, we see the triangle is against a white background, with the text "ARDUSTRY" and "HOME ENTERTAINMENT" at the bottom. A spark flies across the engraving, making it glow before going black again, and the gears stop spinning.

Technique: Not bad CGI for the time.

Music/Sounds: Clangs and soft industrial noises, then a whoosh and a synth drone.

Availability: Rare. Seen on DVD and VHS releases from the company at the time, including The KREW: Strangers, Jack Frost (1997), and Inheritance.

(2006-2010)
