Ted Turner Pictures

Background
Ted Turner Pictures was founded by Ted Turner in 2001. Its sole production was the theatrical film Gods and Generals.

(February 21, 2003)
Logo: On a black background, a set of lines resembling a globe zooms out. Suddenly, the lines start to move, transforming into a pictorial of a sailing boat. The signature "Ted Turner" is written. When the writing is almost finished, a box showing the panorama of an ocean and a line below the handwriting fades in. The text "serif" is formed by the letters joining one another. The box becomes solidified, shines, and the "boat" moves and makes a stop.

Variant: At the end of Gods and Generals, the logo is on a gradient background with a line to represent the horizon and a river shimmering below the box, which later turns solid. In this case, "serif" is in white.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A six note fanfare, with the last note held out.

Availability: Only seen on the 2003 movie Gods and Generals.
