Zodiak Media Group

Background
Zodiak Media Group was a conglomerate formed by Italian media giant DeAgostini. It was originally composed of Zodiak Television, Marathon Media (France) and Magnolia (Italy) in 2008, and gained current form after the acquisition of RDF Television in 2010. Zodiak also had stake in several smaller companies all over the world, including Touchpaper Television (UK), DIXI Company (Russia) and Yellow Bird Films. In February 2016, Zodiak merged into Banijay Group, the name retained in Zodiak Rights and Kids divisions, otherwise dropped.

1st Logo (2010-April 8, 2013)
Logo: On a white background, we see the word "zodiak" with "media group" below. The text rotates from the left below until it becomes straight, while an eclipse symbol (a lens flare with a half sun in a blue sphere) moves itself into the "o". A lens flare then appears over the logo.

Technique: Simple 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A whoosh sound with a humming synth music, or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first three seasons of the US version of Being Human, as well as other Zodiak shows.

2nd Logo (2013-2016)
Logo: On a blue background with many stars, we see what appears to be a camera lens in the middle. We zoom in and we see it is actually a portal. The camera stops to reveal the word "zodiak" in a new font that casts light. The word "MEDIA" fades in below. the logo rotates to normal position.

Variant: There exists a still version in a weirdly shaped box with a wave of light behind it.

Technique: Seemingly complex 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: First we hear a rocket dive, followed by a synth theme.

Availability: Mostly unknown. The animated version could be seen on a showreel. The still version is rare as it is only used for corporate purposes and is only common by Zodiak units which modify the logo.
