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: Throughout the entire logo sequence we see paint, bubbles and strokes circling around each other in a flurry of activity. In the centre of this circling, if we look carefully, we can see 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: green, blue, purple, pink, red and orange.

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.

FX/SFX: The paint colors dancing around the film projector light and painting itself to form the logo. None for the TV variant.

Music/Sounds: A calming, nature-inspired piece which also features the sound of a kookaburra, a native Australian bird. The closing theme for the TV show variant.

Availiability: Seen on all movies and TV shows funded by the Australian Government from mid-2012 onwards. The first film to use this logo was Kath and Kimderella. 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.

Editor's Note: None.
