Salter Street Films

Background
Salter Street Films was a production company that was established in Canada by the Donovan (Michael and Paul) brothers in 1983. It was acquired by Alliance Atlantis in 2001, which maintained it as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its own distribution unit until 2003 Paul Donovan became an Independent Producer and Michael Donovan and Others (i.e. Charles Bishop (originally an independent producer until 1998) and Floyd Kane) created Halifax Film in 2004.

1st Logo (October 11, 1993-October 26, 2003)
Logo: In the end credits of a show, we see a silver image of a head in a bust-like pose in front of a TV-tube-like outline. To the right of the logo is the silver text:

SALTER STREET FILMS

in a stocky font. The logo "shines".

Variants:
 * In recent years the URL www.salter.com or one connected with a particular SSF series appeared under the logo.
 * The CBC series This Hour Has 22 Minutes has an enhanced "photo-realistic" version of this logo in the end credits, which also serves as the logo of the show itself. This end credit-variant reads "Produced by Salter Street Films Ltd. in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation" with a post-1993 CBC network ID displayed below. This is followed by a tag for the show’s URL www.22minutes.com, and then the generic SSF logo with copyright info and no URL.
 * During it's final year of operation, it would shrink a little and become the Alliance Atlantis "Stylized A" Logo with the A above and Company below the logo (like the Copyright)

FX/SFX: The logo "shining".

Music/Sounds: Plays over the ending theme, or uses a generic backdrop of wind and seagulls calling.

Availability: Seen on season 4 of LEXX on Sci-Fi Channel and DVD, as well as syndicated reruns of The Odyssey.

Editor's Note: This logo might surprise if you’ve never seen it before, but with almost no animation and no regular music it’s pretty innocuous.

2nd Logo (October 11, 1993-January 10, 1999)
Logo: On a black background we see the yellow text "Times New Roman" with the thinner teal text "Times New Roman" below it, each in a Times New Roman font. Behind it is a red slash with a white spear on it. The entire logo slides back and once it is in full view a white copyright notice fades in below.

FX/SFX: The sliding, the copyright fading in.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program or a generic backdrop of wind and seagulls calling.

Availability: So far this was seen on Emily of New Moon and This Hour Has 22 Minutes.

Editor's Note: None.
