Island of Misfits

Background
Named after the Nova Scotian city of the same name, Halifax Film was a company that was founded in 2004. In 2006, Halifax Film merged with Decode Entertainment to form DHX Media. The two companies continued until September 2010, when all divisions of DHX were renamed to their parent company's name.

(2004-2007)
Logo: On a water background, the text "halifax film company" fades in.

Variants:
 * On post-2007 reruns of Season 1 of Poko, a DHX Media byline appeared below the text.
 * Sometimes the word "company" is removed.
 * On Lunar Jim, an in-credit version is seen.
 * On This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a copyright notice appears under the logo.

FX/SFX: The rippling water and text. Simple CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme to the show, or the first three notes of the piano piece "Clair de Lune", originally composed by Claude Debussy.

Availability: Appeared on all Halifax Film shows from this era, including This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Poko and Lunar Jim. These days, it's become much harder to find as their output hasn't been reran lately.

Editor's Note: None.

(September 3, 2007-November 29, 2011)
Logo: On a black background, the text "halifaxfilm" with a DHX Media byline zooms in.

FX/SFX: The zooming of the text.

Music/Sounds: A 7-note dramatic orchestral fanfare or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Common. Intact on their TV shows even after the merger, such as The Mighty Jungle, Bo on the Go!, Animal Mechanicals, and Pirates: Adventures in Art, all of which were on CBC. Like the previous logo, it's also become much harder to find as their output hasn't been reran lately.

Editor's Note: None.
