Debmar-Mercury

Background
Debmar-Mercury is a syndication company that was formed in 2006 as a merger between Debmar Studios and Mercury Entertainment. The company was bought on July 12, 2006 by Lionsgate and became a wholly-owned subsidiary.

1st Logo (Summer-Fall 2006)
Logo: On a white background, we see a film negative with a jaguar, leaping halfway out of the negative. Above the logo, in Copperplate Gothic, is "Copperplate Gothic".

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Can be seen on Animal Atlas and Safari Tracks episodes from the era.

2nd Logo (Fall 2006-)


Logo: Same as the Debmar Studios logo, but the text now reads "Copperplate Gothic" in Copperplate Gothic, and it takes place on a black background with a glow in the center.

Variants:
 * A still version exists.
 * Starting in 2010, the logo is enhanced.
 * Beginning September 12, 2011, the logo has the byline "Times New Roman" underneath the word "Copperplate Gothic".
 * Sometimes, the Lionsgate byline fades in . This is only seen on some episodes of The Jeremy Kyle Show.
 * On Family Feud episodes since September 10, 2012, the logo cuts off right before it's completely formed.
 * A more common variant doesn't include the jaguar's hind legs.
 * Long, very long , and short versions of this logo exist.
 * On syndie prints of Tosh-O, the logo fades out; the 20th Television logo fades in afterward.
 * On Nick Cannon, the logo fades in and out.
 * On episode 8 of the show, the logo fades to Nick Cannon performing the show's closing theme, the "See Ya Sing-Along", before cutting to black. This might have been a error presumably due to the episode's possibly rushed closing.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Same as the Debmar Studios logo. This would later be changed to some different-sounding chimes and whooshes, ending in a different roar soundbite; this version began use on September 22, 2008, and was used in tandem with the 2003 music until 2011.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Sometimes, it's the closing theme of the show.
 * On the Lionsgate byline variants, the last two notes of the 2006 Lionsgate Films theme are heard with the 2008 music.
 * There is a warp speed version.
 * On some episodes of The Jeremy Kyle Show, the 2008 music plays over the long version first followed by the last two notes from the 2005 Lionsgate Films theme.
 * On Family Feud, there is a higher pitched of the jaguar's roar while the last two notes of the 2006 Lionsgate Films theme are playing.
 * On the Anger Management TV series, it's the jaguar's roar before cutting to the Lionsgate Television logo.
 * A silent version exists and was seen on a Showtime free view on demand airing of the pilot of Weeds, followed by the Showtime and Lionsgate logos.

Availability:
 * It's seen on post-2007 episodes of Family Feud, The Wendy Williams Show, Are We There Yet?: The Series, and local reruns of The Dead Zone, Farscape, Tyler Perry's House of Payne, Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns, and South Park.
 * This logo can also be seen after all Lionsgate-owned movies on television as well as syndicated prints of Revolution Studios movies such as Zoom and xXx: State of The Union.
 * When G4 aired The Man Show, this logo appeared at the end.
 * The long version can be found on a few episodes of Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns.
 * The 2011 version can be seen on more recent prints of Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns and a syndicated print of The Brothers Solomon.
 * The long version of the 2011 logo appears on a syndicated print of the 2007 film Perfect Stranger.
 * The logo appears on Schitt's Creek.
