Arc Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

In April 2009, Starz Animation was spun off and renamed to Arc Productions. In 2016, Arc went bankrupt and locked out its employees due to a financial emergency, and was eventually bought by Jam Filled Entertainment, who renamed the studio to Jam Filled Toronto. It and its titular parent company are currently owned by Boat Rocker Media.



1st Logo (August 3, 2011-March 18, 2016)


Visuals: On a black background, the word "Arc" in a script font draws itself in. Below, a yellow light brings forth "PRODUCTIONS" with a green painted line under the word. Meanwhile, the "Arc" text gains green shadowing.

Variants:

  • On Ormie, the logo is smaller, and the line is removed. There is also more shadowing behind the text.
  • On Thomas & Friends, the logo is still. Nick Jr. prints have this logo much brighter.
  • On Thomas & Friends: King of the Railway, the Arc logo fades in along with the "PRODUCTIONS" text.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the show or none.

Audio Variant: Sometimes, the animated version has a phasing sound followed by a one-note guitar strum sounder with low beats following. This was composed by Domenico Acone.
