Background

CCI Entertainment Ltd (also known as Cambium Catalyst International Entertainment) is a Canadian media production company founded by Arnie Zipursky and Charles Falzon in 2002 through the merger of Cambium Entertainment Corp. and Catalyst Entertainment Inc. In 2013, the company's children's and family distribution library was acquired by 9 Story Entertainment.

1st Logo (February 26, 2003-July 7, 2017)


Visuals: Multicolored circles zoom out on a white background to form a red dot. A blue rectangle appears below the dot. Two "C"'s are drawn, the first being yellow and the second cyan. The words "entertainment ltd" fade in.

Variants:

  • A still variant exists, sometimes on a black background.
  • Sometimes, "releasing", "releasing inc" or "releasing presents" replaces "entertainment ltd".
  • In some cases, the words "cambium catalyst international" (what "CCI" stands for) will be below "entertainment ltd".
  • There is an in-credit version.
  • On early episodes of Artzooka!, the logo is superimposed on a black background with the white text "A GERMANY / CANADA OFFICIAL CO-PRODUCTION" above the logo and the copyright notice "(c) 2009 ARTZOOKA SERIES I (CANADA) Inc / MotionWorks GmbH" below.
  • On Timeblazers and Artzooka!, an extended version exists where the white background fades in before the multicoloured circles appear, there are more circles than usual, and when it gets to the point where the circles cover the entire screen, the circles burst into the red dot, and the screen zooms away from it. A blue rectangle goes through the dot before another blue rectangle appears below the dot, and the rest of the animation then continues as normal.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on Timeblazers and season 3 of Monster by Mistake. The still variant can be found on Harry and his Bucket Full of Dinosaurs, Erky Perky and others. The "releasing" variants appear on the 2 previously mentioned shows, as well as on Artzooka! and Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks. The in-credit version appears on season 1 of Guess How Much I Love You. Was last seen at the end of the movie Undercover Grandpa.
