Background

Reveille Productions was a television production company that was founded by Ben Silverman in March 2002. In February 2008, Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine Group acquired Reveille for $125 million. On March 15, 2012, Reveille was merged with Shine Group's other American companies, Shine Americas and Shine USA to become Shine America. Silverman would eventually go on to join Propagate Content in April 2016 with Howard T. Owens; shortly after chief creative officer and former A&E channel general manager David McKillop's exit.

(March 10, 2002-March 8, 2012)

Logo: On a red background, a white silhouette of a man holding a bugle zooms-in; when he puts his bugle inside his mouth, a box fades in. The final result is a red box with a white silhouette of the bugle-playing man. The text "REVEILLE" fades in next to it and turns white.

Variants:

A longer version exists with a man walking in as he begins to blow his bugle. The shortened version has the text turning white. A still version also exists.
On The Tudors, the logo is red on a white background with the word "EIRE" underneath the name.
Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.
Starting in 2009, the last second of the animation is seen and it has a byline saying "SHINE GROUP" with Shine's golden egg logo rising up on the bottom. The text "SHINE GROUP" slides in on the right side of Shine's egg logo as it shines.
The print logo on a white background (with the red logo) is seen on The Office and The Biggest Loser video games.
- The animated version of the aforementioned print version is seen on the American version of Coupling.

Technique: The silhouette playing the trumpet and the box. On The Tudors and Do Not Disturb, none.

Music/Sounds: A 6-note trumpet fanfare sampled from the last few notes of "Reveille".

Music/Sounds Variants:

The longer version has walking sounds, followed by a 12-note trumpet fanfare.
A shortened 2-note version exists, as well as a 5-note version.
Sometimes, the closing theme plays over it.

Music/Sounds Trivia: "Reveille" is a bugle call, most often associated with the military and prisons and used to wake military personnel and prisoners at sunrise. The name originates from "réveille" (the French word for "wake up").

Availability: Uncommon.

Seen on The Office, Ugly Betty, MasterChef, the 2008 version of American Gladiators and The Tudors, among others.
The logo with the full fanfare was seen on Do Not Disturb.
