Logo (Early 2000s)


Visuals: Over a black background with an orange-tinted movie camera, we see the text "TIMELESS" (in Arial Black), with "M E D I A G R O U P" below that, and "presents" in Verdana underneath "G R O U P". The camera continues turning until we get to its lens, where a flash engulfs the screen, changing the "presents" text to "Production" in a bold Century Gothic, and with "a" on top of "TIMELESS". The screen zooms out from the center of the disc, swallowing the text and revealing the DVD Video logo zooming in behind it. The disc flies into and disappears in the right line of the "V" before the DVD logo fades out.

Variant: The logo was enhanced later on in the 2000s, with the camera now being in a dark beige tint, and with "PRESENTS" being in a Copperplate Gothic font. The logo fades out when the flash appears from the movie camera, and it also starts with a rolling film wheel with the camera panning down. There is also no DVD Video segment.

Technique: Live-action combined with CGI for the disc.

Audio: Just the sound of a projector running.

Availability: Can be seen on their video and DVD releases from the 2000s, such as Above and Beyond.
