Background

Tout sur l'Écran Productions is a French television production company founded by Catherine Barma in September 1998.



1st Logo (March 21, 1999-July 7, 2007)

Visuals: A white-turquoise-grey coloured TV set displaying static is shown on a dodger blue background with a white spotlight shining on it. The words "TOUT SUR L'ÉCRAN" in a wide, blocky font fly and bounce off the TV sett word by word, which causes the TV set to get pushed back by a short distance. Then, the screen zooms into the TV static and it cuts into a white background displaying the following text:

une production
TOUT
SUR
L'ÉCRAN

the company name is glowing and has several letters stretched to enclose the text within a rectangular shape, which includes the "L" and "N" being vertically stretched and both "U" set at a wide scale. Television static briefly flashes in two times, both of which are different from the first static shown earlier. A few seconds later, the logo cuts to static.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Muffled, television static is heard for the first half of the audio sequence. Two stock cartoon metallic smashing sound effects play when the words make contact with the TV set, followed by a whoosh leading to three small cuts of static in a crisper quality compared to the first static..

Availability: The logo appears on Tout le monde en parle, On a tout essayé, and the first season of On n'est pas couché.

2nd Logo (September 3, 2007-January 18, 2014)

Visuals: The first half from the previous logo plays albeit with the words flying a lot slower. The second half gives the logo animation and a shiny, glass texture. The logo slowly rotates upwards to directly face the screen as a large portion of the text reflects until it is at a front facing direction. At that point, the text is glowing, completely blue, and zooming out. "une production" from before in a thicker font fades in above the logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation and CGI.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: The logo can be seen on On n'est pas couché episodes from this period as well as On n'demande qu'à en rire.

3rd Logo (January 25, 2014-July 4, 2020)

Visuals: The first half of the logo sequence is redone to reflect the then-current appearance of TV sets; it now displays a black HD flat screen on a background where the spotlight is replaced with a large white glow in the centre and a lens flare poking in at the top left. The words flying into the TV set are now the ones from the actual logo and one of them can be seen flying directly into the screen. When the screen zooms into the TV static, it briefly crossfades to the finished product before more static comes along and other TV glitching effects. The final product is still, thicker, displays the company name in blue with the acronym in a darker shade of said color, a plastic texture, and contains a very small grey outline. "productions", in a font resembling the "une production" portion of the previous logos, is shown below the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Same as before.

Availability: The logo can be seen on On n'est pas couché episodes from this period, making its debut and final appearance on said show.
