Logo: On a black background, several silver stripes swirl into view to create a striped, glowing sphere (similar to the AT&T logo). As the striped sphere shrinks away from the screen, it comes into clearer focus, and some of the stripes towards the foreground vanish. The words:

Terra Nova Films

fade in towards the bottom right of the sphere.

FX/SFX: The swirling silver lines, which were produced with CGI. The fading in of the text was achieved using a Gaussian blur.

Music/Sounds: A pleasant, five-note stinger played on a nylon-stringed guitar. The first four notes (E, D, C, D) are played in a higher octave, with the final note (G) played as a gently-strummed chord.

Availability: Available on any Terra Nova-produced educational films, such as Assessing the Nutrition of Older Adults.

Editor's Note: None.
