Background

Bellum developed, produced, and distributed TV projects for broadcast, cable, digital, and ancillary markets. Bellum Entertainment began creating E/I programs in 2004 with the release of Animal Atlas.

The company was closed in 2017.

Logo: On a black background, we see two yellow-orange discs fly in from both sides of the screen and, once they are above each other, they begin turning up as a rectangle of the same color slides up from the bottom of the screen, this creating an abstract "B". The name "BELLUM", in white, fades and squashes in beneath the letter, with the smaller word "ENTERTAINMENT" quickly fading underneath it. Each of the letters in "BELLUM" then glow a light yellow.

Technique: CGI and 2D text animation.

Music/Sounds: A eight-note orchestral tune or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on shows produced by them, some examples including Zoo Clues, The Coolest Places on Earth, and Corrupt Crimes.
