Sullivan Entertainment

Background
This is the production company of Kevin Sullivan.

1st Logo (June 3, 1989-1996)
Logo: TBA.

FX/SFX: TBA.

Music/Sounds: Originally, a short synth note. Starting in 1995, the music was changed to a short soundtrack made of four deep trumpet entries.

Availability: Appeared on Looking for Miracles and on VHS releases of Anne of Green Gables.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (January 7, 1990-March 31, 1996)
Logo: On a gradient blue background, we see the orange text "SULLIVAN", with "FILMS" underneath it, sandwiched between two lines. Above it, a rounded rectangle made of black and white lines (this is meant to represent a TV screen) wipes in from top to bottom. A white ray comes from the left, reflecting to a red-blue-green ray.

Variant: In early years, the rectangle is already shown and the lines are formed like a thick symbol. The spark is very small.

FX/SFX: The rectangle is drawn, and the ray moving.

Music/Sounds: A short piano/string tune.

Availability: Rare. Still available on Road to Avonlea episodes, but sometimes has been plastered with the next logo. On the DVD releases of Anne of Green Gables (and other shows), it is removed.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1996- )
Logo: We see several filmstrips passing by, with a Sullivan films' frames on them. Then they swirl down in a cloud of lighty dots and freeze above the source of light, converting to a solid blue and red strips. The dots move down and form "sullivanentertainment" words.

FX/SFX: Moving filmstrips with color dots.

Music/Sounds: The 1995 music from the 1st logo.

Availability: Appears on Wind at My Back episodes and massively replaces the first logo on DVD releases.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (September 2, 2001-Mid 2000s)
Nickname: "Rippling Water"

Logo: We see a lake surrounded by trees at sunset. There is also fog around it. The camera pans down to the reflection in the lake so we can see the water rippling as well as the reflection of the sun in it. The logo fades to a better view off said reflection and zooms out so it's on a black background on which the words "SULLIVAN ENTERTAINMENT" fade in below in yellow.

Variant: Sometimes, the logo is slighty extended, and the website's URL fade in on the top.

FX/SFX: The effects and camera movement around the water and scenery—very gorgeous and well done CGI.

Music/Sounds: We hear two bird calls as well as crickets chirping in the background, which then cuts to the theme from the 3rd logo.

Availability: Can be seen on (at least) reruns of Anne Of Green Gables: The Animated Series on Qubo. It also appears on the "Kids Talk About" segments of the show uploaded on Sullivan Entertainment's YouTube Channel. Other appearences were in the promos of some programs.

Editor's Note: The sudden trumpet fanfare after the bird calls and cricket chirps may be off-putting the first time, but overall, this is a very peaceful and beautiful logo.
