Discovery Films

(May 8, 1998-March 12, 1999)
Logo: On a black background, we see various objects falling; these include bubbles, cars, animals, and at one point the Big Ben tower. The objects then form the Earth on the bottom-left corner of the screen, and a hand pushes the Earth to reveal the silver word "PICTURES" surrounding the globe as the background turns into space. The words "Impact" and "CHANNEL" fade in, also in silver, beside and atop the Earth.

FX/SFX: Nice CGI animation, done at Xaos, Inc.

Music/Sounds: First, sounds of chattering and car horns are heard. Then, after the globe is spun, we hear a quite chorus saying the company name.

Availability: Seen on Africa's Elephant Kingdom and Wildfire: Feel the Heat.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo: On a black background, we see a white line draws down, shines from the inside. Then, the line turns into the film strips. As we zoom out as the film strips make a clip of the purple swirl sphere spinning, the text "DISCOVERY DOCS" place underneath the purple film stripped swirl sphere. The logo shines, and makes a quick twinkle.

FX/SFX: The purple sphere, and the words.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on at the end of Grizzly Man.

Editor's Note: None.

(September 1, 2007-July 18, 2008)
