Background
Alcon Entertainment, LLC is an American film production company, founded on January 23, 1997 by film producers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove.
(April 23, 1999-)
Visuals: On a black background, a blue-tinted archer is shown holding a bow. The image slowly shifts downward, leaving behind several shadows that fade out, a la the Tig Productions logo. The archer proceeds to draw his bow. Wind comes in, stretching the archer until it forms a rectangle with an abstract drawing of the archer in it. The rectangle shines, and the words "ALCON ENTERTAINMENT" are wiped in below. A light blue registered trademark appears beside the name.
Variants:
- A short version of this logo exists.
- On The Expanse and Pete the Cat, the rectangle shines differently and the wiping is changed now reading "ALCON TELEVISION GROUP" instead of "ALCON ENTERTAINMENT".
Technique: CGI created by Rod Dyer Design, Nina Saxon Design, Framework Studio & New Wave Entertainment.
Audio: A lush orchestrated piece composed by Pfeifer Broz. Music. Sometimes, the logo is silent or the opening theme of the film plays.
Availability:
- Appears on films like Insomnia, My Dog Skip, The Blind Side, P.S. I Love You and Dolphin Tale.
- Strangely, its print logo appears on the disc artwork (but not the cover) of the DVD release of We Bare Bears: The Movie, despite the fact that the company didn't had any involvement with the film.
- The television variant appeared on shows like The Expanse and Pete the Cat.
