Background

Brighter Pictures was a British television production company that was formed in 1992 by Gavin Hay and Remy Blumenfeld. The company later expanded to set up offices in Scotland and Mumbai. It was sold off to Endemol in 2001. It was later merged with Cheetah Television into Remarkable Television (now Remarkable Entertainment) in 2009.

1st Logo (April 19, 1996-August 2, 1998)

• 

Visuals: A blue radio signal is emitted from a moving background consisting of two scrolling black surfaces textured with cyan and violet skies. The animation stretches from a wide rectangle into a square box where "BRIGHTER PICTURES", with a bright spotlight in the centre, zooms in and rests on the bottom of the sequence. Before the background sequence radially wipes into white, additional in-credit information fade in below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A deep synthesized hum for the entire sequence, alongside a whoosh when the background sequence stretches.

Availability: Seen on early Brighter Pictures programmes such as Flava and the Arthouse documentary "The Other Francis Bacon".
