Technique: CGI.

Audio: An ascending piano fanfare ending in a majestic hit.

Availability: Seen on early 2000's films, including Swimming Upstream and Where The Red Fern Grows.

Visuals: The screen zooms through the trees into a silhouette scenery (except the lake) with the northern lights and a wolf standing on the rock. A computer generated lake is seen with the reflection in the scenery. As the camera stops zooming, the wolf turns its head right, the northern lights turn into a tornado-shaped Milky Way and then the words "BRISTOL BAY PRODUCTIONS" appear.

Variant: On Sahara, there was a coin flipping in the logo.

Technique: CGI by The Ether.

Audio: The reorchestrated version of the fanfare from the Crusader Entertainment logo. Otherwise, silence or the opening theme.

Availability: Seen on Ray, Sahara, The Game of Their Lives, Amazing Grace and The Great Buck Howard.
