Background

C2 Pictures was founded by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna, owners of Carolco Pictures, Cinergi Pictures Entertainment, and Seven Arts Pictures (the latter in association with New Line Cinema) after these companies either shut down or went bankrupt. Their first production was I Spy, though their first feature with a logo was Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. In 2007, they sold the rights of the Terminator film series to The Halcyon Company, but still had rights for the TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. When season 1 ended, they sold the rights to that as well, and closed down; The Halcyon Company ultimately closed down as well after releasing one Terminator film (that being Terminator: Salvation).

(July 2, 2003-March 3, 2008)

Logo: On a teal/gray/black futuristic background, metal objects come flying from the bottom and top of the screen, then arc to form a "C". Then, "C2 PICTURES" wipes in below.

Variants:

A sped-up version of this logo has been used on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the game trailer for Terminator 3.
A black and white version of this logo, which isn't animated, has been used on the Terminator 3 video game for Game Boy Advance.
A still version appears at the end of Basic Instinct 2.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds:

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Movie) - On the background of a metal-like sound effect, a six-note horn stinger, followed by a dramatic/triumphant orchestral finish and drums. This was composed by Jerry Goldsmith, who had previously composed the themes for Carolco and Cinergi.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (Game Trailer) - A shorter, re-orchestrated version of the music.
Basic Instinct 2 - None.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Only seen on Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (both the actual movie and game trailers) and Basic Instinct 2. Also appears on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (season 1 only).
