Visuals: On a black background, a dark setting with blue hills and a road fades in. A man with a fedora walks down the road, carrying a bindle on his shoulder, and the setting brightens. A box zooms out around the area with the man, and "CARAVAN PICTURES" appears above and below the picture, respectively.
Trivia: The logo and company name is most likely a tribute to the 1941 film Sullivan's Travels, about a filmmaker who sets out to make more meaningful movies. He travels on foot in a similar shot. At the end of the film, he describes his life as a "cockeyed caravan". Joe Roth is reportedly a fan of Sullivan's Travels director Preston Sturges, and his former company, Morgan Creek Productions, is named after another Sturges film, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek.
Variant: On both John Kehe's and REZN8's demo reels, the logo animates at a smoother rate.
Technique: A mix of CGI and live-action, designed by John Kehe and animated at REZN8.
Audio: A piano/woodwind/string jingle. After it stops, there is a gradual increase of volume for the orchestrated part, ending with a triumphant finish sounded out by trumpets and brass. There are two versions of this theme, one more bombastic than the other, both of which were composed by Randy Edelman.
Availability: It can be found on films produced by the studio such as Angels in the Outfield, Heavyweights, While You Were Sleeping, Angie, Dead Presidents, I Love Trouble, Metro, Six Days Seven Nights, and Inspector Gadget.
