Background

Clear Blue Sky Productions (later Vulcan Productions) was the production company of Microsoft co-founder and early DreamWorks backer Paul Allen, formed in 1997.^[1]. Allen died in 2018, and the company shut down in 2021.

Logo (December 24, 1999-April 27, 2001)

Visuals: We see a blue light on a circle and a close-up of the front of an abstract man standing. We then pan away from it as the circle slowly changes to an orange color (similar to the Sun). Once the circle and man are in position, the words "clear blue sky PRODUCTIONS" move upwards under it.

Variant: A short version has the man zoom straight away instead, and the company name simply fades in.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A mellow orchestral theme.

Availability: Seen on Titus, The Luzhin Defense and The Safety of Objects, and their trailers. It was also seen on the WGBH documentary series Evolution.
