Background

Oy Filmiteollisuus Fine Ab or Filmiteollisuus Fine in short, was an Finnish TV and later film production company founded in 1995, that originally focused on documentaries and talk show programs. Towards the end of 90's, Filmiteollisuus Fine then started producing number of entertainment shows such as sketch shows like Paristo, Jopet Show, Ihmisten puolue and animated satires like The Autocrats (Itse valtiaat) and Jefferson Anderson (Pasila). Filmiteollisuus Fine produced also the program known as Maailman pisin talkshow, which reached the Guinness World record for the longest simultaneously hosted talk show at the time. Around 2002, Filmiteollisuus bought previously recuracted Funny-Films Oy from MTV Oy. In January 2, 2013, the production company ceased to exist after being fused into the newly founded parent company Yellow Film & TV. The symbol of the company's logo is toco toucan (Ramphastos toco) with black and white/yellow beak.

Filmiteollisuus Fine

1st Logo (1995-April 6, 2009)

Visuals: In a dark blue background, there is a huge orange circle representing the Sun on the horizon, which is an ocean. In both the left and right sides of the screen, there are palm trees, revealing that the location is a beach. There is a toucan flying between the trees towards the left side of the sun, but it would disappear, making the sun become smaller and rising to it's finished position while the text "FILMITEOLLISUUS" rotates, with the toucan reappearing on top of it. Some clouds would appear in the background as well. The toucan turns to face the viewer and clicks the beak, with the text shining.

Variants:

• Strangely, one episode of Kurkistus documentary program has the logo beginning with black and white setting as colors quickly fade-in back.
• A widescreen variant of the original long variant exists with above and bottom parts of the screen being cut.
• Starting around 2001, the abridged variant is more commonly used where the first five seconds are cut out. Even shorter variant has only the beak clicking animation seen from the end of the logo.
• Much like the original variant, there also exists a separate widescreen variant for abridged logo with above and bottom parts of the screen cut.
• The abridged variant also tends to be stretched from its original 4:3 to widescreen format.
• The fourth season of Jopet Show has abridged variant zoomed out and centered in the middle of the black background. The logo's circumference is delimited by a round edge.
• In Tohtori Kiminkinen, the logo animation skips the first few seconds with toucan already seeing flying in far distance before the logo is slowly forming on the beach scenery.

Technique: Beach setting at night time, fading text and the toucan itself.

Audio: Unknown

Audio Variants:

• The abridged variant with sound has only the beak clicking and three piano notes.
• Much shows and programs produced in 2000's have none or the end-title theme from any show. The Autocrats has random sound effect related to each episode or fart noise being heard right when the toucan is clicking its beak.
• In Jopet Show, we hear an announcement "Jope on poistunut studiosta." (Translated as "Jope has left the studio.") The line was originally spoken by Mika Räinä, while later on Jope Ruonansuu himself says the line from 3rd season forward.

Availability:

• The original full variant is quite hard to find nowadays, as it is for the most part featured in its early documentaries and programs from the 90's such as Kurkistus and Sexodus.
• Abridged variant with sound is not easy to find as well, as it is seen in Videotreffit.
• Pertsa ja Kilu mini-series from 2000 has the full variant on widescreen and it is intact in the DVD release. Abridged variant on widescreen is seen in 'The Autocrats from 6th season onwards.
• Lots of shows featured the later abridged variant such as The Autocrats and Eläinopissa.
• First two seasons of Jefferson Anderson and the first season of Ihmisten puolue had occasionally included the stretched widescreen variant.

• The abridged variant does not have the background music and relies on sounds of sea waves, toucan flapping its wings and the beak clicking.
• Some episodes of Siskonpeti have different sound patterns such as the first episode having the toucan silencing women screaming in the background with its generic bird sound effect (There are no sea waves heard in the background) and the sixth episode having the beak clicking being replaced with slurping and coffee cup's clatter sounds.
