Background

Georgia Entertainment Industries is a tax incentive program that provides funding for films, video games and TV shows filmed in the US state of Georgia, formed in 1973. Its logo features the state fruit, the peach.

(November 25, 2009- )


Logo: On a black background, we see a 3D abstract peach with the word "Georgia" zooming in. Then, a white spark files out from the left and wipes in the URL "georgia.org/media".

Variants:

  • 2010- : A long version of this debuted on Tyler Perry's Meet The Browns.
  • September 12, 2011-May 2013: A still, in-credit version appears at the bottom left of the screen at the end of Family Feud before the end credits begin. Beginning on September 16, 2013, the standard version is used.
  • On a few early episodes of Dish Nation, a still version was used.
  • Beginning in September 2013, the URL changed to "tourgeorgiafilm.com". This is seen so far on Family Feud since season 15.
  • On Archer Vice and The New Atlanta, the logo is seen on a white background.
  • On several films, this logo appears white as an in-credit.
  • A version with a white background exists.
  • There is a still version with no URL.
  • There is an animated version with no URL. This version is a bit more zoomed in than usual.
  • One version has a white background, a 2D peach with the words "On My Mind" below it, in reference to the song "Georgia on my Mind" popularized by Ray Charles. Below that is the URL "ExploreGeorgia.org".
  • A still variant consisting on a silver peach is seen on the closing credits of most movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with Captain America: Civil War.
  • On Hi-Rez Studios' games, such as Smite, Paladins and Realm Royale, the logo animates above the games' technical system logos (such as Unreal Engine and Havok).
  • On Paid Off With Michael Torpey, the logo is zoomed in to the point where you can't see the URL.
  • On Good Eats: The Return, the peach from the show's credits bounces off the bottom of the screen, then moves to the center, zooms in and fades to the white-background version of the logo.
  • On some shows, an "exploregeorgia.org/film" URL is seen under the logo.
  • Beginning in 2018, the URL was removed from the logo.
  • On Good Eats: The Return, a bunch of flat peaches drop down, the last one floats and morphs into the Georgia logo.
  • An enhanced version debuted on season 2 of Tyler Perry's Assisted Living. The logo has different shading and starts out from a farther distance before zooming in, and a dark blue spotlight appears when the logo reaches a comfortable distance.
  • A still version of the above version exists. The shading is a bit different and there is no spotlight in this version.
  • On Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell: The Cartoon, the logo is smaller.

Technique: The zooming in, the spark.

Music/Sounds: A calm, four-note synth theme with "twinkling" sounds. On some shows and films, it is silent or uses the opening/closing theme of the film or show.

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • Beginning in summer 2013, someone singing "Made in Geooooorgiaaaaa" was added over the four-note synth theme. This can be heard on Family Feud.
  • On some shows, such as Archer starting with Season 2, America: The Motion Picture, and the series finale of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever (the eleventh season of ATHF), a deep voice announces "Made... in Georgia".
  • On most episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever and later seasons of Squidbillies, the singer is replaced with a different character (varies from episode to episode) of the respective shows saying the aforementioned line.
  • On the “Georgia on My Mind” variant, the announcer of the show states that the show, Georgia Travelers, was produced in partnership with the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
  • Sometimes, the theme is re-arranged with a few different twinkling sounds.
  • On the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever episode "Mouth Quest", a sound of a cash register is heard after the line. This appears during the episode.

Availability: Very common. It was first seen on Ben 10: Alien Swarm. Can be seen at the end of films and TV shows shot in Georgia, as well as some video games. Examples are current episodes on seasons 2 and beyond of Sunday Best on BET and Centric, The Game since season 4 on BET, Teen Wolf (2011) on MTV, Ben 10: Alien Swarm, Fast Five, Family Feud since season 13 on local syndication, The New Atlanta on Bravo, The Change-Up, and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, among others. This is also seen on Tyler Perry's House of Payne and Meet The Browns on TBS and local syndication. The in-credit version appears on 2011-2013 episodes of Family Feud on GSN with season 13 reruns on local syndication as the show moved to Atlanta, Georgia. The silver in-credit version appears on Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, starting with Captain America: Civil War, and shows, starting with WandaVision. This logo was also seen on the 2016 video game Killing Floor 2, the 1st season of Swift Justice in syndication, Tiny and Toya and The Mo'Nique Show both on BET. Additionally seen on Adult Swim's Too Many Cooks on YouTube (strangely), seen in the beginning of Hi-Rez Studio's game Smite after the Hi-Rez Studios Logo. Also seen on live broadcasts that are in Georgia, for example Inside the NBA. This surprisingly makes an appearance on Netflix's Hoops. Also appeared (full frame) on a recent Nicktoons airing of Tyler Perry's Young Dylan and a Nickelodeon airing of A Loud House Christmas. The “Georgia on My Mind” variant appears on Georgia Travelers.
