Background
On May 6, 2001, British film studio Redbus Film Distribution was acquired by German media company Helkon Media AG for $23 million, and renamed to "Helkon SK" to reflect its partnership with Helkon Media. On May 6, 2003, Helkon SK ended the partnership after Helkon Media went bankrupt, and changed its name back to Redbus.
Logo (2001-2003)

Visuals: On a black background, we see a small Colosseum. The walls are blue and inside is gold with a gold light shining. Below is the text "HELKON SK" in gold lettering with each letter in the word "HELKON" spaced out.
Trivia: This logo is basically the same as the "Helkon Filmverleih" film counterpart, used around 1998-2003 in Germany.
Variants:
- There is an animated production logo, used only within the years of Helkon SK's existence. The Colosseum appeared on the sunlight, zooming and rotating on the screen.
- There is also a variant where the walls are lavender.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: None. For the long version, it's the sounds of a radar followed by a "whoosh" sound.
Availability: It's seen on UK releases such as Bend It Like Beckham, A Walk to Remember, and Republic of Love, among others. The long version was seen on the 2003 version of Hansel and Gretel and Repli-Kate.
