1st Logo (2012?-2013)


Visuals: On a white screen, there is the then current logo, but without "Gloss" on the left of the screen, but appears quite invisible. Underneath on bottom is the company name in black thin font, and the words "PRESENTS" below.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: This was a placeholder logo, and was mostly seen on one Australian releases of foreign-language films and documentaries from the period until it was replaced by the next logo.

2nd Logo (2013?-)


Visuals: On a black background, we first see the spotlight moving from right to left, showing inverted text "Gloss" on a teal green screen, then when spotlight hits over the screen is "Hi" from the first logo, reveals it on the left, and when "Gloss" text is invisible, we then show to a result of the current print logo, with the parts of the name fading in a gaussian blur effect: the name "Gloss" fades in away in a same teal green text as the screen, and the words "ENTERTAINMENT" in white, fades in below on the "Hi" symbol, then blur dissolve away to reveal it sharpen.

Technique: CGI.

Audio:
