Logo (2000-)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a slightly jagged cinema filmstrip going to the right, each slide containing a frame from an Octapixx-distributed show. When the camera zooms out to reveal the filmstrip as a part of an "X", the background changes to time-lapse footage of a blue cloudy sky or a daytime one; the text "Octapixx" with a spinning filmreel for the "O" is revealed. Then, the word "Worldwide" appears spacing out underneath, "Distribution" in a smaller font fades in and the filmreel becomes a bold octagonal frame.

Variant: In 2012, the logo was remade in widescreen with different sky backgrounds.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: None, or a "Thum" followed by a whoosh and a ringing chime jingle.

Availability: Found on various programs distributed by Octapixx, including PBS library titles and documentaries.
