1st Logo (1997-2001)

Logo: On a black background, we see a purple "i" with other letters that form "Peakvewing", sliding to the left and the right. When the camera pans up to a capture of the Earth's low-right corner, a yellow light appears and the letters of "T R A N S A T L A N T I C", appear surrounded by two lines and by dots between each letter. The light shines for a few seconds before fading out.

Technique: The letters and the background.

Music/Sounds: A crystallized jingle that turns into a powerful and dramatic fanfare. In early years, the music was remixed with a synth guitar beat.

Availability: Appeared on The Last Leprechaun, Merlin: The Return and The Meerksville Ghost. Also shown on Preschool programs like The Bag People and Filligogging.

2nd Logo (2001-2007)

Logo: A glowing neon bird flies above the night water surface. Then it freezes still in the center and "PEAKVIEWING" rises from the water, followed by smaller "TRANSATLANTIC PLC".

Variants:

  • In early years, the bird would morph into "PRESENTS", and the "PLC" is absent. The soundtrack was also different.
  • On Dazzle and several other distributed films, the logo was still on black background.

Technique: Animation of the bird.

Music/Sounds: The "Presents" version had a crystallized jingle soundtrack with twinkles. Also, the previous music was used.

Availability: Rare. Used on later movies like Hoodlum & Son and The Magic Door. The logo also plasters the previous one in early 2000s prints of older movies by the company.
