Variants:

  • In recent years the URL www.salter.com or one connected with a particular SSF series appeared under the logo.

This end credit-variant reads "Produced by Salter Street Films Ltd. in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation" with a post-1993 CBC network ID displayed below. This is followed by a tag for the show’s URL www.22minutes.com, and then the generic SSF logo with copyright info and no URL.

FX/SFX: The logo "shining".

Music/Sounds: Plays over the ending theme, or uses a generic backdrop of wind and seagulls calling.
