Skydance Television

Background

Skydance Television is the television division of Skydance Media (formerly Skydance Productions), launched in 2013. It didn't use an on-screen logo until 2014.

1st Logo (July 27, 2014-)

Nickname: "The Front of the Sun on TV"

Logo: We see a flash of light that dims to reveal a shortened version of the 2010 Skydance Productions logo, and "TELEVISION" replaces "PRODUCTIONS". There is also a trademark symbol next to the N in "TELEVISION".

FX/SFX: The flash of light revealing a short version of the movie logo. Like its movie counterpart, it's done by Picturemill.

Music/Sounds: The last 4 notes of the theatrical logo's fanfare by Pinar Toprak.

Availability: Common. First seen on Manhattan and the Netflix series Grace and Frankie and other series from Skydance Television.

Editor's Note: Skydance still used the 2010 logo for television even after the movie logo was updated in 2016.

2nd Logo (2021-)

Nickname: "Above the Sun on TV"

Logo: On the same background as the current Skydance Media logo, we see the letters in "SKYDANCE" zooming out. Once they are almost finished zooming, a flash of light draws an arc underneath "SKYDANCE" "TELEVISION can be seen being wiped in with the flash.

FX/SFX: The letters zooming out and the flash of light drawing the arc.

Music/Sounds: So far, none.

Availability: Brand new. First seen on Foundation and is expected to be seen on future shows from the company.

Editor's Note: Only time will tell if the fanfare from the last logo will be used.
