Background

On May 1, 2013, Skydance Media launched a television division, hiring Marcy Ross as division president. Carolyn Harris joined the company as vice president a month later. It didn't use an on-screen logo until 2014.

1st Logo (July 27, 2014-)


Logo: We see a flash of light that dims to reveal a shortened version of the 2010 film logo, with "TELEVISION" replacing "PRODUCTIONS" and a trademark symbol next to it.

Technique: CGI animation. Like its movie counterpart, it's done by Picturemill.

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

Availability: Common.

  • First seen on Manhattan, and was later seen on Grace and Frankie, Ten Days in the Valley, Altered Carbon, and the first two seasons of Condor.
  • Even after the next logo debuted, this was still seen on the remainder of Grace and Frankie (starting with "The Raccoon") and Jack Ryan.

2nd Logo (February 4, 2021-)


Logo: Same as the current Skydance New Media logo, except the text below reads "TELEVISION".

Variant: On Foundation, the logo is shortened to the final few seconds.

Technique: Same as the New Media logo.

Music/Sounds: The final notes of the film logo's fanfare composed by Lorne Balfe, the closing theme of the show, or silence.

Availability: Current. Used in tandem with the previous logo.

  • First seen on this article on Skydance's website, and debuted with Foundation and later seen on Reacher and The Big Door Prize.
  • The version with the theme debuted on The Checkup: With Dr. David Agus.
