Tang Media Partners
Background
This is the production company of Donald Tang.
1st Logo (June 24, 2016)
Logo: Sharing with the Route One Entertainment (top-left), IM Global (top-right) and Swing Lake Entertainment (bottom-left) logos on the black background, at the bottom-right, we see the connected word "TANG" in white with "MediaProductions" underneath it.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme.
Availability: Seen at the end of Free State of Jones.
2nd Logo (July 29, 2016-)
Logo: On the black tiled surface, we see the same "TANG" from the previous logo but in gold with "MEDIA PRODUCTIONS" in a different font on the black square. The camera pans from the bottom-left to the center shining the text along the way and the black surface to become black.
Variants:
- On The Bye Bye Man (the last movie to use the normal version), it cuts in at the beginning.
- On November 1, 2017, beginning with A Bad Mom's Christmas, the text is replaced with the connected "TMP".
Technique: CGI animation designed by Ben O'Mara and animated by Michael Daniels at Devastudios.
Music/Sounds: A uplifting theme played by a string section.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On Bad Moms (the first movie to use this logo), when the last note plays the opening song starts playing, leading to the film's opening.
- The other variants have the opening song playing over it.
Availability: Current. The normal version is seen on The Edge of Seventeen.
3rd Logo (Hybrid Land) (September 24, 2017-)
Logo: On a black background, we see particles of various colors rising up. The particles form a cityscape, then the camera zooms out and shows the particles expand and grow to form a map of a landscape. The lights dim as the word "TANG Media Productions" is formed.
Trivia:
- The logo was inspired by pointilism art (paintings made from dots) and the use of new technologies: LIDAR technniques (used to make digital 3D representations of areas) and light field cameras (used to modify lighting in scenes).
Variants:
- Following a change from "TANG Media Productions" to "TANG Media Partners", it is shortened to the forming of the "TMP" text.
- On Mile 22, the previous logo text is used.
Technique: Amazing graphics, again created at Devastudios. A behind-the-scenes featurette can be seen on their website.
Music/Sounds: A slightly different, string-driven, uplifting fanfare.
Music/Sounds Variants:
- On The Happytime Murders, after the music fanfare ends the opening song starts playing that leads to the Henson Alternative logo.
- The short version has the opening sounds or the opening song playing over it.
Availability: Current. The "TMP" version has debuted on every movie that they produced/co-produced ever since. However, the full name version is seen on Mile 22.
