===Background=== |
===Background=== |
The Turner Entertainment Company (commonly referred to as "Turner Entertainment Co.") was established on August 4, 1986 by media mogul Ted Turner, initially being a media distribution subsidiary of Turner Broadcasting System to oversee its film and television libraries for domestic and worldwide distribution, after its ultra short-lived acquisition of MGM/UA Entertainment Co (now "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc.", and "United Artists Corporation" respectively, which are now owned by MGM Holdings Inc.) Since Time Warner (later "WarnerMedia" and now "Warner Bros. Discovery") acquired Turner Broadcasting in 1996, it has served as an in-name only subsidiary and copyright holder of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc.
Nicknames: "The Blue/Green Globe", "The CGI Globe", "Planet Turner"
Logo: On a blue/violet gradient CGI starfield, a blue oblong marquee with gold trim with the word "Turner" in silver and fancy italic letters with the right arm of the "T" extended over the other letters, and the left arm curled moves in, close to the screen from the right. The camera turns left to follow it, and it approaches a green globe, like a planet or moon, positioned in the top left and lit from there and behind. As it approaches, it zooms out and turns its left side (the camera's right) in away from the camera, eventually settling in front of the globe as the camera movement stops.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The starfield, logo and globe, all decent mid-late 1980s CGI.
Music/Sounds:
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Uncommon for both versions.
Legacy: A fantastic logo due to its CGI and fanfare.
Logo: Just a still of the Turner logo on a white background, which is positioned center-left. There are segmented lines behind the logo.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: A snippet of the Droopy cartoon "Drag-A-Long Droopy", which is an echoed gunshot after Droopy says the line "Exciting. isn't it?".
Availability: It's seen only in the documentary Tex Avery: King of Cartoons.
Legacy: It's probably a placeholder.
Nicknames: "Filmstrip Star", "Turner Star"
Logo: This has two distinct versions:
Variants:
FX/SFX: Just the fading. For the alternate The Making of a Legend: Gone with the Wind variant, there is also the star moving on the screen and zooming out. None for the Tom and Jerry Kids in-credit logo.
Music/Sounds:
Availability: Turner used this logo mainly as a print logo during this era, and any onscreen appearance of this logo is quite rare.
