Nicknames: "The Blue/Green Globe", "The CGI Globe", "Planet Turner"
Logo: On a blue/violet gradient CGI starfield, an oblong blue marquee with gold trim with the word "Turner" in silver, fancy and italic letters with the right arm of the "T" extended over the other letters, and the left arm curled; this is the same as the Turner print logo 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: There are two versions of the graphic; one with a large globe at the top left and smaller (in proportion) marquee that faces us at an angle at the end, and one with a smaller globe at the top right and longer, more expanded marquee that faces us head-on. The former is most commonly used as the short version. And keep these color variations in mind too:
FX/SFX: The starfield, logo and globe, all decent mid-late 1980s CGI.
Music/Sounds:
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Rare in its original version and common in the warp speed version.
Editor's Note: 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.
Editor's Note: 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's 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.
Editor's Note: None.
