Logo descriptions and capture by Kidinbed


Background: Destination Films is Sony Pictures' niche film arm founded by Brent Baum and Steve Stabler in 1999. Destination sometimes co-releases films with Sony Pictures Classics, Samuel Goldwyn Films, and Triumph Films. Destination's film library includes independent films, art-house films, and a few animes such as Tekkonkinkurito, Cowboy Bebop The Movie, and Metropolis.


(October 1999- )


Nicknames: "Destination Space", "The Revolution", "Abstract Ring"


Logo: On an orange background, we see a planet (presumably the Earth) orbiting around the sun. When the earth comes close to the sun, shadows of the letters I, T, N, I, T, and N fade in and crowd around the sun and planet. The planet moves into the sun, and the letters (which are now "DESTINATION") move in. A bright flash occurs, and on a
Destination Films black background, we see the Destination logo, which is two halves of a circle split up by a line. The line has a crescent on one side and a sun on the other. The text is like this:

DESTINATION
F----I----L----M----S

The logo then shines.

FX/SFX: Everything in CGI that's not bad for 1999.

Music/Sounds: An extended whoosh accompanied by a synth choir.

Availability: Very common; appears on a lot of the films that Destination released, such as Bats, Drowning Mona, Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Metropolis, Buying the Cow, Steamboy, Tokyo Godfathers, MirrorMask, and most recently, Tekkonkinkurito.

Scare Factor: Low to medium because of the music, the ominous nature of the logo, and the in-your-face animation. However, this logo is well-liked and is very professional.
