Logo description and capture by Shadeed A. Kelly and EnormousRat

Background: Overture Films was founded in Fall 2006 under Starz, LLC, by industry veterans Chris McGurk (CEO) and Danny Rosett (COO). The first feature was Mad Money (2008).


(2008-)


Overture Films: 2008Overture Films (2008)

Nickname: "The Paintbrush Arch"

Logo: On a black background, we see a teal paintbrush forming an arch where we see "OVERTURE" in Trajan Pro font being shined over. As the paintbrush finishes drawing, the word "OVERTURE" appears in from teal to white. We later see the word "FILMS" fading in below in the same font but smaller as the paintbrush arch turns into a solid blue color and finally the byline "a starz company" with "starz" in its bold font.

Variants:
  • Closing variant: At the end of every movie, the phrase "DISTRIBUTED BY" is seen above the logo.
  • In mid-late 2008, the Starz name on the byline was changed to the 2008 Starz logo.
  • On the videogame Righteous Kill, the logo is still on white background.

FX/SFX: The paintbrush effect.

Music/Sounds: A soft orchestrational theme played by a piano, a violin, and a bass.

Availability: Seen on Overture movies like:
Mad Money, The Visitor, Righteous Kill, Henry Poole is Here, and Traitor, among other releases. Also seen on games made by Righteous Kill franchise.

Scare Factor: Absolutely none. In fact, this is one of the best logos by far.
