Turner Classic Movies logo (2006)

Nickname: "The Streets"

FX: CGI Animation

Music/Sounds: A dramatical string tune.

Availability: Can be seen at the beginning of RKO, pre-1986 MGM and most Warner Bros. movies before their respective logos on TCM. It was also seen on movie trailers of Turner Entertainment library titles on DVD.

The first logo is only on silent films scored by winners of TCM's annual "Young Composers" contest, which the winner is given the chance to write and record a new musical score for a recently restored silent film. The second is really a network ID which preceeds RKO, pre-1986 MGM and Warner Bros. movies shown on TCM.
