Turner Classic Movies

1st Logo
(1999-2007?)

Nickname: "Blue Sunlight"

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue sunlight. As this happens, the blue light writes the words "Turner Classic Movies presents" and then fades out. The blue light writes the words "Original Music by (MUSIC COMPOSER'S NAME HERE)" before it fades out. After a few seconds later, the blue light fades out.

FX: The blue light.

Music: None.

Availability: Can be only seen on silent films, such as Camille (1921) among others which recieved new music scores by winners of TCM's annual Young Composers competition.

Scare Factor: Low.


2nd Logo
(2006- )

Nickname: "The Streets"

Logo: We zoom out through the streets. As this happens, the words "TCM" in its corporate font, zooms out over the streets, and a box surrounds the streets on a black background. The words "TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES" is seen below it, in an Arial Narrow font.

FX: CGI Animation

Music: 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.

Scare Factor: None.

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.
