South Pacific Pictures (New Zealand)

1st Logo

(1992-2000)

Logo: On a black background, we see a camera moving up from the bottom of the screen, emitting a ray of light. Along with it are two theater masks that revolve around the spotlight. They make their way to the center and the light shines on them, causing the masks to become illustrations of one another in a black box with two arcs on opposing corners of the box and the screen to become white. The text is seen beneath it in a black font reading:

SOUTH PACIFIC

P I C T U R E S

L    I   M    I   T  E   D

Variants: FX/SFX: The camera/masks moving, the screen changing, fairly competent effects for the time.
 * A short variant is much more common, and the still version exists as well.
 * An in-credit variant seen on early prints of Shortland Street contains the logo placed next to the Grundy logo, as well as the words Produced by South Pacific Pictures Limited in association with Grundy Television Pty Limited. on the bottom.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program.

Availability: Rare. The short version was seen on Tales of the South Seas, Monkey House, Miss Piggle Wiggle, Clarence and other local series. The long version appeared on the Alliance Atlantis prints of the last season of Ray Bradbury's Theater, but only earliest episodes as well as Double Booking. The remaining episodes have the action shortened in favor of the Bradshaw MacLeod & Associates logo following it.

Scare Factor: Low. The fact that the full animation plays at the end of Ray Bradburry's Theater along with its creepy theme doesn't make it any better. None for the other variants.

2nd Logo

(2001-2011)

Logo: A stylized blue star zooms on a marine background. The name "SOUTH PACIFIC PICTURES" fades in on the right side of the star. Below it is the byline reading "turning dreams into drama".

FX/SFX: The star zooming and rippling.

Music/Sounds: The opening or closing theme.

Availability: Appeared on several TV series, such as Being Eve, but also on movies. Most notably seen on Sione's Wedding.

Scare Factor: None, it's a good logo.

3rd Logo

(2011- )

Logo: Three green stars pass by, rotating and sending shines. One of them circles back to the screen, creating the name "SOUTH PACIFIC" and the word "PICTURES" in small lettering setting above it

FX/SFX: The stars moving and shining.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme.

Availability: Appeared on Brokenwood Mysteries.

Scare Factor: Minimal.
