Walden Media

1st Logo (October 17, 2002-January 21st, 2010)
Nickname : "The Flipping Stone"

Logo : In a lake with hills and trees behind it, a flipping stone hits the water three times with a trail, and creates a ripple effect each time it hits the water. While all this happens, the picture is enclosed in a black circle outline, and "WALDEN MEDIA" fades in. After a while, we fade out.

Variants : Closing Logo Variation: The white print logo (Based on the normal version) is shown in the black background.
 * On Because of Winn-Dixie, after a few seconds the logo forms, the simmering water freezes and slowly fades out a few seconds later.
 * On The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, it animates as normal, but after it forms at the top-right of the enclosed circle starts to cover up, as the text fades out & the shimmering water fades to the point after the logo formation. The darkened sky fades into the background, as the logo slowly fades to the moon to encounter the lunar eclipse to serge into the prologue.
 * At the beginning of Journey to the Center of the Earth, in concurrenting with the T-Rex in the opening, it rumbles before the logo fades out.
 * A print logo was used on Water Horse game for NDS.

 * 2004-2009: A long horn note with a three note piano sounder. First heard on Around the World in 80 Days.

​ Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Holes, the a-capella prologue of "Dig It", the movie's main music, plays over it while the music fades in, leading into the opening.
 * On Charlotte's Web (2006 version), the third part of the special orchestral warming up plays over it, leading into the Nickelodeon Movies logo.

Variants:
