(2009-2016)

Logo: In a stormy part of the sea, we move along a waving sail from various sides, then release and zoom out to see a boat sailing on a calm sea surface, all in blue. The sun is on the horizon. The picture turns into the Anchor Bay logo, which resembles an "A" in white and dark blue and 3D-folded, and a lens flare runs over its side. Below are the words:

A N C H O R B A Y
F I L M S

with the Starz byline underneath.

Variant: Some films feature a more bluish "A" and the company name tinted yellow.

Technique: CGI by Framework Studio.

Music/Sounds: Sail weaving and water sounds.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on Beyond a Reasonable Doubt and other films produced by the company.
