Logo: We see the logo for MExcess (Which is the same logo for Movie Network but pushed to the left and has the words “excess” in all lower case except for the “X” which is two TCF-like searchlights) then we drive by a row of the signature Film Chips but in reddish-pink istead of blue. Then we stop at 1 of them, and it glows, “Feature Presentation”, in the same font as well.
Trivia: This was the only The Movie Network channel to not use the same idents as other channels owned by The Movie Network.
Variants:
- An end-of-film variant exists, where the signature film chip forms the logo.
- From 2013-16, the end-of-film variant plays as normal, then we zoom out to reveal that the logo is on an HDTV on a white background. Holding the TV is the Bell Media logo.
Technique: The CGI animation.
Music/Sounds:
- Opening: TBA.
- Closing: A guitar sting and a couple of faint drum notes.
Music/Sounds Variant: From 2013-16, the closing music is followed by a male announcer reading "MExcess, a division of Bell Media".
Availability: Extinct, due to being renamed TMN 3 and later Crave 3. Check your old tapes. This logo was also hard to find online until October 20, 2022, when the 2013 variant was uploaded to YouTube.
