Skydance Animation

Background

Skydance Animation is the animation division of the American production company Skydance Media which is based in Santa Monica, California. It was founded on March 16, 2017 when the company formed a multi-year partnership with Madrid-based animation studio Ilion Animation Studio. In 2020, Skydance Media acquired it and rebranded it to Skydance Animation Madrid. It currently has a multi-year film and television deal with Apple TV+.

Prototype

Logo: On a space background, there is a green, grassy planet with paths in it. A rocket and a UFO, with blue and pink trails, respectively, launch out of the planet, forming an atom-like pattern. Cutting to different shots of the rocket and UFO flying, then to the final shot, as the UFO and rocket split and form a "T" trail, the UFO flies through the text "SKYDANCE", in the same font as the 2022 Skydance logo, as the UFO turns the text into silver from spinning around. The rocket draws a curved underline to the company's name, then the text "ANIMATION" (in Hurme Geometric Sans 2 Regular font) fades in underneath.

Trivia:

The rocket, UFO and the planet are from the short film Blush.
The logo was designed and animated by former Pixar and Disney Animation CEO, John Lasseter.

Variants:

A shortened version of this logo exists, where it simply shows "ANIMATION" fading in below "SKYDANCE".
A prototype version exists on Blush, where the logo just fades in, is smaller, cut to its last seconds, and the blue trail and the rocket is absent, but a subtle, but faint gold light can be seen.

Technique: The text appearing and the drawing line, CGI done by Skydance Animation Madrid.

Music/Sounds:

A majestic calm horn fanfare (composed by Joy Ngiaw), and they are whoosh and sparkly fairy-dust sounds in this logo. There is a Behind the Scenes video that she posted on her YouTube channel, which you can see here. This can also be heard without sound effects on her website, as "Skydance Animation Studio Logo", here.
Sometimes, such as on future cases, it's the opening theme of the movie or none.
On Blush and Bad Luck Spot!, the opening ambience is heard.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The music was adopted from the soundtrack from Blush.

Availability: Current. First seen on Blush as a prototype. It appeared on the trailer of Luck and the full version appeared on said film. It will appear on future films from the company such as Spellbound, Ray Gunn and Pookoo.
