Logos[]
1st logo (February 23 - August 3, 2000)[]
There is a skyline of Sydney, Australia, with the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. There are grey clouds in the background, and a river beneath. A helicopter flies to the left of the city. Suddenly, a bright flash occurs and covers the whole screen. When the flash dims out, a mushroom cloud explosion destroys all of the city including the landmarks. Once the city is destroyed, the letter "M" zooms in quickly, and other letters zoom in quickly and form the text "MUSHROOMPICTURES", with "MUSHROOM" in solid white and "PICTURES" in black with surrounding white outlines on each letter. The scene briefly fades to footage of a nuclear explosion at night and cuts to a rapid montage of images (most of them are psychedelic):
- A rainbow-colored fractal spiral
- An orange, blue and pink fractal arc
- A fractal spiral with the shades of blue
- A weird-looking black and red shape
- A radially-blurred image of the yellow dandelion
- Rainbow fractal circles over the blue background
- A red and yellow background
- The same fractal spiral with the shades of blue
- A different orange, blue and pink fractal arc
- An orange, green, and blue triangle background
- A rotating starry background with a big star in the middle
- A radially-blurred image of a rose
- And radially-blurred footage of a blinking eye
The eye then zooms into the screen quickly, leaving the text "MUSHROOMPICTURES" on a black background.
2nd logo (January 24, 2005)[]
On a snow covered space background, we see an aurora moving around. A few seconds later, the text "MUSHROOM PICTURES" fades in with a blurry effect, like it's emerged from the aurora.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
After we hear a helicopter sound, an abridged version of the suspenseful fanfare "Breakout No. 9" by Jack Trombey from the De Wolfe Music library (also used in Golden Princess Amusement's logo) is heard combined with explosions and whooshes.
2nd logo[]
A bizarre synth tune with distorted buzzing. The extended version includes a series of synth chimes and a cat's purr at the end.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
Medium to nightmare. All of these strange actions going on and the disturbing subject matter can definitely scare more than a few people, although the overall outright cheapness of the logo can tone down the scare factor for some.
2nd logo[]
Low, as the odd noises might get you, if caught off-guard. This one is a calming logo however, and is far tamer (and better) than the 1st one.
