Portal Films

Background
Portal Films was a joint venture between Dandy Films and producer Richard Barton Lewis. The venture was launched due to Dandy wanting to qualify for financial support from Canadian tax-incentive programs. A British subsidiary was launched known as Portal Exeter, which succeeded The Millimeter Station. Portal produced films with heavy reliance on special effects, along with CG-animated movies, though late in its life it would outsource work to C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures. Portal would close following multiple flops.

1st Logo (1996)
Logo: On a black background we see a red and white boxed image of the sun, with "PORTAL FILMS" below. The latter half is flipped upside down. This is set next to the logo for Portal Exeter, which is similar to the former, this time having a purple and white color scheme and a crescent moon.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program.

Availability: Extinct. This was seen on the first season of The Storymakers. The season had only aired in certain test markets and was never widely released. Nickelodeon had retooled the show into a basic gameshow, which wound up testing poorly and never got officially greenlit.

2nd Logo (1997)
Logo: On a spinning marble green background we see the white text "PORTAL FILMS" in a bold white font.

FX/SFX: The spinning background.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Appeared on the TV movie She-Hulk.

3rd Logo (2001-2004)
Logo: Against a space background, a comet shoots by, revealing a blue box toward the bottom right corner with "PORTAL FILMS" on top of it.

FX/SFX: The comet.

Music/Sounds: A synth theme.

Availability: Seen on Five Faded Stars, Jack the Thumb, Far Darrig and Tonka Search and Rescue.
