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. Portal produced CGI films, or those that made heavy use of digital set pieces. A British subsidiary was opened, replacing The Millimeter Station, focusing on drama films. Due to financial issues Portal would close in 2005.

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 (2001-2002)
Logo: We see a blue image slowly fade in on a black background. It would zoom back and brighten, revealing itself to be text reading "PORTAL FILMS". It would then fade to a filmstrip illuminated by a blue haze, with "PORTAL FILMS" written in a bold orange font toward the front.

Trivia: The two separate logos are meant to represent Portal Films' Canadian and British branches respectively.

Variant: As mentioned with the British subsidiary, on films produced solely by that branch only the latter half of this logo plays.

FX/SFX: The text and fade.

Music/Sounds: A synth theme.

Availability: Appeared on Jack the Thumb and Far Darrig. The standalone variant was seen on Five Faded Stars.

Legacy: No standalone version exists for the first half of the logo.

4th Logo (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 Tonka Search and Rescue.
