AGC Studios

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum

AGC Studios is an American film and television production studio. It was founded and launched by Chairman and CEO Stuart Ford in February 2018 as a platform to develop, produce, finance and globally license a diverse portfolio of feature films, scripted, unscripted and factual television, digital and musical content from its dual headquarters in Los Angeles and London and also as a successor to IM Global. The new studio’s Hollywood output has a wide-ranging multicultural focus, designed for exploitation across an array of global platforms including major studio partnerships, streaming platforms, traditional broadcast and cable television networks and independent distributors, both in the U.S. and internationally. AGC Studios is initially backed by three key strategic investors: Latin American private asset management firm MediaNet Partners; Image Nation Abu Dhabi, one of the leading media and entertainment companies in the Arabic-speaking world; and leading Silicon Valley entrepreneur and chairman of Fibonacci Films, Greg Clark. In May 2018, AGC signed a $150 million co-financing deal with Ingenious Media.

Logo (April 4, 2019-)

Visuals: There are various levitating black and red shapes. Then, the camera pans closer to form the red letters "ΛGC". The black shapes merge into one background as the silver word "studios" flies in. A silver line then fades in from the right.

Variants:

  • A short variant exists where it starts when "studios" flies in.
  • On international prints, the word "international" replaces "studios". The animation is also different; on a black background, a line and the word "international" flies in from the sides of the screen, as "ΛGC" fades in above.
    • On John Lewis: Good Tribute, it's the same as the international version, but with "studios" instead of "international".
  • On Midway, the international variant of the logo has an old film effect.
  • On trailers for Voyagers, the logo is surrounded by sperm cells and shakes wildly on a cyan background, like the Lionsgate logo.
  • A still version was seen at the end of Queenpins.
  • On international prints of Moonfall, the logo is in B&W static and alternates between the opening of the movie, which is the Apollo 11's launch in the same affect as the other opening logos.
  • On TV shows, "television" replaces "studios".

Technique: CGI. 2D animation for the international variant.

Audio: A three-note clarinet/string/cymbal tune composed by Michael Paquette, none, or the opening theme of the movie.
