Visuals: It starts with a stylized olive green New York City skyline on a black background, then a light blue gradient background (which is supposed to be the sky) fades in from behind the skyline. Below the skyline, the beige words "CENTRAL PARK" in Gill Sans Bold fly in from the right and the word "MEDIA" in the same font and color spins up from the bottom.
Variants:
- An alternate variant exists where when finished, the logo zooms out to show the logos of U.S. Manga Corps and Anime 18.
- A remastered version exists where the logo begins with a photo of a view of the New York skyline from (what looks like) Central Park, the logo fades over the buildings from the photo, which later disappears. The logo itself also appears to be brighter.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: Crickets chirping for the first half of the logo; then sounds of car horns and a jackhammer.
Audio Variant: The remastered version added additional traffic sounds.
Availability: It made its debut on early prints of Dominion Tank Police: Volume 1, distributed by BMG Video.
- Most releases from CPM had only used either the U.S. Manga Corps or Anime 18 logos.
- The remastered version is currently only known to appear on the 2009 ADV Films re-release of Grave of the Fireflies as a legacy credit.
- The alternate variant was discovered on a screener VHS of Project A-Ko 4: FINAL and was also spotted on Cyber City Oedo 808: DATA ONE.
Final Note
On May 26, 2006, CPM had laid off many of their employees. They laid dormant until April 27, 2009, when they filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and liquidated with a debt of over $1.2 million.
