Charon Communications

Background: Charon Communications was a media company based in Yorkshire, founded in 1975 by Brian Grispon, Elliot Corning, Vic Dolan, Stanley Tenner, Owen Emerson and Carter Galliard. The company owned and managed Red's Tapes and The Corning/Emerson Group, and helped to oversee international business deals and provide financing. In 2004, the company filed for bankruptcy after SEGA sued them for distributing an unauthorized Sonic the Hedgehog movie. This proved to be fatal to its subsidiaries as they soon became bankrupt as well.

(1978-2003)

Logo: On a black background, we see a blue haze. The haze bends and forms into a spherical shape (resembling an abstract "C"). The "C" moves to the left and starry lines form on the top and bottom sides of the "C". The chrome text "CHARON" appears letter by letter within the rays.

FX/SFX: The whooshes and letters

Music/Sounds: An ominous synth rock tune with a proud beat when the lines appear. Flute notes are heard when the letters appear down.

Availability: Was originally seen when you activate a Charon cable box for the first time. The logo was last seen on the English dub of Sonic Adventure Chaos Complex.
