August Entertainment

(1987-2004)
Logo: From a side view, we can see layers of frames with a light beaming through them. The camera moves to straight view, and only one frame is seen, which has a carved a letter on it, and three "filmstrip-side" dots. The word AUGUST zooms in below, as we move, and then ENTERTAINMENT appears with the separation line.

Variants:

FX/SFX: The moving light on the background, the drawing separation line.
 * An early version was in black and white and still.
 * An earlier version exists where the logo is black on a white background.

Music/Sounds: A synth composition with chime bells.

Music/Sounds Variant: On select overseas prints of Only the Strong, the 1981 20th Century Fox fanfare is heard due to sloppy plastering. Other foreign prints use the normal fanfare.

Availability: Rare. Can be seen on Sleep With Me, Necronomicon: Book of the Dead, Red Scorpion 2 (Alliance Atlantis VHS only, as the MCA/Universal VHS uses the SGE Entertainment logo instead), Crying Freeman, and Habitat. It was reportedly seen on overseas prints of Only the Strong, The Lawnmower Man, and Lawnmower Man II: Beyond Cyberspace. The still version is seen on earlier released movies such as Where Sleeping Dogs Lie. The white background version was seen on a Canadian VHS release of Nukie (the US release by Vidmark omits it, despite having the print logo on the back cover), the 2001 MGM VHS of The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, the Japanese VHS of Halloween (1978), and Spirit of the Eagle (Don't expect it on DVDs of the latter film).

Editor's Note: None.
