The Rainbow Film Company

Logo descriptions by mr3urious Editions by roz1497

Background: Rainbow Releasing Productions is the film production company of American actor and filmmaker Henry Jaglom, the director of Last Summer in the Hamptons and Festival in Cannes. The company still exists today as "The Rainbow Film Company", and they have a website.

1st Logo (1995, November 3, 2001)
Rainbow Releasing Productions - CLG WikiA Rainbow Picture (2001)

Nicknames: "The Psychopath", "Evil Orson", "Jack Nicholson's Evil Cousin", "The Jesus Christ Man"

Logo: We see a psychotic-looking man with a fixated stare on his face (actually Orson Welles). He holds a small yellow box in his left hand and a small cardboard rainbow in his right hand, which he pulls completely out of the box, as the camera zooms in. When the camera gets close enough, it freezes, and the words "A RAINBOW RELEASE" (in white) slowly appear letter-by-letter in an arc.

Trivia: This was actually sourced from a film called A Safe Place, starring Orson Welles and directed by Henry Jaglom, who is also the owner of this studio. Also, you can see the scene in the trailer for said film, which you can find here.

Variant: On the 2001 film Festival in Cannes, the logo is cropped a bit, and "A RAINBOW RELEASE" is replaced by "A RAINBOW PICTURE". Also the text has finally been put in a fixed position (it fits the rainbow), and it doesn't remain on-screen like the previous logo. It's also noticeably brighter.

FX/SFX: It's mostly live-action, except for the letters appearing.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on the 1995 film Last Summer in the Hamptons, and on the 2001 film Festival in Cannes.

Editor's Note: This logo has scared many, due to the absence of music and the evil looking man in the logo. The text, however, (except for the later version) doesn't fit in the rainbow.
