1st Logo (1982-May 11, 1996)
Nickname: "The Signature"

Logo: Same as the Samuel Goldwyn "Signature" logo, but "SAMUEL GOLDWYN TELEVISION" flies in underneath the logo instead.

Variants:
 * On earlier season 1 episodes of American Gladiators, it has the show's logo on top and below it says "HAS BEEN PRESENTED BY" with Samuel Goldwyn Jr.'s signature and line and below, and it is referred to as "THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN COMPANY".
 * On Gladiators 2000 and 1993-1996 seasons of American Gladiators, there is a variant that has the phrase "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" above the logo. The writing animation also has a slower/choppier effect to it, and like the above variant it is referred to as "THE SAMUEL GOLDWYN COMPANY".

Technique: Same as the Samuel Goldwyn "Signature" logo. For the American Gladiators variant, none.

Music/Sounds: None or the end of the show's closing theme music.

Availability: Uncommon.
 * This notably appeared on the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of Escape from the Bronx (Escape 2000) when the lead characters enter the theater.
 * This also appeared on 1980s syndication prints of the original Flipper (plastering over the MGM Television logo) and The Mothers-In-Law. However, on Me-TV reruns of the latter series, it's no longer seen on there.
 * The animated version appeared on Gladiators 2000.
 * This also appeared on an airing of Hans Christian Andersen on TNT in 1993.
 * The still version only appears on early S1 and 1993-1996 episodes of American Gladiators occasionally on Charge! and Pluto TV.
 * It also showed up on a Laserdisc release and a January 23, 1996 AMC airing of the 1941 movie Ball of Fire, which might have been an editing error.
 * Makes an appearance on the 1995 Pioneer Special Edition Laserdisc of The Hurricane proceeding the 1993-2005 HBO Home Video logo.
