(1968-1970)
Nicknames: "ΣIII", "The Splitting Arrow"

Logo: On a black background, we see three rectangles appearing one by one, forming a Roman numeral "III". A red arrow slides and moves over the "III", then two arrow pieces split, and move the bottom arrow piece to the top, forming an uppercase sigma (Σ) symbol. The words:

A SIGMA 3

CORPORATION

"SIGMA III" is bigger, and the rest of the letters are smaller, with "A FILMWAYS COMPANY" in a condescended font.
