Cinemation Industries

(January 20, 1971-1974)
Logo: On a background, we see the words "CINEMATION INDUSTRIES" in Cooper Black zooming in slowly. Then a box is drawn, with gaps to make way for "A" above it and "RELEASE" below it: A CINEMATION INDUSTRIES RELEASE

Technique: The zoom in; the drawing.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic fanfare with a loud trumpet and drums. On some films, like I Drink Your Blood, it is the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Extremely rare. Was seen on exploitation films by the company such as Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Fritz the Cat, Johnny Got His Gun, and Mondo Cane. However all of these films have different distributors now, either removing or plastering this logo. Check older VHS releases of those films for this logo. It was spotted on a 1982 Warner Home Video release of Fritz the Cat, as well as a Grindhouse Releasing DVD of I Drink Your Blood and Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray release of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song.
