Alive Films

(January 13, 1984-November 1, 1991)
Logo: On a black background, we see a zoom-out of letters, first an "A" in white, an "L" in black, an "I" in white, "V" in black and "E" in white, then we see a zoom out of the "ALIVE" word, colored as if with colored pencil from blue to yellow. Then it colors fully and the word "FILMS" on a handwriting font zooms-out at the same time as it writes. Then two lines appears under "ALIVE" and under "FILMS".

Variants:
 * A still in-credit variant appears in the opening credits of the Wes Craven film Shocker, The Whales of August, and The People Under the Stairs.
 * On earlier films such as Trouble in Mind, the logo starts out with the word "ALIVE" zooming out. This time the logo is a purple and blue color. The animation is the same as before.

Technique: The zoom-out of the logo.

Music/Sounds: None, but sometimes a new age synth theme was used, or the closing theme of the movie.

Availability: Can be seen on 1987 Charter Entertainment and Nelson Entertainment VHS releases and television prints of Red Headed Stranger and the Nelson Entertainment VHS release of The Moderns.
