Embassy Pictures (1942-1967)

(May 28, 1961-December 21, 1967)


Logo: On a black background, a spotlight is shining on the middle of the screen, and a huge black, lower-case "e" is on it. Inside the "e" are the words "AN EMBASSY PICTURES RELEASE", with the "EMBASSY PICTURES" in white in the middle, centered, and the "AN" and "RELEASE" both in black above it. All the words are in a broad font.

Variants:
 * A black & white variant has been spotted.
 * There are some in-credit variants.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. It's seen on some American-distributed Italian movies (most of which are in public domain) and The Graduate. While the next logo below plastered this logo on most pre-1998 prints of the latter (while the 1978 Magnetic Video VHS release plasters this with the Avco Embassy Television logo). It has been restored on current prints of The Graduate, beginning with the 1997 StudioCanal/Carolco Pictures (through Strand Releasing and Rialto Pictures) theatrical release and 1998 PolyGram Video VHS release, along with the MGM Home Entertainment DVD and Blu-ray releases and current television airings.
