Logo descriptions and captures by Logophile

1st Logo (1968-1969, 1972)

Sagittarius Productions (1968)Sagittarius Productions (1969) Sagittarius Productions (1972)

Nickname: "The Centaur Bowman"

Logo: On an ivory background is a red stylized drawing of the astrology sign Sagittarius (a centaur aiming a bow and arrow). After a moment the word "SAGITTARIUS" zooms in towards the middle. After a moment "PRESENTS" or "PRESENTATION" zooms in below the former word and is smaller as well. The words disappear after a moment before the logo fades out.

Variant: An in-credit version exists without the zooming text.

FX/SFX: The words zooming in.

Music/Sounds: A tune played on a bass guitar, with the beginning played a little fast as "SAGITTARIUS" appears, then it turns into seven strums which sounds like something from a murder mystery with the last note echoing a bit as the logo fades out.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Mission Mars and The Candy Man (1969 film starring George Sanders). The in-credit version appears on Innocent Bystanders.

Editor's Note: None,
