Jef Films

Background
Jef Films is a bootleg distribution company founded by Jeffrey H. Aikman.

Logo (Late '70s?-Early '80s?)
Visuals: On the black background with the large dark blue stripe with some glimmering sparks all over it, at the near bottom, supposed to represent the sea, and the stripe below it, the representing the sand, there is the large glowing  circle with / shimmering rays, supposed to represent the shining sun. After a few seconds, the camera quickly zooms on the sun, and a sudden cut to the black background with two "JEF FILMS" texts with white rectangle outlines in-between them, encircling the white circle with "Jef" bunched up inside, fading in, while the rainbow ring wipes in clockwise with two rays. Then the logo sparkles, and after few seconds, the ring suddenly disappears and sparkles flies in from the top-right and circles the logo until it stops at the left rectangle outline, then the cut to the black background with the dark blue bar at the very bottom, the dark blue grid rises from the bar and spins to the center, leaving residue trails, then the grid fades out to the word "PRESENTS" in the serif font, colored dark brown with the white outline, at the top of the screen.

Trivia: This is one of the logos that use multiple stock footage from Cascom International's Special Effects Library.

Technique: Camera-controlled animation and probably Scanimate.

Audio: "Coast to Coast" by Ib Glindemann, along with a chime sound that is heard when the sparkles appear.

Availability: Spotted on bootleg releases from the company.
 * This surprisingly turned up on a TV Centre airing of the 1961 film adaptation of Hamlet.
