SFM Entertainment

Background
SFM Entertainment, LLC (formerly known as "SFM Media Service Corporation" and "SFM Media Corporation") is a television syndication company established on September 29, 1969 by Walter Staab, Robert Frank, and Stanley Moger (hence the initials of the company). SFM didn't use a logo until 1977.

Logo (January 17, 1977-December 21, 2000)
Visuals: On a black background are white outlines to the letters "sfM" (in Optima medium font) Each letter is then filled with a rainbow pattern of colors. All but the "M" are filled from the top. The "M" is filled starting at its left.

Variants:
 * The original version had the text "AN SFM MEDIA SERVICE CORPORATION PRESENTATION" fading-in below. This was seen on 1977-1978 prints of The New Mickey Mouse Club.
 * A black and white version exists.
 * Since 1998 onward, the word "ENTERTAINMENT" appears under the SFM logo. Sometimes, a copyright stamp is also seen below.
 * Two main variants of the 1978 version exist. One is a filmed version and the other is a videotaped version.
 * A shortened and sped-up version also exists that only shows the rainbow filling the letters.
 * Another version had the SFM logo shifted downwards and featured the words "Distributed by" above it.
 * An in-credit variant can be seen in the 1982 game show pilot The Origins Game.
 * On Just the Facts: A Dragnet Case File, there is a Universal Studios copyright stamp.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio/Voice-over: A series of Morse code beeps typing out "SFM" in Morse code four times. Sometimes, the voice of SFM co-founder Stanley K. Moger was heard saying various announcements; these are seen below:
 * 1977-1978: None.
 * 1978-1980: The announcer's spiel was "An SFM Media Service Corporation Television Presentation".
 * 1980-1998: The announcer's spiel was "Distributed by the SFM Entertainment Division of SFM Media Corporation", and the Morse code beeps were lower-pitched.
 * 1998-2000: Just the beeping sound.

Audio/Voice-over Variants:
 * On some shows such as Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, it has a theme consisting of seven dreamy synthesized notes. This was composed by Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors composers Haim Saban and Shuki Levy, around eight years before Power Rangers came along.
