Intercontinental Releasing Corporation

1st Logo (1970s)
Visuals: On a blue background, the names "Sandy Cobe" and "David Baughn" (in lowercase) zoom in at the top of the screen, while "present" appears below. The screen cuts to the text "An Intercontinental Film Release" (also in lowercase) on the upper left while a world map atop a blank rectangle appears on the bottom right. The logo holds before fading out.

Technique: The names sliding in.

Audio: A golden-age cartoon-like fanfare, then an extended drum beat followed by a gong.

Availability: Seen only on IRC releases from the 1970s, and there is no guarantee it will be preserved on current prints.

2nd Logo (1980s)
Visuals: On a blue background, there are the letters "I", "R", and "C" drawn with white lines on a fancy style. Avobe the letters, there is a representation of the Earth with lines. Then, the phrase "INTERCONTINENTAL RELEASING CORPORATION" in white colour appears under the logo. A few seconds after, "PRESENTS" fades in.

Variants:
 * The logo would be set on a black background with yellow lines
 * There is also a variant on which the text is seen over the logo, not under it.

Technique: None, just the things fading on this logo.

Audio: None.

Availability: It was seen on B-movies from the early 80s. The best source for this logo is the early Media Home Entertainment releases of their films.

3rd Logo (Late 1980s)


Visuals: On a black background, there is a globe made out of a filmstrip, with the "TM" symbol below the globe to the right. Then the words

INTERCONTINENTAL RELEASING CORPORATION PRESENTS

fade in below the globe.

Technique: The fading in of the globe and words.

Audio: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Seen on a VHS of Open House.

4th Logo (1990s)


Visuals: On a black background, there is the globe from before, with the text below: serif The logo then shines once.

Technique: Shining effects.

Audio: None.

Availability: So far, seen on KID. It is unknown if this (or the 3rd logo) can be seen on international prints of Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor or Becoming Colette, among others; Trimark and Castle Hill distributed those two respective films domestically.
