Background

Arrow Films was a company run by the sons of Anthony Periano of the infamous Periano crime family. The company came to an end following the conviction of the founders.

Logo (November 19, 1971?-1991?)

Visuals:

Opening: On a moving space background, there is a red "ARROW" word coast down from the top of the screen to the center. "Presents" in a red script font flashes in below as a white copyright notice appears below. Everything stays on screen for eleven seconds before disappearing.
Closing: On a moving space background, a yellow triangle scrolls up and zooms in the bottom of the screen before two more triangles also zoom in below its two bottom corners, forming a stack similar to the crest of Japan's Hōjō clan or the Triforce from the Legend of Zelda franchise. The triangles then zoom out slightly to place themselves at the center of the screen before a flash emerges from the center of the stack, revealing "THE END" as a registered trademark sign and copyright appears below.

Technique: 2D ce animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the movie. A "WHOOSH" can be heard in the closing variant, which cuts out at the point the text flashes in.

Availability: The opening variant is only known to have been seen on Deep Throat II, while the closing variant at least appeared on Lollipop Palace.
