Logo: On a black or blue screen, the Abstract Torch of Columbia Pictures, the rectangular EMI logo, and the Warner Bros. Big W/Worms logo all appear/zoom in from left to right in quick succession; each one has an ownership byline for that company (Columbia's is "A Columbia Pictures Company"; EMI's is "A member of the EMI group"; and Warner's is "A Warner Communications Company"). After all three appear, the words "Columbia-EMI-Warner Distributors" fade in above, and "Presents" fades in below (both at the same time); the logo then fades out.
FX/SFX: The zoom-ins.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen on titles from EMI, Warner and Columbia released in the UK at that time. Also seen on British prints of Tri-Star Pictures titles released during that period.
