Miracle Films

Background

Miracle Films was an adult film production and distribution company founded by Stu Segall (otherwise known for Stu Segall Productions). Through this company, Segall, under the name "Godfrey Daniels", directed and produced the pornographic movie Insatiable, which was the top-selling adult video in the US from 1980 to 1982.

(1980-1984)

Nickname: "If It's a Good Film...It's a Miracle!", "The Unconvincing Logo"

Logo: On a black background, we see "miracle films" in clear with a shiny blue outline, zooming out. After it stops zooming, it fills with blue via a "wiping" effect. Then the text underneath, "IF IT'S A GOOD FILM...IT'S A miracle!" appear in a "wiping" effect for "IF IT'S A GOOD FILM...IT'S A" and a flash effect for "miracle!". "IF IT'S A GOOD FILM...IT'S A" is in Helvetica font, and "miracle" is in the same font as "miracle films".

FX/SFX: The zooming and shining.

Music/Sounds: Starts out with a wind-like sound, then an ominous descending synth, then a series of ascending video game-like sounds when "IF IT'S A GOOD FILM...IT'S A" wipes in, then a synth ping when "miracle!" flashes in, and finally a series of bell-like sounds. Sometimes, the wind chime sounds fade out afterwards.

Availability: Rare. This appeared on Insatiable and Insatiable 2, both starring Marilyn Chambers.

Editor's Note: Not really a miracle of a logo, and it's quite creepy thanks to the music.
