Background

Selmur Productions was founded in 1961 by Selig J. Seligman as a production subdivision of ABC Films, the former syndication division of the ABC Television Network. Today, Paramount Global through CBS Media Ventures and Spelling Television Inc. (who bought ABC Films' successor, Worldvision Enterprises, in 1989) owns the North American syndication rights to most of the Selmur library; ABC retained the copyrights, and Disney Home Media Distribution handles the international rights and US video rights (which were sublicensed to Image Entertainment for Combat!).

Visuals: On the closing credits, there is a large, horizontally-designed "S". The text:

PRODUCED BY
SELMUR
PRODUCTIONS
INC.

"SELMUR" and "PRODUCTIONS" appear inside the letter. The entire text is in the same font as the "S".

Variants:

• On the first season of Combat!, before the opening, a pre-open would be shown, and the Selmur logo appears during the pre-open. The announcer would say, "Combat! A Selmur Production!".
• On 1963-1967 episodes of General Hospital, the logo scrolls in the credits and does not feature "PRODUCED BY" at the top nor "INC." on the bottom.

Technique: A superimposed graphic made using traditional ink and paint.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: It was seen on Combat!, Shindig!, 1963-1967 episodes of General Hospital, and Garrison's Gorillas.
