(Don't worry, it's happened to me before too. I always hate it when the equal signs show up like that.) |

Background
TBA
1st Logo (1969-1972)
Logo: On a blue background, we see on the top the words "DISTRIBUTED BY", being seen in white At the bottom we see a 1961 Time Life print logo with the text "FILMS" in white.
Variant: A black and white version exists.
FX/SFX: None, it's a still logo.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: TBA.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (1972-1978)
Nickname: "The Colour Wheel"
Logo: On a red or orange background, we see on the left the words "DISTRIBUTED BY", being every word on a row. At the left we see a black filmstrip. Over that filmstrip, the words "TIME LIFE" and under it "FILMS" is seen. Under that is camera lens, being every part of its diaphragm on a different color of the rainbow.
FX/SFX: None, it's a still logo.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Extinct. Was seen on some afterschool specials, and episodes of NOVA distributed by this company, but most footage of these programs have been out of circulation for a long time.
Editor's Note: None.
3rd Logo (1978?-1982)
Nicknames: "T-L", "Time-Life", "The Time-Life TV Set", "T-L TV Monitor from/of Hell/Doom"
Logo: A white conjoined, slanted "TL" (with the L connected near the end of the T) zooms into place onto a television-like box with a red screen (any other color is due to film deterioration) in the center, trailing itself as it goes (a la the 1978-81 Filmways logo). Once it reaches the screen, it quickly flashes and merges with the box forming the logo. On the bottom of the screen, the text "A TIME-LIFE FILMS PRODUCTION" appears underneath the logo completing its formation. This time the logo is filmed.
Variants:
- On some movies, a copyright stamp is seen.
- An in-credit variant of this logo exists.
FX/SFX: The "TL" trailing onto the empty shell of the logo and "flashing" into place. Typical Scanimate effects.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Available at the end of some Time-Life produced movies, most notably Fort Apache, the Bronx. Don't expect to see it on the original Vestron Video release, though.
Editor's Note: None.
