American Zoetrope/Zoetrope Studios
Logo description by mr3urious
1st Logo
(1971-1979)
Logo: Against a black BG, we see the text
Below that is a lowercase A colored red, white, and blue, and to the left of it is a zoetrope (a cylinder with images displayed inside that, when the outside is spun, gives the pictures the appearance that they are being animated when viewed through the slits at the top) colored in the same way. "PRODUCTION" is below that.
Variant: On at least one film, we see parts of the zoetrope slide all across the screen until finally ending with the finished product.
FX: None, aside from the variant.
Music/Sounds: None, or the opening of the movie.
Availability: Seen on American Zoetrope films from the time, and was first seen on THX 1138.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1979-1990)
Logo: On a red background, we see a red spotlight. Then the words "ZOETROPE STUDIOS", with the second S as a backwards Z, fades in.
FX: The fade in.
Cheesy Factor: What's with the fade in?
Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st logo.
.
Availability: Seen on 1979-1990 American Zoetrope films from the time.
Scare Factor: None.
3rd Logo
(1990- )
Logo: We see a performer (with hat) dancing in the middle. Suddenly, we zoom out and the video appears to be on a spinning zoetrope. The words "AMERICAN ZOETROPE" with "PICTURES" below spins in an angle (ala the 1990 and 1997 Universal logos).
FX: The zoom out, the words spinning.
Cheesy Factor: Marvelous animation.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st and 2nd logos.
Availability: Seen on American Zoetrope films. I believe it is still in use today.
Scare Factor: None.
