Apple Films (UK)
Logo descriptions by LongLiveRock, Hoa, & bigladiesman
Logo captures by Newave
Background: Created in the late 1960s as part of The Beatles' failed Apple Corps, this company only released four films. Apple Corps still exists, primarily to oversee control and licensing of Beatles-related assets and the Apple Records back catalog.
(1968-1970s)
Nicknames: "Special Apple", "Hand-Drawn Apple", "The Fab Four Logo", "The Yoko Ono Logo"
Logo: On a moving space background (which even shows a nebula), a hand drawn-looking red apple (unlike the Apple Corps Ltd. logo, which is green) moves in from the right while rotating and places itself on the left of the screen. It stays there while rotating for about five seconds until it starts peeling. The part being peeled forms a spiral which ends forming the words "films" in a handwritten font (it also has a filmstrip pattern applied to it). The peeled part of the apple shows the words "AN APPLE". Overall, we get the phrase "AN APPLE film".
FX/SFX: All the 2D animation...
Cheesy Factor: ... Which just screams late '60s. The design is overly psychedelic, the animation is choppy, and the space moving looks like it's been made using poorly done stop-motion.
Music/Sounds: We start with some electronic computer/space-like sounds, then when the apple starts moving in, a rocking, state-of-the-art electric guitar & percussion-driven tune is heard. When the apple is peeling itself, we hear a "WHOOSH"-like sound fading in until it completely muffles the guitar tune, and gets louder over the finished logo. Finally we hear the electronic sounds again.
Availabilty: Can be seen on the DVD releases on their 1970s films Born to Boogie, Concert for Bangladesh, and Son of Dracula.
Scare Factor: High, bordering on nightmare for those who see it for the first time. The general cheesiness of the logo (I think that was made on purpose, though) and the loud electronic sounds are likely to scare many unaware viewers (was it another of John's pranks to unnerve his fans? :P). The guitar tune is very nice, though.

I remember seeing an Apple Corps. logo on my uncle's box set of the Beatles Anthology DVDs'. It had the normal Apple logo (the green one) zooming in (unlike the V of Doom, thankfully) and text reading "Apple".
