Background: Associated Artists Productions (a.a.p.) was a distributor of theatrical feature films and short subjects for television founded in 1953 and headed by Eliot Hyman (who also founded Seven Arts Productions in with co-founder Ray Stark in 1957). The company was acquired by United Artists in 1958 and merged to United Artists Television, although the distribution arm was reincorporated as United Artists Associated , but would be renamed United Artists Television Distribution in 1968. The library was incorporated into the merger of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and United Artists in 1981, until Turner Entertainment took over the library in 1986 after the short-lived acquisition of MGM/UA by Ted Turner, and today, Warner Bros. Entertainment handles the AAP library.
(1955-1959)
Nickname: "The Atom"
Logo: Over a black background, the logo starts with a single white electron orbiting around. At the sound of a percussion riff, the electron becomes a lowercase "a." Another electron starts to orbit. It then becomes another "a." A third electron begins to orbit. That becomes a lowercase "p." The letters "aap" zoom up behind the spinning atom, as the words "Associated Artists Productions" below the "A's" and "presents" below the "P" fades-in below. The atom zooms-out.
Variant: A Canadian unit, United Telefilms Limited, also adapted the generic logo animation for its logo as well. The finished product was the capitalized "UTL" with "Distributed in Canada by United Telefims Limited" below that.
FX/SFX: The animation of the atom and appearances of the letters.
Music/Sounds: A rhythmic drum section is heard throughout the logo, with three corresponding cymbal crashes each accompanying the appearance of the three initials in A.A.P.
Availability: Extinct; seen on pre-1980s syndication prints of feature films from Warner Bros. and United Artists, respectively.
Scare Factor: Minimal; the drum rhythm and cymbals can get to some.
