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.
FXFX/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 on TV;Extinct; seen on pre-1980's syndication prints of feature films from Warner Bros. and United Artists, respectively.
Scare Factor: Minimal; the drum rhythm and cymbals can get to some.
