Astor Pictures Corporation

(1947-????)

Nickname: "The Bodybuilder", "The Man with the Logo"

Logo: On a black background, a still frame of a bodybuilder holding the APC logo fades in and zooms up to the distance. The logo consists of 3 rows of words: "ASTOR", "PICTURES" and "CORP.", with a star below the letters, in a triangular frame. We zoom upAstor Pictures Corporation (1940) closer to the letters that the man holds, with "ASTOR" in a 3-D font and the T extended over the rest of the letters.

FX: The zoom-up.

Music/Sounds: A bombastic 16-note fanfare.

Availability: In public domain. Seen on a 1947 re-release of Li'l Abner (1940), which plasters over the RKO logo. You can check those tapes for this logo first.

Scare Factor: Low to high; depending on what you think of the music and man's face.

I thought he took anabolic steroids by the way he's holding the logo.
