Logo descriptions by Kris Starring

(1968-1975)
Nicknames: "The Spinning C", "Rainbow C"
Logo: In the center of a black screen, we see some multicolored layers in an arc wiping onto the screen and spinning around. As this happens, a thick blue arc fitted with the layers wipes on forming a "C" shaped logo. The logo zooms out to the left and stops spinning. Finally, the words "CINERAMA RELEASING CORPORATION" zoom up within the opening of the C, and spread outside towards the right. The word "FROM" fades in to the left of the C.
Variant: There is a variation of this logo where the words in a thicker font and are italicized. Another is that the ''FROM'' is moved from the left of the C. Below it is ''CINERAMA RELEASING''.
FX: It's all cel animation, like most other logos of the era.
Cheesy Factor: The colors are gawdy, and the animation of the words are very tacky.
Music/Sounds: A bombastic brass fanfare. In other cases, it's silent.
Availability: A pretty tough find; assumed to still be on ABC Pictures International films, such as Too Late The Hero. However, it was still intact on a VHS of the 1969 Woody Allen comedy Take The Money And Run.
Scare Factor: Medium to high; the black background, gawdy colors, and the presence of a sudden, bombastic brass score may get to more than a few.
