Nickname: "EMI Block"

Logo: As the closing credits finish, the credit ''A ROGER GIMBEL PRODUCTION FOR'' appears on the screen in a rounded blocky font, arranged in a semi-circular
stack seen like this:

A
ROGER
GIMBEL
PRODUCTION
FOR

"A" and "FOR" appear in smaller print, while Gimbel's name appears in larger pr
int. Then this fades and the EMI logo appears just like its British theatrical counterpart except that here the phrase "EMI TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS, INC." is seen under the logo. Both the Gimbel credit and EMI logo are superimposed over the end-credit montage.

Variants:
  • Other variant of this logo uses the phrase "TELEVISION PROGRAMS, INC." below it.
  • Also may referred as "EMI Films Limited".
  • The opening version is set on a blue background, with the phrase "EMI FILMS LIMITED PRESENTS A ROGER GIMBEL PRODUCTION", with "EMI" inside a rectangle.

FX/SFX: The same animation as the EMI Film Distributors logo.


Cheesy Factor: Gimbel's credit popping onto the screen in that big font.


Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the movie.


Availability: Rare; retained intact on its productions where aired (often followed mainly by the Viacom "V of Doom" logo on most still-circulating prints).
Among the notable TV movies it produced such as Dead Man's Curve, Deathmoon, The Legend of Walks Far Woman and The Killing of Randy Webster among others.

Scare Factor: Minimal to medium because of the Gimbel credit appearing in very large letters for the first part and the EMI logo animation in the second. The large font seen on-screen may startle some but familiarity with EMI's logo from record labels (i.e. EMI America) and the back of Capitol Records' album covers tempers this quite a bit.
