1st Logo
(1978-1981)
Nickname: "Constellation"
Logo: Set against a starry space BG, we see a bright star emit a beam of light to wipe in the words "FILMWAYS PICTURES, INC." in a curvy orange font. The star disappears, and after a while, the words zoom up and slide away.
FX/SFX: The space background, the star wiping in the company name...
Cheesy Factor: ...which look fairly cheesy.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare; seen on The High Cost of Living.
Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo
(1981-1983)
Nickname: "Abstract F"
Logo: Mainly an extended version of the Filmways Television 1981-1983 logo and the text says "FILMWAYS PICTURES" instead.
FX/SFX: Same as the Filmways Television 1981-1983 logo.
Music/Sounds: None, or the opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Ultra rare; can be seen on the Warner Home Video release of Death Wish II. Also seen on the MGM VHS and recent TMC prints of Full Moon High, and the 3-D movie Comin' At Ya! from Rhino Home Video, where the logo is unfortunately only in 2-D.
Scare Factor: None.
