Geffen Pictures
Compiled by Thehugetvfan
Logo Capture by Thehugetvfan
Editions by Thehugetvfan, Logophile, CuriousGeorge60 and V of Doom
Background: This was the movie production/distribution arm of Geffen Records established in 1980 by David Geffen with Warner Communications (now TimeWarner) as its subsidiary, closing this in 1998 when Geffen sold the parent company to Universal Studios (now NBC Universal); however, various of the Geffen movies, with the exception of Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (owned by Paramount Pictures), are curently held by Warner Bros. Entertainment.
(1982-1997)
Nicknames: "The Circle-G", "The Geffen G"
Logo: On a black background, a silver sphere appears and slowly moves forward. At the same time, the sphere slowly turns clockwise, revealing a thin, inscribed "G". When the "G" is fully revealed, the sphere stops, and text that reads "A GEFFEN COMPANY RELEASE",
"GEFFEN PICTURES" or "A GEFFEN PICTURES RELEASE" appears under it. A few seconds later, smaller text appears near the bottom of the screen, which says "DISTRIBUTED BY WARNER BROS." on the left side of the WB bug (either the \\' or WB shield) and next to the bug is a WB byline.
Bylines:
Variant: A version has been spotted except instead of the sphere slowly spins clockwise, the finished logo remains intact, but then the sphere zooms down as it fades out. This was seen at the end of Geffen-produced films.
FX: The sphere rotating to the familiar Geffen logo; pretty nice, actually.
Music/Sounds: A light synthesizer tune. However, this logo was silent on most films.
Availability: Appears at the beginning of Geffen-produced films from the 1980s and early '90s, including Beetlejuice, After Hours, and Little Shop of Horrors to name a few. This logo was also seen on Beavis and Butt-Head Do America without the Warner Bros byline.
Scare Factor: None.
