Background: This logo was used in the 50's and 60's on syndicated TV prints of pre-1950 Paramount cartoons.

Nickname: "The Filmreel"


Logo: Three frames of film are in a row, with the letters "NTA" individually placed inside the frames. Behind the frames is a reel of film, with a portion of the film out of the reel and curling down the screen. Also there are wavy lines as a background. The words "National Telefilm Associates, Inc" are in all capital letters, with the N, T, and A, in larger letters.

Variants:
  • Sometimes, especially at the end of any cartoon, the same logo described above would appear, except this time, there was a copyright info followed by the year that the cartoon was made, and the words "BY U.M.&M. TV CORP.".
  • For Betty Boop cartoons there is a black and white version with the titles "An" and "Release" in italics.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The opening and closing themes of the cartoon.

Availability: Most of the Paramount non-Popeye cartoons have this logo present. A bit more common than U.M.&M., this logo is on numerous public domain cartoon videos. However, if Paramount, which owns these cartoons, starts restoring the titles, look for these two logos to disappear.

Scare Factor: None to minimal; the scratchy prints may bother some people.
