(1936-1940)

Nickname: "The Mansion"
Selznick International Pictures - CLG WikiSelznick International Pictures - CLG WikiSelznick International Pictures (1937) RARE!!!
Logo: We see a pale pink-colored sign against a partly cloudy sky that reads

A
SELZNICK INTERNATIONAL
PICTURE

There are also shadows of trees rustling in the wind that are cast onto the sign. A few seconds later, the camera pans downward to reveal the exterior shot of a mansion, which was the Selznick Studio.

Variants:
  • There is a black-and-white variant of this logo in which the sign reads "THE SELZNICK STUDIO" or "A SELZNICK RELEASE" instead.
  • "Made for Each Other" had this logo in reverse, but has "IN A TRADITION OF QUALITY" over the mansion.
  • There's a rare different version of this logo seen on The Prisoner of Zenda and A Star is Born in which the sign reads "SELZNICK INTERNATIONAL PICTURES INCORPORATED" instead; this version is on the DVD of the film.

FX: It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds: A fanfare composed by Alfred Newman (the same composer as the 20th Century Fox fanfare). It starts off with an eight-note church bell tune, which is followed by a triumphant seven-note brass fanfare.

Availability: Uncommon; the color variant can be found on Gone With the Wind, A Star is Born, and Nothing Scared, while the more common B&W variant can be found on such Selznick-produced films like Little Lord Fauntleroy, Rebecca, and The Prisoner of Zenda.

Scare Factor: None whatsoever. This logo has a pleasant setting and a great fanfare, perhaps one of the best logo fanfares of all time.
