The Mirisch Corporation
Logo descriptions by Shadeed A. Kelly
Logo captures by Eric S., Bob Fish, Shadeed A. Kelly, and snelfu
Video captures courtesy of Eric S. and Royger Short
Background: This production company was formed in August 1957 by the Mirisch brothers (Walter, Marvin, and Harold) to produce various sucessful movies joining forces with United Artists, continuing after this company merged to UA in 1963. Also, Mirisch produced various cartoons as a joint venture with DePatie-Freleng Enterprises, such as the legendary Pink Panther, but this company didn't enter TV production until 1961. Today, MGM hands most of the Mirisch movies and TV shows.
1st Logo
(1966-1967)
Nickname: ''M-R''
Logo: On a red-orange background, we see ''M-R'' zooming in and would later zoom back to the center. Next to the ''M-R'' is a box. In the box, is ''A MIRISICH-RICH''. Under it is ''television production''.
FX/SFX: The logo zooming in.
Cheesy Factor: The zooming is choppy and has simple animation.
Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.
Availabilty: Rare. Seen on The Rat Patrol.
Scare Factor: Low to high; the abrupt zooming might scare some people.
2nd Logo
(1967-????)
TBA
3rd Logo
(1980s)
Nickname: ''The Silver M''
Logo: On a blue background, a silver line moves from right to left near the center of the screen. As it shrinks, a large silver outline of a serif M rises up. A bright flash occurs in the center, and the words "MIRISCH FILMS, INC." flash in. The M shines a bit.
FX/SFX: The silver line moving, the M rising up, the flash, and the shine. This is some nice-looking CGI for the time.
Music/Sounds: A somewhat dramatic and sustained two-note synth tune with whooshing and "sparkling" sounds.
Availability: Rare. Seen on Here Comes the Grump on DVD.
Scare Factor: Low; some may be intimidated by the synth music and flash.
4th Logo
(1998-1999)
Logo: On a black shade of teal background, we see the name:
in silver lettering in Cooperplate Gothic Light font with "THE MIRISCH" in a big font and "CORPORATION" in a smaller font below. The is a shining wipe effect.
FX/SFX: The shining wipe effect.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Rare, seen on The Magnificent Seven on Encore Westerns and on DVD.
Scare Factor: None.

That first Mirisch-Rich logo is on the Rat Patrol DVD's and also appears whenever the show is reran (like the most recent run on AmericanLife). Sadly, the MGM logo has plastered over the UA logo in both formats!

I think this should be under United Artists Television, because UA owned the Mirisch Corp. starting in 1963
