(1961-1967)
Woolner Brothers Present

Logo: On a black background we see a flame. WOOLNERBROTHERS PRESENTfades in on the right side and a pink Greek column fades in on the left. The flame remains on the top of the W in Woolner.

Trivia: The logo first appeared on the American release of the Italian movie Hercules and the Captive Women (1961).

Variant:
  • On Hercules and the Captive Women the logo is part of the opening credits. The camera zooms in on the top of the column, and the titles appear above it.
  • There is a widescreen version on Lightning Bolt (1966) where the logo is stretched to fill the screen.

FX/SFX: The flame and the fading.

Music/Sounds: Either the opening theme of Hercules and the Captive Women (often very crudely edited) or a different fanfare.

Availability: Very Rare. Appears on full screen public domain releases of Hercules and the Captive Women. Also appears on The Human Duplicators and Lightning Bolt. On the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of Hercules and the Captive Women and The Human Duplicators, the logo is retained.

Editor's Note: None.
