Background: Sigma III Corporation was an independent film distributor that was owned at one time by Filmways. It closed down sometime in the early to mid 1970s.


(1968-1970)

Nicknames: "Sigma III", "The Splitting Arrow"

Logo: On a black background, we see three blue rectangles appearing one by one, forming a roman numeral "III". A red arrow slides and moves over the "III", then two arrow pieces split, and move the bottom arrow piece to the top, forming an uppercase sigma "Sigma;" symbol. The words:

A SIGMA 3
CORPORATION
PRESENTATION

fades in below, with "A SIGMA 3" in big and the rest of the letters in small.

Early Variant: On Greetings, the text fades in below the logo instead:

SIGMA III
CORPORATION
A FILMWAYS COMPANY
presents

"SIGMA III" is bigger, and the rest of the letters in smaller, with "A FILMWAYS COMPANY" in a condescended font.

FX/SFX: The rectangles moving, the arrow sliding and splitting, the text fading in.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Seen on films Sigma III Corporation distributed. It was kept intact on Greetings (1968) and Hi Mom (1970).

Editor's Note: None.
