A.P. Films (later becoming "Century 21 Productions") was a British independent film production company of the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s founded by husband-and-wife producers Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and cinematographer Arthur Provis (hence its initials "A.P."). The company became world-famous with its imaginative children's action-adventure "Supermarionation" marionette shows - most notably Thunderbirds - produced for British independent broadcasting companies Associated-Rediffusion, Granada, ABC Weekend TV and ATV.
Visuals: In an oval, there is the words "MADE BY" positioned over the letters "APF".
Variants:
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on Supercar and Torchy the Battery Boy.
Visuals: There is the APF oval logo from the last logo, now stretched out at the centre making the logo seem rounder. Above it is "AN", and below it is "TELEVISION PRODUCTION".
Variant: There is a colourised version of this logo, seen on later episodes of the Gerry Anderson show Stingray. In this version, the background is red, the APF oval logo is now gold gradient while the "APF" text is now goldy-brown. Also, the "AN" above, and "TELEVISION PRODUCTION" below texts remains in white.
Technique: A model being pointed at by a camera.
Audio: None, but sometimes it used the show's closing theme.
Availability: Seen on A.P. Films-produced shows of the period (primarily Fireball XL5, Stingray and Supercar).
