Alan Enterprises, Inc. was a TV syndicator founded in 1970 by distributor Alan Gleitsman. Its film and TV library was acquired from the now-defunct television division of Trans-Lux. In 1986, Gleitsman sold Alan Enterprises to Color Systems Technology, and used the proceeds from that sale to launch his philanthropy work but in 1989 as a result of the crash in the colorization market they sold the library to Broadway Video. In 1997 Golden Books Family Entertainment acquired the family entertainment library along with the Alan Enterprises library from Broadway Video.
Visuals: On a blue background, the words "A PRESENTATION OF" are seen in the center of the screen in yellow Helvetica lettering; they fade out 3 seconds later. Then, an abstract "ae" (looking similar to a Danish/Norwegian letter) appears/shimmers in abstract lettering. It zooms out, revealing "alan enterprises" in a sans-serif font of the same color as the "ae". Finally, a filmstrip going from the bottom to the top (except the two lines above and underneath the logo) appears via a flash.
Variant: There is also a black & white version.
Technique: This was animated on a Scanimate or a similar analog effects system; the keying noise around the graphics' edges and the "poofy" flash (which looks a lot like Scanimate's motion blur effect) are what give it away.
Audio: A '70s disco stinger during the formation of the logo. This is actually a piece of stock music, as it was also heard near the end of this 1981 Image West reel for Veronica Broadcasting.
Availability:
Legacy: An interesting logo for its time that puts Scanimation to good use.
