'''Visuals:''' |
'''Visuals:''' On a blue bumpy background is a yellow and 3D version of the "a.a.p." logo from before. The camera backs away a bit, and then the words "associated artists productions" and "presents" appear (with "presents" in script), along with Popeye's head, Olive Oyl and Popeye. Some copyright info for King Features Syndicate is shown at the bottom left. |

'''Closing Title:''' Exclusive to ''Popeye'' cartoons, the closing title is the same as the first, except the placement of the company's name is different (it appears on two lines at the left of the "p's" stem). |

On 1937 cartoons such as "Uncle Tom's Bungalow" and "Streamlined Greta Green", the original music then resumes where it had been spliced. This weird edit also occurred on 1934's "Pop Goes Your Heart" for reasons unknown. |

The ending logo uses the closing cue to the 1948 Popeye cartoon "Olive Oyl for President" (note they usually cut the "wah-wah" ending heard on said short) |

Visuals: The initials "a.a.p." appear in lowercase, with the "p" having a very long stem and the stems for all the letters are in a different color than the rest of the logo. There's also a light on the letters, but only on the B&W version. Alongside the "p's" stem are the words "ASSOCIATED ARTISTS PRODUCTIONS INC.", and below all that is the word "Presents", written in cursive.
Closing Title: At the end of a short, the logo appears with the following message above it: "This picture has been presented by". Also, the full name of the company appears horizontally under the initials, with a space where the "p's" stem is. Again, there's a light on the letters on the B&W version.
Technique: None.
Audio: The beginning or end of the music in whatever short has the logo.
Availability: Can still be seen on the colorized Fleischer Popeye shorts when aired on Boomerang.
