Note: This page is about Associated Artists Productions used on cartoon re-releases. For the description for live-action re-releases, click here.
Logo: 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.
Music/Sounds: 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.
Logo: Kind of a more three-dimensional look compared to the first. The blue, red, or gray background has a bumpy look to it, and the logo itself (which is basically the same as the previous logo) is yellow and 3D. In the opening, the initials back 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: 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).
Variants:
Technique: Live-action camera and fading effects.
Music/Sounds: One of the 1943-1948 Popeye intro themes (Longer cut of "The Sailor's Hornpipe" followed by "Popeye the Sailor Man" version common for this era). The ending logo is used for the Popeye shorts only and the music is lifted from the closing cue to the 1948 Popeye cartoon "Olive Oyl for President" (note they usually cut the "wah-wah" ending heard on said short)
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Restoration of Popeye and WB cartoons mean less sightings of this logo.
