1st Logo (July 4, 1961-March 6, 1970)
Visuals: On a space background, there is a globe rotating, then from the right comes a line of red tickets, then the screen fades on a big red ticket. The words "BOXOFFICE INTERNATIONAL PICTURES" appears on Futura font. Then, lights are shown bordering the ticket and changing.
Variants:
- The globe would be rotating over the ticket once shown.
- The word "PRESENTS" would be shown below sometimes.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: Silent or the opening theme of the movie.
Availability: Seen on Box Office's releases from the period.
2nd Logo (December 2, 1970-January 19, 1977)
Visuals: On a black background is a blue globe and at the right of it, there are the words "BOXOFFICE INTERNATIONAL PICTURES, INC.". Those objects zoom out continually and the letters also change colors. At the end, the text fades and we see "A Harry Novak Presentation", with "Harry Novak" as a script font. At the very end of the logo, the globe fades out, and the screen zooms over the "A Harry Novak Presentation" title.
Technique: Analog computer animation.
Audio: An epic trumpet fanfare.
Availability: The best way to find this logo is on video releases of their films put out by U.S.A. Home Video and Monterey Home Video, such as Rattlers. This was also seen on the Magnum Entertainment release of Dr. Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks.
