Above and below the names "DEVILLIER•DONEGAN" are a total of four thick red lines, two for each name. Another red line underlines the word "ENTERPRISES".

FX/SFX: None

Music/Sounds: None

Availability: Ultra rare. Was seen on U.S. television releases of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

2nd Logo (1980s)

Logo: On a deep blue gradient background, we see the the following text unfold into view:

A DEVILLIER·DONEGAN ENTERPRISES Release

Similar to the design of the previous logo, four lines are present both above and below "DEVILLIER·DONEGAN", along with another line below "ENTERPRISES". The text shine from left to right as the background darkens before the logo fades to black.
