Logo (1966-1980s)
Visuals: On a cloudy background, a golden seal zooms towards the camera. On a curved banner at the top is "MEDALLION", and under it is "TV". As the seal stops, "Presents", in a script font, writes itself in.
Variant:
- Sometimes "Release" appears instead of "Presents".
- There's black-and-white and color versions of the logo. The color logo still usually precedes B&W movies.
Technique: Motion-controlled animation and cel animation.
Audio: A drum roll, though sometimes it may be silent.
Audio Variant: On The Delta Factor, the music from the Walter Reade Organization logo is played over the logo.
Availability: The company mainly distributed obscure B-movies on TV, but the logo is usually kept intact.
- It appears on The Crawling Hand, The Slime People, Attack of the Animal People, and The Wild Wild World of Batwoman.
- These films were featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000, and the logo is fortunately kept intact on all three.
- It also appears on the old VHS version of the softcore feature The Bellboy and the Playgirls, the directorial debut of Francis Ford Coppola, as well as at the start of each episode of the Drew Cummings documentary series The Making of (one videocassette where this is preserved is the UAV release of an episode on RoboCop).
- Old 16mm television prints of Hondo may also preserve this.
