Background
Palisades Entertainment (formerly Cinema Group Pictures) was founded by William J. Immerman in the late 1970s. It bought home video distributor Continental Video in 1985. It was later absorbed into Overseas FilmGroup. In 1987, Andre Blay and Elliott Kastner later joined the company for a brief period of time and rebranded to Palisades Entertainment in December of that year. The company sold off its distribution business in 1988.
Cinema Group Pictures
1st Logo (1979?-1987)
Logo: On a black background, we see the words, "a presentation of". The words then fade out. Then four light blue streaks steak across to the center of the screen, forming an abstract "C", and the words "Cinema Group" below the "C". Then the logo and words streak toward and away from the screen.
Variant: On some films, "a presentation of" is not shown.
FX/SFX: The fading in/out of the words "a presentation of', streaking of the logo and words, all done in early computer animation.
Music/Sounds: Usually silent or synth fanfare.
Music/Sounds Variant: On the Kino Lorber Blu-Ray release of Take This Job and Shove It, the Embassy Television jingle plays over it, probably because of the audio being ripped from a TV airing.
Availability: Extremely rare. Can be seen on Southern Comfort, Deadtime Stories and Witchboard, among others.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (1987-1988)
Nickname: "The Green/Pink/Blue Rectangle"
Logo: On a black background, we see a blue rectangle with a yellow outline and a red outline, and the text:
GROUP
PICTURES
is on the rectangle. At the bottom right corner of the square is a "TM" symbol.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: Silent.
Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the original VHS release of Zombie High and the trailer for Brain Damage.
Editor's Note: None.
Palisades Entertainment
(1988)
Logo: Similar to the last logo, but only this time the square is green and white, and instead of the text, it reads "Palisades" in script with "ENTERTAINMENT" on the rectangle, and the "TM" symbol is on the bottom right of the text.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on the trailer for Jack's Back.
Editor's Note: None.
