Sagittarius Productions
Logophile
1st Logo (July 26, 1968-July 23, 1972)
Visuals: On an ivory background is a red stylized drawing of the astrology sign Sagittarius (a centaur aiming a bow and arrow). After a moment the word "SAGITTARIUS" zooms in towards the middle. After a moment "PRESENTS" or "PRESENTATION" zooms in below the former word and is smaller as well. The words disappear after a moment before the logo fades out.
Variant: An in-credit version exists without the zooming text.
Technique: Camera-controlled animation.
Audio: A tune played on a bass guitar, with the beginning played a little fast as "SAGITTARIUS" appears, then it turns into seven strums which sounds like something from a murder mystery with the last note echoing a bit as the logo fades out.
Availability: Seen on Mission Mars and The Candy Man (1969 film starring George Sanders). The in-credit version appears on Innocent Bystanders.
