Sid Davis Productions

1st Logo (February 24, 1950-1975)

Opening Visuals: Against a black background, there is a conjoined gray cursive S and D formed out of a filmstrip. The text "Sid Davis Productions", in script, is shown over it, and "PRESENTS" in a plain sans serif font, is shown below.

Closing Visuals: Same as the opening, but with "The End" and "A Sid Davis Production" written across the filmstrip.

Variants:

In later years, a color version of this logo was used. The text is a vermilion color, and the filmstrip is either dull brown or pale blue, almost turquoise.
"PRESENTS" may be written in thinner lettering.
On some films, "PRESENTS" isn't used at all.
The filmstrip "glows" more on some films.

Technique: A still, hand-drawn graphic.

Audio: Just the opening (or closing) theme of the film.
