'''Technique:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Its only known appearance was on the end of ''Hearts and Minds''. While the 2002 [[The Criterion Collection|Criterion Collection]] DVD of said film preserve this logo, the 2014 home media release, on the other hand, has it replaced with a preservation text.

'''Logo:''' We see a man with a fixated stare on his face (actually Orson Welles). He holds a small yellow box in his left hand and a small cardboard rainbow in his right hand, which he pulls completely out of the box, as the camera zooms in. When the camera gets close enough, it freezes, and the words "'''AN INTERNATIONAL RAINBOW PICTURE'''" in an arc wipe in and "'''A JAGFILM'''" fades in below.

'''Trivia:''' This was actually sourced from a film called ''A Safe Place'', starring Orson Welles and directed by Henry Jaglom, who is also the owner of this studio. Also, you can see the scene in the trailer for said film.

'''Variants:'''
*For the most part, the logo is cropped.
*On ''Venice/Venice'', the words "'''A RAINBOW RELEASE'''" replace "A JAGFILM".

'''Technique:''' Mostly live action, except for the text wiping and fading in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on films from this period starting with ''Sitting Ducks'' and up until ''Venice/Venice''. However, this logo does not appear on ''Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?''.

'''Legacy:''' This logo has scared many people, due to the absence of music and the evil-looking man in the logo.

'''Logo:''' The logo nearly follows the same behavior as the Rainbow Pictures logo except the logo is yellow and appears letter-by-letter, the text is in the Broadway font.

'''Variant:''' On ''Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?'', the logo is black with no shadow effect and the text "A JAGFILM" is added underneath.

'''Technique:''' The letters appearing.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The ending theme of the movie.

'''Availability:''' Only seen at the end of ''Siting Ducks'' and ''Can She Bake a Cherry Pie?''. Like with the company's other logos, it is preserved on on-demand prints such as Tubi.
