Interscope Communications was founded in 1982 by film producer Ted Field. For the first several years of its existence, it did not use an on-screen logo until the late 1980s. Field sold his company to PolyGram in 1993. While the film production part of Interscope eventually was made a subdivision of [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]], its record label (which Field created in 1989 and was originally distributed by Atlantic) still exists as the Interscope/Geffen/A&M unit of the Universal Music Group. | '''Interscope Communications''' was founded in 1982 by film producer Ted Field.

'''Logo:''' The logo starts off inside a movie studio complete with a camera, a boom, a director’s chair and several lights, shown in a {{Font color|purple|purple}} hue. The camera scrolls down-left and heads towards one of the lights. The hue turns {{Font color|orange|orange}} and the word “INTERSCOPE” appears and heads towards the light. When the camera goes into the light, the light changes to an oval and the background changes with a flash to {{Font color|purple|purple}}. As the camera eases back a bit, “COMMUNICATIONS” appears under “INTERSCOPE” and the oval shines into a stylized oval with a lower case “i”. After the shining stops, the 1993 PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo appears underneath. | '''Logo:''' The logo starts off inside a movie studio complete with a camera, a boom, a director’s chair and several lights, shown in a {{Font color|purple|purple}} hue.
