ITC Entertainment Group: Difference between revisions

* Sometimes, "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Distribution'''}}" replaces "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''presents'''}}", and sometimes, there is no text under the logo.

* There was a variant that has "'''Distributed by'''" above the logo.

* There’s a variant where "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''DISTRIBUTION'''}}" is in a different font and is slightly at the bottom right instead of being in the center below the ITC logo, an ATV Copyright date can also be seen.

* Sometimes, all three diamonds are already there, and the letters appear inside.

* In the color version of the logo, the background is {{color|red}}, and turns to {{color|green}} during the map part, the compass is {{color|silver}}, and the map's continents are {{color|blue}} on the opening variant and {{color|green}} on the closing variant.

* Certain programs will have an in-credit logo that appears with "AN" to the left of the ITC logo and "WORLD WIDE DISTRIBUTION" either to the right (such as ''Gerry Anderson's UFO'') or directly under it.

* On the TV movie ''Vendetta for the Saint'', a print version of the next logo with the copyright year is seen. Maybe it's a logo plaster.

* An in-credit variant had the words "FOR" above the ITC logo and "WORLD WIDE DISTRIBUTION" either below or by the sides of the logo, respectively. This was seen on ''Baffled!'', ''This is Tom Jones'', and the 1973 ''Sesame Street'' special ''Julie on Sesame Street'', which guest-starred Julie Andrews and Perry Como.

* An in-credit variant had the words "A BAMORE PRODUCTION FOR" above the ITC logo. This logo was seen on color episodes of ''The Saint'' from 1966-1969.

* On ''Return of the Pink Panther'', the logo is {{color|hotpink|pink}} and shares a credit with Jewel Productions Ltd. and Pimlico Films Ltd.

* It might appear on some ITC shows from the period, most notably ''The Saint'' and many of Gerry Anderson's ''Supermarionation'' shows, but it was definitely plastered by the 4th logo on [[Artisan Entertainment|IVE]]'s tapes of ''The Saint''.

* It was also recently spotted on an Australian TV airing of ''The Baron'' and is preserved on the show’s DVD release.

* It has turned up as a hidden Easter egg on the region 2 DVD release of ''The Persuaders!'' (1971-72).

* The in-credit logo can be seen on re-runs and DVD releases of ''The Prisoner'' and ''Thunderbirds'', as well as at the start of the [[Magnetic Video Corporation|Magnetic Video]], [[Embassy Home Entertainment]], and [[Avid Home Entertainment]] releases of ''The Tamarind Seed'', the latter release where it's preceded by the 6th logo.

* This also appeared at the start of B&W prints of color ATV programming from the era, such as ''The Golden Shot'' (this logo was intact when it was shown on Challenge a few years back).

* The logo is also preserved on all home media releases of ''Return of the Pink Panther'', where the logo is in-credit.

* After the introduction of the next logo, it was mainly used as a in-credit logo until it's last appearance in ''Return of the Pink Panther''.

* There exists a version without a copyright date.  

* The background color may vary, including {{color|orangered|red-orange}}, {{color|red}}, {{color|pink}}, {{color|blue}}, {{color|darkblue|dark blue}}, {{color|green}}, or black.

* Sometimes, the word "{{Small|'''FROM'''}}" is omitted.

* On ''All Star Soccer'', "PRESENTS" appears below, in the same font as the show's title card.

* Another version where the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ENTERTAINMENT'''}}" is replaced by either "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''PRODUCTIONS'''}}" or "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''PRODUCTIONS, INC.'''}}" exists.

* An animated version exists with zooming animation.

* On some TV movies like ''Jane Doe'' and ''The Scarlet and the Black'', another animated version was seen. First, the ITC logo appears, then "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''PRODUCTIONS(, INC.)'''}}" appears via a wipe effect.

* The animated version of the one above superimposed to the credits can be seen on a few TV movies. The wipe effect is a bit quicker on this variant.

* A similar animated version exists on ''Clinton and Nadine''; on a {{color|orangered|red-orange}} background, the ITC print logo is seen and underneath is the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''ENTERTAINMENT GROUP'''}}" slowly wiping in one by one.

* The first variant is left intact on ''Billionaire Boys Club'', with the then-current Granada International logo following it; the "PRODUCTIONS" variant appears at the end of the 1986 [[Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment|Walt Disney Home Video]] release of ''The Girl Who Spelled Freedom'', followed by the [[Walt Disney Television]] logo.

* Another variant with zooming animation can be seen at the end of the 1988 IVE release of ''Sunset Limousine''.

* The dark blue background variant can be found in the 1981 movie ''From a Far Country''.

* The black background variant was seen in the 1977 TV movie ''The Man in the Iron Mask'' and the first season of ''Lovejoy'' from 1986, although it was replaced by a static [[Fremantle (UK)|FremantleMedia]] logo on the DVD releases.

* The animated superimposed variant can be seen in the TV movies like ''Secret Weapons'' and ''Malice in Wonderland'' (also known as ''The Rumor Mill'').

* The green variant can be seen on ''The Munch Bunch''.

* This comes with or without a registered trademark "®" symbol next to the "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|{{Big|'''C'''}}}}}}".

* There is a rare opening variant that features "Presents" underneath. This was seen at the beginning of some ITC productions/releases.

* The closing variant of this logo is bylineless.

* There is a variation of the logo that appears at the end of some [[CBS Theatrical Films]] releases when they were shown on television, and many ITC releases from [[Avid Home Entertainment]] as well as an Australian airing of ''Danger Man''. In it, the logo is sped up, the three notes accompanying the ITC letters sliding out are not heard, the letters do not shine, there is no shimmering sound heard, "Entertainment Group" appears under "ITC" once the diamonds stop spinning, and a different "THUD!" sound is heard at the end. The music for that logo has also been heard on the standard version as well.

* The later version of this logo has a byline reading "A [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment (UK)|PolyGram Filmed Entertainment]] Company", which is seen on the Artisan DVDs of ''Sophie's Choice'', ''The Boys from Brazil'', some TV airings of ''Volunteers'', and a 1997 syndicated print of ''Halloween'' (1978).

* On the 1996-98 USA Network series ''The Big Easy'', the ITC Entertainment Group version is seen sped up (after the [[Grosso-Jacobson Productions]] logo) and cuts away to the PolyGram Filmed Entertainment logo (joined in progress; the final part of that logo is seen).

* Sometimes, it is superimposed over the ending credits. The size of the logo may vary in some cases.

* A variant with "In Association With" superimposed over the logo exists.

* A copyright date can appear under the logo in rare cases.

* Occasionally, the logo is still.

* A modified version of the tune can be found on ''Deadlock''.

* A low tone variant of the tune can be found on the Scorpion Releasing DVD of ''Whispers'' (1990).

* A high tone variant also exists.

* Sometimes the music for the ITC Entertainment Group logo can be heard over the standard logo; conversely, the standard logo's music has been known to play over the ITC Entertainment Group logo.

* There is a variant on the ITC Entertainment Group logo where the three notes play (although faster than usual) and a "THUD"/drum roll sound effect plays. This music variant is very rare.

* There's a variant of this without the "THUD" as well.

* Sometimes, the logo is silent, or it can have the opening theme of the movie play over it.

* The mini-series ''People Like Us'' has a three-note harp theme.

* Some TV movies and most episodes of ''Space: 1999'' have the 1959 logo theme playing over the logo.

* The 1990 revival of ''Tic-Tac-Dough'' has the theme playing under as Larry Van Nuys announces (following the [[Barry & Enright Productions]] logo) "... distributed by ITC!"

* This logo made its debut on ''The Brave Little Toaster'', which was released on June 19, 1987 in the UK. It was also spotted on other international VHS releases when the company held the distribution rights at the time.

* This logo was the norm for plastering older ITC logos (including the [[ITC Film Distributors Ltd. (UK)|ITC Film Distributors]] logos) on prints of its television and film library.

* In recent years, this has fallen to removal or plastering by other companies (under [[Carlton Television|Carlton]] and [[ITV Studios (UK)|Granada/ITV]] ownership for example), but can still be seen on a number of titles released by IVE, Live Entertainment, or [[Artisan Entertainment]], as well as older TV prints of ITC material.

* This appears on Artisan DVD releases of films such as ''The Last Unicorn'', ''The Boys from Brazil'', and ''The Eagle Has Landed'', among others. This logo was also spotted on various episodes of ''The Saint'' on [[ITV4 (UK)|ITV4]] in the UK and at the start and end of one episode of the aforementioned show on Me-TV titled "The Best Laid Schemes". Edited reruns of ''Thunderbirds'' that aired in 1994 on Fox Kids had the animated logo with copyright; the infamous ''Turbocharged Thunderbirds'' aired in syndication the next year had a still variant with no copyright.

* The "Entertainment Group" variant appears at the end of most ITC material released on DVD by Artisan Entertainment, such as ''The Eagle Has Landed'' and ''Jesus of Nazareth'' among many others as well as an Australian airing of ''Danger Man''.

* This logo is also intact on some ITC films released by different companies, such as the [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment|Columbia/TriStar]] DVD release and a Netflix print of ''Fear of a Black Hat'', the Scorpion Releasing DVD of ''Whispers'', and the Synapse Films DVD of ''Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy''. It was also recently seen on Amazon Prime Video viewings of ''Dogpound Shuffle'', ''Doppelganger'', and ''Welcome Home, Roxy Carmichael'' (the latter in place of the 1986 [[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]] logo, which suggests the international master was used). On Blu-Ray, this appears on the German BD of ''Wedlock'', and the Scorpion releases of ''Trouble Bound'', ''The Last Seduction'' (including the Network UK BD and SE DVD) over the film's opening theme, though the US Artisan DVD had it plastered with the Barnholtz Productions logo.

* This is also seen on ITC catalog releases by Avid Home Entertainment, where it usually (if not always) plasters earlier ITC logos or those of the films' distributors (e.g. [[Associated Film Distribution]], [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (now 20th Century Studios), [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Universal Pictures]], [[Warner Bros. Pictures]], and [[Embassy Film Associates|Avco Embassy Pictures Corporation]]); on the Avid release of ''The Tamarind Seed'', it plasters the Avco Embassy logo but retains the in-credit ITC opening logo.

* Recent prints of some of these replace this with either the Carlton, Granada, or [[ITV Studios Global Entertainment]] logos.

* This logo also made an appearance on recent Australian airings of the ''Thunderbirds'' episodes "Lord Parker's Holiday" and "Path of Destruction" (and can be seen on 9Now's prints of those episodes).

* The superimposed variant was seen on the 1990 revival of ''Tic-Tac-Dough'', and was last seen when it was rerun on the USA Network more than 20 years ago, as well as on 1991-95 episodes of ''The George Michael Sports Machine'' (presumably to help distinguish the national version of the show from the one seen on NBC's O&O stations {the show was produced by NBC's Washington DC station WRC-TV 4}, certain promos included the ITC logo and the ITC diamonds were seen on certain set pieces; beginning fall 1995, [[Group W Productions]] took over distribution and were in turn succeeded by [[Eyemark Entertainment]], [[King World Productions|King World]], [[NBC Enterprises]] and [[NBCUniversal Syndication Studios|NBCUniversal Television Distribution]]).

* It is unknown if this was seen on late 1980s/early 1990s prints of ''The Buccaneers''.

* Like with ITV4 airings of the fifth and sixth seasons of ''The Saint'', it is retained on various episodes on Britbox, with some of them even having the logo at the start as well as the end.
