'''Logo:''' On a yellow background, two red parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer. They fly towards each other, and the higher moves forward while the lower backs away. As they do so, they grow in length and wrap around a space where a red dot appears, forming a stylized "S". Under that, the text "SCREEN GEMS" zooms in. | '''Logo:''' On a yellow background, two red parallelograms (or lines) come from the top and bottom of the screen, and the upper one is at a distance while the lower is closer.

'''Availability:''' Pretty common. This logo has been beautifully restored on reruns of ''Bewitched'', ''I Dream of Jeannie'', and ''The Partridge Family'' on Antenna TV and FETV. Ironically, the DVD versions are not so lucky; except for one B&W episode (episode #22) of ''I Dream of Jeannie'', the logos were removed on disc, but the short version complete with jingle has been restored starting with the seventh season DVDs of ''Bewitched'', as well as the fourth season DVD of ''The Partridge Family''. Don't expect the Columbia byline on the latter, though. The VHS release ''The Partridge Family: C'mon Get Happy!'' also preserves this logo, followed by the 1993 CPT logo. The only other DVDs with this logo are the 1971 TV movie ''Brian's Song'' and the 1974 miniseries ''QB VII'', with theme music over it, plus the Columbia byline. This logo can be seen after every episode on the DVD release of ''Bridget Loves Bernie''. This logo can also be found on every episode on the 2014 Mill Creek Entertainment DVD release of ''Gidget''. The still variant with the Columbia byline can be found on most episodes of the first season of ''Police Story'' on DVD, released by Shout! Factory. It was also shown in an edited form on Fox Family reruns of ''The Partridge Family'' and in a sped-up form without music on Hallmark Channel reruns of ''Bewitched''. A good few episodes of ''Bewitched'' when aired on the UK satellite channel ''Living'' have this logo, often followed by the Sony Pictures Television International logo. The "Hawk S" can be seen at the Paley Center, and the 1966 edition of ''NFL Game of the Week'', which can be found on YouTube. This was also seen on an episode of ''The Monkees'' on IFC, which was followed by the 1996 CTTD and 2014 Sony/SPT logos. Its first appearance was on the third and final season of ''The Farmer's Daughter'', on ABC, and the fifth and final season of ''Hazel'', on CBS, but sometimes SPT logo can plaster this logo. | '''Availability:''' Pretty common.

'''Editor's Note:''' For a logo from the | '''Editor's Note:''' For a logo from the '60s, this features very smooth animation, especially when compared to other logos of the time. However, this logo has gained somewhat of a cult following due to its notoriety for scaring some viewers, even enough to spawn a short mockumentary in 2010 called ''The S from Hell''. | ||
