Screen Gems Television: Difference between revisions

* There is one version where the stars shining are more animated and differently shaped, with no glow inside them.  

* From late 1954 to early 1956, the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''Film'''''}}" is added inside the tube.

* There is a special variant for the 10th Anniversary of Screen Gems. The logo is the same, except for the text "10^{{small|TH}} ANNIVERSARY {{small|FILM PROGRAM}}" (or "{{small|FILM PRESENTATION}}") seen below in place of the standard text.

* A (.*) version of the logo was spotted. It is known to be seen on the ''Shirley Temple's Storybook'' episode "Mother Goose".

* A French version exists, consisting of "UNE PRESENTATION" in place of "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''A'''''}}", "INC." added underneath the "S" in "GEMS", and "TELEVISION SUBSIDIARY" being replaced by "SERVICE DE TELEVISION DE".

* A rare color variant of this logo was seen on ''Hazel''.

* Sometimes, the logo is shown in open-matte.

* An opening version featured the "COLUMBIA" lettering from the film logo superimposed over a studio, with a camera crane moving (similar to the 1960 [[NBC Studios|NBC]] "Cameraman" logo); this then fades to the Screen Gems logo.

* One version of the logo does not use an announcer spiel. This was often used on international prints of Screen Gems shows.

* The final season of ''Route 66'' has "A Screen Gems Presentation; Herbert B. Leonard, Executive Producer". The latter part of the spiel was taken from the previous logo's vocal track.

* Some prints have a higher-pitched version of the music.

* There's an in-credit logo that's shown on the short-lived series ''Adventures of the Seaspray'' with the text "{{font|Times New Roman|in association with}}" and "Screen Gems" in the same font as the credits.

* Another in-credit version was shown on ''The Pierre Berton Show'' with the text "'''''SCREEN GEMS Canada Production'''''" in the same font as the credits.

* Starting in late 1972, the byline "A DIVISION OF COLUMBIA PICTURES INDUSTRIES, INC." zooms up with "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" on most programs.

* A black and white variant exists on shows in said colors.

* On some prints of ''The Partridge Family'', the "'''''S'''''" is black, attributed by some to film deterioration.

* Several shows in 1970 don't have the name in bold.

* There is also a still variant of this logo with the phrase "DISTRIBUTED BY" in small print above "SCREEN GEMS".

* Another still variant with and without Columbia bylines respectively was seen on some shows like the first season of ''Police Story'' and ''Ghost Story'' (also known as ''Circle of Fear'').

* Another variant has the byline appearing after the company logo/text animation stop. This variant was seen on early episodes of the miniseries ''QB VII''.

* There is a variant where (possibly due to film deterioration), the screen is white and the "'''''S'''''" is bright. Seen on the pilot episode of ''Love on a Rooftop''.

** Another variant is similar to the one above, but even brighter, making the "'''''S'''''" invisible and the words "'''SCREEN GEMS'''" barely visible. Seen on the ''Love on a Rooftop'' episode "The Six Dollar Surprise".

*** Another variant like the ones above, contains the byline, has the "'''''S'''''" partly invisible and the name and byline barely visible to see. This was spotted in a B&W print of ''The Paul Lynde Show'' episode "Togetherness".

* On a late 1980s print of an episode of ''Occasional Wife'', the animation and music of the logo were slightly faster than usual, probably due to time compression.

* A still version with a {{color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} background was seen on Episode 5 of the short-lived series ''The Girl with Something Extra''.

** Another still version with a {{color|magenta|pink}} background was seen on the pilot of the same show.

* On the Get TV airing of the TV special ''The Temptations Show'', the logo strangely skips in the middle of its animation, speeding up the logo and music in the process.

* On some current prints of shows, the logo is cropped to 16:9 (mostly the bylineless versions), sometimes remastered in HD or not.

* A filmed version exists, known to been found on 16mm prints of ''Brian's Song''.

* There is a silent version on the 1971 television movie ''Brian's Song''.

* The still version seen on ''Police Story'' had the end theme playing over the logo.

* The 1966 series ''Hawk'' (with Burt Reynolds), some later prints of ''The Peter Potamus Show'', the 1966 edition of ''NFL Game of the Week'', and the very first episode of ''Days of Our Lives'', carried an alternate recording of the Eric Siday music, which had sharper, more "shrill" tones, almost sounding like a loud saxophone; the black "S" variant also used this.

* On some first season episodes of ''I Dream of Jeannie'' (seen in syndication in the '70s and early '80s), as well as the half hour packaging of ''Batfink'', an alternate trumpet fanfare in G major played over the logo (said to be composed by Winston Sharples, but this is unconfirmed).

** Current prints of ''I Dream of Jeannie'' used the extended 2002 [[Sony Pictures Television]] theme instead.

* In other cases, it used the closing theme of the show or TV movie.

* Some prints have the music higher pitched.

* When ABC reran ''Bewitched'' on their daytime schedule in 1968, this logo had the 1963 "Dancing Sticks" music attached to it on at least two episodes, probably due to a plastering error.
