'''Music/Sounds:''' A brass/string tune ending in a dramatic three-note fanfare. It was made for the movie ''A Gathering of Eagles'' (1963) and composed by Jerry Goldsmith. Sometimes it is silent, or on movies such as ''The Slipper and The Rose'', has the opening theme of the film play over it.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. It was seen on theatrical prints of Paramount, Universal, and MGM films outside of North America. Examples are ''Demon Seed'', ''The Slipper And The Rose'', ''Earthquake'', ''Monty Python's Life of Brian'', ''Grease'', and ''The Eagle Has Landed'' (strangely an [[ITC Entertainment Group (UK)|ITC]] production, as Universal may have been the distributor in other territories). Was seen on Australian prints of various 20th Century Fox films released in Australia under "CIC-Fox". This was also seen on Italian and Australian theatrical prints of Disney/Buena Vista productions from 1971-1981, with examples being reissues of ''Peter Pan'' and ''Bambi'', and appeared on further reissues as late as 1984. Most current prints of these films use domestic prints, so this logo is long gone. However, it survives fully intact on the following: The Inception Media Blu-Ray of ''The Slipper and The Rose'' (along with a [[Shout! Factory]] streaming print -- also used by YouTube Movies -- and a TCM airing), and the U.S. [[The Criterion Collection|Criterion]] DVD of ''Die Verlorene Ehre Der Katharina Blum'' (aka ''The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum''). The French variant is a bit harder to find, but was spotted in a recent prints of ''César et Rosalie'' and ''Themroc'', though it may be found in older prints of films that CIC distributed to France. It might have been seen on the original UK release of ''Watership Down'' but most prints have no logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' The animation is a little rough, but it more than makes up for it with its magnificent fanfare.
