'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gray}}-black background, we see a large capital "A" on the left side corner of the background. Over it are the words "AMERICAN International" with "International" in a script font. The word "PICTURES" is below "International".

'''Logo:''' On a skyline background, we see a picture of the U.S. Capitol, sandwiched in between the words "American" on the left side, and "International" on the right, in the same SF American Dreams Extended font that was used on the 2nd American Releasing Corporation logo. Under the building is the word "PICTURES".

'''Logo:''' On a black background, or either superimposed over the opening title we see the same logo from before, except it's either {{color|red}}, {{color|gold|yellow}}, or white and 2D. The U.S. Capitol has clouds surrounding it. On the non-superimposed variant the logo zooms in.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}}/{{color|red}}, {{color|blue}}/{{color|orange}}, or dark cloudy sky background, we see a circle coming out from us to the screen, with the Capitol building inside it once the circle goes into its place. "American International", in a fancy script font, fades in.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, or superimposed over a live-action background, we see a color-changing circle with a line drawing of the Capitol Building inside. Then, it zooms into place as part of the American International Pictures logo, which is now an abstract lettering design consisting of the initials AI, to the right of the screen. After the circle moves into place, the bottom segment of the "A" and then the "I" fade into place forming the complete logo. The phrase "American International Pictures" then fades in below the logo after it forms.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a huge "ai" with the Capitol building inside the circle of the logo. Then it zooms out fast, and the letters "American International Productions" flies in from the right and pushes the logo to the left.

'''Logo:''' On a black or cloud sky background or superimposed over a live-action background, we see a {{color|gold|yellow}} circle with the "ai" as seen in the 8th logo but without the Capitol Building in the circle. The blue text "{{color|blue|American International}}" fades in under the circle. Sometimes the logo fades out to make room for the credit "SAMUEL Z. ARKOFF presents".

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a golden AI symbol (with the circle now being a globe) next to two golden letters which are "I" and "P", with gold text that reads "American International Pictures" on the right, and below that, there is a gold byline that reads "AN MGM COMPANY". All is shining while the camera slightly zooms in.

'''Variant:''' On the actual film, the print logo is used instead. It's basically a flat 2D version of the logo, but the "IP" and byline are now white.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see a yellow globe with a white light over it. The camera then zooms out, revealing a modified version of the last logo. The white lights on each of the letters go away, as we see "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''''American International Pictures'''''}}}}" slide in from the right. An updated MGM byline (with "MGM" in its new corporate font) shows up, as we see one last light spinning on the globe before fading to black.
