'''Background:''' Associated Artists Productions (a.a.p.) was a distributor of theatrical feature films and short subjects for television founded in 1953 and headed by Eliot Hyman (who also founded Seven Arts Productions in partnership with Ray Stark in 1957). The company was acquired by United Artists Pictures in 1958 and was folded into United Artists Television. Associated Artists Productions later became "United Artists Associated" and later "United Artists Television Distribution" in 1968. The library was incorporated into the MGM/UA Entertainment Co. after the merger of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and United Artists in 1981. Turner Broadcasting Systems acquired MGM/UA on March 25, 1986 (and later sold back the company on August 26). The library is now owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment by the way of Turner Entertainment Co. with Warner Bros. Pictures holding distribution (Warner Bros.'s owner Time Warner purchased Turner in 1996).

'''Logo:''' On a wooden-like background, we see the lettering "Associated Artists" in a row, under it we see the Associated Artists Productions print logo, consisting a test card symbol like, with "AAP" on it. This is surrounded by two film-stock lines. Under it "Productions, Inc." is seen.

'''Logo:''' Over a black background, the logo starts with a single white electron orbiting around. At the sound of a percussion riff, the electron becomes a lowercase "a". Another electron starts to orbit. It then becomes another "a." A third electron begins to orbit. That becomes a lowercase "p." The letters "aap" zoom up behind the spinning atom, as the words "Associated Artists Productions" below the "A's" and "presents" below the "P" fades-in below. The atom zooms-out.
