Marvel Productions: Difference between revisions

In 1986, Cadence Industries was liquidated and sold Marvel Entertainment Group to [[New World Pictures]], both of which later became part of [[New World Entertainment]]. Although MEG was later sold, New World kept hold of Marvel Productions, and in 1992, the studio became part of a new division of New World, called '''New World Family Filmworks'''. A year later, the studio was renamed as ''New World Animation''.

* Long version: On a blue background, several large sets of thin lines rotate in different directions. Over the lines, a "star" traces out a stylized "MP", with another "M" cut out of the "M" part of the logo. When the logo is fully traced and the lines are in position (with horizontal lines for the "M" part and vertical lines for the "P"), the logo flashes as all lines fade out, and the "M" cut out turns white while the rest turns yellow. After the logo shrinks to the top-left corner, the text "'''{{color|gold|MARVEL PRODUCTIONS LTD}}'''." (in Bauhaus 93) is "wiped in" by a star. Another star forms the byline "A '''CADENCE''' COMPANY" in the same fashion below the logo.

* Short version: On a blue background, white grids rapidly converge together to form the logo in blue at the top of the screen with the usual text forming below (the byline is closer to the company name this time). The "O" shines with a "ping".

'''Visuals:''' In space, the screen pans out through a series of orange glowing CGI bars. As the bars rotate up towards the camera, they are revealed to be part of the "MP" logo, done in glorious 3D (and with the "M" cut-out, not filled in). In the background, Spider-Man (also in CGI) flies up from below, and the logo is "absorbed" into his body, turning him silver. The space background turns into a "time warp mode" into a silver-black gradient background, as the words "'''MARVEL PRODUCTIONS LTD'''." rise up from the bottom-right with a trail behind them. The "MP" logo returns to the screen, as the silver Spider-Man somersaults to the top of it and takes a prowler-like stance above it as the logo takes its place on the center of the screen (Spider-Man's eyes return shortly after). The text takes its place below the logo.

* This logo was designed and animated by Gary Demos and John Whitney at Digital Productions (known for ''The Last Starfighter, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, and Labyrinth'').

* The extended music variant was found on ''Spider-Man: Don't Hide Abuse'' and ''Spider-Man: What To Do About Drugs'', two in a series of four educational ''Spider-Man'' VHS tapes titled ''Spider-Man Safety Series'' that were distributed to schools, and since the remaining two remain lost, it is unknown if those videos have this variant as well.
