The filmreels then move away, leaving us the logo for a few seconds.
Variant: On a Canadian film print of Asylum, the rectangle is dark magenta and the outlines are blue, orange, and red.
FX/SFX: 2D animation of the filmreels.
Music/Sounds: A creepy warbling, ascending Moog synthesizer, which is not too dissimilar to the 1970s Public Broadcasting Service and Children's Television Workshop logos.
Availability: Near extinction. Possibly seen on a few films that this company had distributed, although the only known releases from the company are Canadian film prints of British films such as Man About The House and Asylum.
