MTM Films/Logos

1971-1978
MTM opened its film unit in 1971. Despite the colours of the TV logo changing in 1974, this logo retained the original colour scheme until its retirement.

1978-1983


This was used after MTM acquired ABC Pictures International.

1983-1988
From 1983 to 1996, after Mary Tyler Moore Incorporated and Argosy Media Affiliates merged into Argosy Entertainment, most of MTM’s films were distributed by Argosy Pictures.

1987-1988
This was used as an opening logo on films co-produced by both Argosy Pictures and MTM Enterprises in 1987. It was short-lived, and was later replaced with the Argosy Pictures logo followed by the 1988 logo.

1988-1993
This ident was made using Identmation, an early computer-animation method for studio logos.

1996-1997
In 1996, after the MTM/News Corp deal, News Corp Pictures was sold directly to MTM Enterprises, which was acquired by Canadian telecom company Shaw Communications in the Robertson/Shaw deal less than a week later. As a result, News Corp Pictures was merged with the film-production unit of MTM Enterprises to form MTM Films. This logo was made using the Identmation system.
