Argosy Pictures/Logos

1943-1957
In 1943, the company was acquired by the Frank A. Munsey Company, publishers of Argosy magazine. As a result, it was renamed from “Association of Film Makers” to “AoFM Pictures”.

1973-1975
After Argosy Media absorbed AoFM, it was renamed to Argosy Pictures. This logo was a placeholder; it was used at the end of films as a copyright notice, and the AoFM logo continued to be used at the beginning of films, and on promotional materials (along with the Argosy Pictures logo), until 1975.

1984 (unused)
LOGO MISSING A logo with Aaron the Cat was allegedly designed by Ellen Peck, according to an interview, around the same time as the rebranding of the TV and home video units, but for some unknown reason, was never used. No evidence or design sketches exist, however.

1990-1999
Starting in 1996, Argosy Pictures took over distribution of MTM Films from Orion, and as a result, this logo was often accompanied by the MTM Films logo.

1999-???
Due to reorganizations in 2009, Argosy Pictures was absorbed into MTM Films; since 2009, this logo is always preceded by the MTM Films logo. Argosy Pictures continues to exist as an in-name-only unit of MTM Films.
