Argosy Pictures/Logos/Summary

1973-1975


Logo: Basically a white copyright disclaimer on a black BG saying "COPYRIGHT (YEAR) ARGOSY/AOFM PICTURES", with the Argosy stylized “A” below.

Music: None.

1975-1979


Logo: On a black background with white lines, "ARGOSY/AoFM PICTURES" zooms in, with the "A" in its stylized corporate logo form, and the rest of the text in Futura Bold. Then "presents" fades in below.

Music: None.

1979-1982


Logo: On a black background, we zoom out from the blue text "ARGOSY PICTURES" until the text is in the centre. We then see the Argosy "A" logo in lime green appear behind the text via a Scanimated swirl effect. The text moves below the "A".

Music: Various synthesizer effects, sounding similar to the Rede Globo ident from 1980.

1982-1984


Logo: On a space background (similar to the one in the 2nd Rede Bandeirantes ident), we see "ARGOSY PICTURES", zooming out in a trail effect. The logo shines.

Music: "Flash" by Keith Mansfield (the pilot theme for Press Your Luck and the theme of the Australian Thorn EMI Video logo), the previous logo’s music, the opening theme of the movie, or none.

1984-1987


Logo: On a purple-green gradient background, we see waving American and British flags above the company's name in yellow.

Music: Same as the previous logo.

1987-1990


Logo: On a white background, we see Aaron the Cat (from the Argosy TV logo) with a “Big A” flag on his tail. Overlapping him at the bottom is the text “ARGOSY” in orange, with “PICTURES” below in black.

Music: The “Aaron’s Ditty” from the Argosy TV logo, the 1979 or 1982 logo’s music, the opening theme of the movie, or none.

1990-1999


Logo: On a morning sky background, particles zoom toward us. We zoom out through a sphere, which turns chrome. We zoom out further which reveals the particles formed the "A" and the text "RGOSY PICTURES".

Music: A 6-note orchestral tune, the opening theme of the movie, or none.

1999-2005


Logo: On a medium blue background with cyan lines, we see the Argosy A in white on the left, and the company's name in a yellow serifed font on the right.

Music: Same as the previous logo.

2005-2009
Logo: We see a starfield with a comet flying across. Suddenly all stars fold into a glowing yellow bundle, which then moves and spreads them out. The stars form the Argosy “A” logo in yellow, which zooms in. The text "ARGOSY/WILSON PICTURES" fades in below.

Music: A dreamy calm synthesized woodwind and bell theme composed by Argosy composer Sally Sharp, or the opening theme of the movie.

2009-2017


Logo: On a black background, orange glowing wave/swirls form the "A" in gold. "ARGOSY PICTURES" in silver slides in from the bottom.

Variant: Starting in 2011, the ArgosyMTM Group byline fades in below.

Music: The previous logo’s music, the opening theme of the movie, or none.

2017-2022


Logo: On a black background, we see lines wiping in from the bottom. The lines reveal several geometric shapes. The word "PICTURES" wipes in. Finally, the shapes turn into the Argosy “A” logo, and we then see the word "ARGOSY" appear next to the ”A”. The logo is in a blue tint while wiping, before turning metallic white. The ArgosyMTM Group byline fades in below.

Music: A loud synth sound that sounds similar to the Fox Lorber Films logo from 2000.

2022-present


Logo: We see a montage of Argosy Media buildings/studios in Seattle throughout the years, while two rectangles form with a video-wall effect, showing footage from classic Argosy Pictures films playing placed side by side. After a few seconds, the Argosy Pictures logo turns upright as it zooms out, revealing a realistic cloud background. The ArgosyMTM byline fades in below.

Music: A re-orchestrated version of the 2005 theme, now played in a different key (this time in E♭ major). It has a more powerful build-up and the opening notes are now played on a piano solo, acoustic guitar, ukulele, flute and chimes.
