International Creative Exchange

1st Logo

(Early 1990's)

Logo: The logo opens with a background of moving clouds in the sky. A rectangular box, representing the letter I, flies into view from the left side of the screen, followed by a shape composed of the left half of a circle and two right quarters of a circle, representing C, from the bottom. This shape settles on top of the box. Finally, three smaller boxes, representing the stems of E, fly in from the right side and settle next to the first box, forming the initials "ICE". The С and stems of E turn black as the letter I illuminates, followed by the С illuminating against the dark boxes, and finally the E illuminates, obscuring the C. The C then appears on top of the IE, colored black. The words "AN INTERNATIONAL CREATIVE EXCHANGE RELEASE" appear below the shapes, and three points on the logo sparkle: The top left corner of the large box, the left side of the small box in the middle, and the top right corner of the small box at the bottom.

Variant: On their prints of certain classic TV shows such as Invisible Man, this opening logo is seen, but without any words. There is also a B&W version.

FX/SFX: The shapes fly in, flashing and sparkling, the words appearing.

Music/Sounds: A wind effect at the beginning, whooshing for the shapes flying in, a synth jingle for the shapes changing colors, and sparkling sounds for the shapes sparkling.

Availability: Ultra Rare, now leading onto uncommon. Was seen on the 1991 release of the direct-to-video film Dream Machine. The movie has already been re-released on DVD by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment ever since. As for the TV version, can be seen on syndication prints of classic TV shows, such as Peter Gunn, Invisible Man. On some Wolper productions, they added a copyright byline Surprisingly the pre-1965 Italian films on TCM (called Turner Classic Movies which as Paul Brownstein Productions has pre-1965 Italian films libraries)
