Screen Gems Australia

(1971-1975)

Nicknames: "S from Australia", "S from Down Under", "S from Purgatory", "Boomerang S", "The Tame S"

Logo: "A SCREEN GEMS AUSTRALIA PRODUCTION" appears on a black background, in which after a fraction of a second appears to be zooming out on a dot. Two boomerangs appear from the top left and bottom right corners and approaches towards the dot. The boomerangs then morph into the familiar strips of the "S" logo, while "SCREEN GEMS" appears on the bottom of the formed "S".

FX/SFX: Typical animation from the 70's.

Cheesy Factor: The transition of the boomerangs to the "S" looks choppy, and the whole logo is off center.

Music/Sounds: Some kinds of trumpets playing a brief rendition of Waltzing Matilda, following the generic S from Hell jingle, with the last note being held more than usual.

Availability: Extinct. Seen on The Graham Kennedy Show.

Scare Factor: Low to high. The logo's appearance is a bit jarring and the music is just a tad too loud, but it's slightly harmless compared to it's American counterpart.
