Cinema Center Films

Background: Cinema Center Films was the first film production arm of the CBS Television Network, active from 1967 to 1972. The studio's films were distributed by National General Corporation. Currently, CBS Television Distribution owns the television distribution rights to the library, while Paramount Pictures owns theatrical rights (Paramount Home Entertainment owns home media rights via their distribution agreement with CBS Home Entertainment; those rights were previously held by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment).

(August 7, 1968-August 9, 1972)
Nicknames: "CCF", "The Movie Projector"

Logo: On a blue background, we see "CCF" being drawn in big black letters designed to represent an abstract movie projector. Then pink (sometimes red) dots appear with a line drawing around them, to look like the film running through the projector. A white line wiping and coming out of the "F" (the "projector lens") reveals the text "CINEMA CENTER FILMS", which then fades into "PRESENTS". The logo only appears once at the start of the film.

Variants:
 * On the 1985 and 1993 VHS releases of With Six You Get Eggroll, a pink border is shown around the logo, which is also seen over the opening credits.
 * Sometimes (mainly on full-screen prints), the logo is in 4:3 "open matte" aspect ratio.
 * The logo's CinemaScope aspect ratio is cropped to 1.85:1 flat ratio on some films.

FX/SFX: "CCF" drawing, the pink dots appearing (sometimes red) and the line drawing.

Music/Sounds:
 * Usually silent, but sometimes has the beginning of the film's opening theme.
 * On Me Natalie, it used a piano/orchestral theme.
 * On A Boy Named Charlie Brown, it used an instrumental jazzy arrangement of the "Champion Charlie Brown" theme from the film.
 * On Scrooge, it uses a bell-sounding fanfare.

Availability: Uncommon, as CCF only produced 30 films before closing in 1972. It's still intact on the studio's outpt, including The Reivers, A Boy Named Charlie Brown, Scrooge, Little Big Man, Blue Water, White Death, Prime Cut, and Snoopy, Come Home (the last film to use the logo).
