Sigma III Corporation

Background:  Sigma III Corporation was an independent film distributor that was owned at one time by Filmways. It closed down sometime in the early/mid 1970's.

(1968-1970)

Nicknames : "ΣIII", "The Splitting Arrow"

Logo : On a black background, we see three blue rectangles appearing one by one, forming a roman numeral "III". A red arrow slides and moves over the "III", then two arrow pieces split, and move the bottom arrow piece to the top, forming an uppercase sigma "Σ" symbol. The words:

 A SIGMA 3 CORPORATION PRESENTATION

fades in below, with "A SIGMA 3" in big and the rest of the letters in small.

Early Variant : On early films like Greetings, the text fades in below the logo instead:

  SIGMA III CORPORATION A FILMWAYS COMPANY presents

"SIGMA III" is bigger, and the rest of the letters in smaller, with "A FILMWAYS COMPANY" in a condescended font.

FX/SFX : The rectangles moving, the arrow sliding and splitting, the text fading in.

Music/Sounds : None.

Availability : Seen on films Sigma III Corporation distributed. It was kept intact on Greetings (1968) and Hi Mom (1970).

Editor's Note : None.
