Скачать или смотреть COLUMBIA PICTURES 1976-81 "Sunburst" Logo ("Murder By Death" - June 23, 1976 Debut)

This is the debut opening of the 1976-81 "Sunburst" logo used by Hollywood studio Columbia Pictures. The second half of the logo was already used as a print logo since 1975, but this was the big screen debut of it.

This logo premiered for the comedy/mystery movie "Murder By Death" on June 23, 1976. The logo would be used until the May 15, 1981 premiered of the Canadian/American slasher movie "Happy Birthday to Me."

It begins with the familiar Columbia Torch Lady (a less-detailed yellow-toned 1942 Torch Lady), standing on the pedestal holding her light torch against the backdrop of clouds. Then, the picture moves upward and towards the torch as the rays pull in, which shines even more as the picture blurs around it. It then emits a flash that fills the screen. When the flash dissolves, the light torch itself appears, as if in sunburst, against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into a more "abstract" torch: a blue half circle, or a semicircle, with thirteen white light rays in the center and the words "Columbia Pictures" in Souvenir medium font under it. The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out.
