2nd Logo

(1969-1982?)

1974 (Variant)1969

Logo: On a white (light blue due to film deterioration) background, a blue "C" writes itself in. Then, another "C" in green writes itself in. Then the words "Citadel Cinema Films, Inc." fade in on the right of the "C"s and so does the byline "An Aleron Communications Company" in caps.

Variant: There was another version seen on 5 films where the color of the background is accurately white, but the blue "C" is black, also due to film deterioration, but has an brownish tint to it. After the "C in C" symbol is formed, the animation is different. "Citadel Cinema Films" zoom out word-by-word, then the same byline appears. The same music remain on this variant. This one dates from the late 1970's.
