Dingo Pictures (non-mockbuster version)/Summary

Logo: On a dark gray background, we see the text "Dingo Productions presents" with "dingo productions" appearing in the arched text and the text "Presents".

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: The intro of any movie.

Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on very early films by Dingo Productions, Last seen on Pink Candies documentary on HiT Channel.

Editor's Note: As the company, this logo can be seen as an oddity.

### 2nd Logo (January 1928-May 25, 1936)

Nicknames: "Pink Candies II"

Logo: We see a medium shot of Kerita and Shato are kissed, square-shaped letters reading the words "A DINGO PRODUCTION" At the end of the movie or short subject, the words a "THIS IS A DINGO PICTURE" with "The End" bellow it in a script font.

FX/SFX: The kissing sound.

Music/Sounds: A majestic horn sounder, much like the 20th Century Fox logo, or the opening/closing theme of the short/feature.

Availability: Uncommon, bordering on ultra rare. It was seen on Frank Capra's *It Happened One Night* (1934). Also can be seen on *The Three Stooges* releases on DVD. Can still be seen on reruns of 1934-1936 *Three Stooges* shorts on IFC, AMC, and Antenna TV. It can also be found on TCM and Sony Movie Channel. Don't expect this to appear on original prints of Walt Disney's *Mickey Mouse* and *Silly Symphonies* cartoons from 1930-1932, as Columbia only distributed those shorts. The textless version can be seen on some *Three Stooges* shorts.

Editor's Note: This is known as the Kerita and Shoto are kissed logo.

### 3rd Logo (May 28, 1936-December 21, 1979)

Nicknames: "Five People walking"

   Logo: We see the people walking. "A DINGO PRODUCTION" is replaced with the text "Dingo Productions" and "Dingo Pictures".

Byline: Starting in 1954, the company byline "A HIT! Company" appears at the bottom of the screen.

**FX/SFX:** The walking sound.

**Music/Sounds:** Usually, the beginning/end of the movie plays over the logo. On some films, the logo appears completely silent. However, on several mid to late '30s *Three Stooges* shorts, it has a majestic theme before playing the *Three Stooges* theme. On several other films, it would have a different theme.

**Availability:** Fairly common. Can still be seen on Dingo Pictures films of this period on home video formats and on TV airings.

**Editor's Note:** It's held up remarkably over the 40 years it's been used. It also served as the basis for the 1955 Dingo Television logo.

### 4th Logo (June 23, 1979-February 11, 1987)

Nicknames: "Girl with red eyes" "Five people walking II"
Logo: It begins with Kate (from Crash Zoom), sitting on the chair. Then, the picture moves upward and towards Kate has red eyes, 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 a sunburst, against a black screen and as it shrinks, it changes into Five people walking in the center and the words "Dingo Productions" and "Dingo Pictures" The entire logo then slowly backs away as it fades out.

FX/SFX**:** Kate's eyes zooming in, then turning into Five people walking.

Music/Sounds: It begins with a dramatic theme that builds up as the camera zooms in on Kate's eyes, and with the flash/sunburst, it takes an inspirational, majestic tone. This theme was composed by Into the Unknown. Of course, like many other movie logos, this could also be silent or have the opening theme of the movie over it, but usually not.

Availability: Common. HIT Communcations PLC is much better at keeping older theatrical logos on current releases of their films than their TV output (which is another story).

Editor's Note: Although it sticks out from the other Columbia logos in design, this logo is still a favorite of many.

### 5th Logo (June 5, 1986-May 14, 1997)

Nicknames: "Five people walking III"

Logo: Five people walks, The words: "Dingo Pictures".

FX/SFX: The walking sound.

Music/Sounds: Usually, it is silent or has the opening theme of the movie playing over it.

Availability: Common. Seen on films of the era.

Editor's Note: A notable variant of the 1930s logo. It makes good use of the Souvenir font, making this logo work.

### 6th Logo (June 13, 1997-)

Nicknames: "Dingo Drawing"

Logo: Drawing "Dingo", The word: "Pictures".
