(1950-1975)

Nickname: "The SD Filmstrip"

Opening Logo: Against a black background, we see a conjoined gray cursive S and D formed out of a filmstrip. The text "Sid Davis Productions", in script, is shown over it, and "PRESENTS" in a plain sans serif font, is shown below.

Closing Logo: Same as the opening, but with "The End" and "A Sid Davis Production" written across the filmstrip.

Variants (applies for both opening and closing logos):

• In later years, a color version of this logo was used. The text is an orangish color, and the filmstrip is either dull brown or pale blue.
• "PRESENTS" may be written in thinner lettering.
• On some films, "PRESENTS" isn't used at all.
• The filmstrip "glows" more on some films.
• On Alcohol is Dynamite, the logo is completely different. Against a gray background with two vertical lines on the left, "THE END" is shown above in jumbled black letters, and below it it is a box with
  
  
  A
  SID DAVIS
  P-R-O-D-U-C-T-I-O-N
  inside it. "A" is written in script.

FX/SFX: None; it's a still logo.

Music/Sounds: Just the opening (or closing) theme of the film.

Availability: Seen on many Sid Davis-produced educational films, such as The Dangerous Stranger, What's the Big Hurry?, Skateboard Sense, and the notorious Boys Beware. Alcohol is Dynamite is the only film not to have this intro.

Scare Factor: None.
