Scary Logos Wiki

Logos[]

1st logo (1995; 2001): We see a psychotic-looking man with a fixated stare on his face (actually legendary film director Orson Welles). He holds a small yellow box in his left hand and a small cardboard rainbow in his right hand, which he pulls completely out of the box, as the camera zooms in. When the camera gets close enough, it freezes, and the words "A RAINBOW RELEASE" (in white) slowly appear letter-by-letter in an arc.

Variant[]

On the 2001 film Festival in Cannes, the logo is cropped a bit, and "A Rainbow Releasing" is replaced by "A Rainbow Picture". Also the text has finally been put in a fixed position (it fits the rainbow), and it doesn't remain on-screen like the previous logo.

2nd logo (2014-): TBA

Music/Sounds[]

1st logo: None.

2nd logo: TBA

Scare Factor[]

1st logo: Low to nightmare for both variants. The silence combined with Orson's creepy stare have scared many first time viewers. The way the 2001 variant pops up may also add the scare factor. Those familiar with the works of Orson Welles may have less of a problem with it, however.

2nd logo: Minimal, the flash and cymbals might catch someone off guard, but its much tamer than the previous logo.

Trivia[]

The first logo was actually sourced from a film called A Safe Place, starring Orson Welles and directed by Henry Jaglom, who is also the owner of this studio. Also, you can see the scene in the trailer of it, which you can find it here.
