The Screen Gems logo, a dynamic red and orange spiral, is instantly recognizable for movie and TV fans. But how much do you know about this iconic symbol? Let's delve into its history and connection to the giant Columbia Pictures.
The name Screen Gems has a Hollywood origin story. In the 1930s, Columbia Pictures had a famous slogan, "Gems of the Screen," referencing their high-quality productions. In 1933, when Columbia acquired an animation studio, they named it Screen Gems, a clever play on their existing motto.
Fast forward to 1965. Screen Gems, now primarily a television production company, wanted a new logo to mark their identity. Enter Tom Geismar of the renowned design firm Chermayeff & Geismar. He crafted the now-famous logo: a bold, swirling "S" that cleverly resembled a film reel and the initials "SG."
The Screen Gems logo became a fixture on television screens. Interestingly, with its dramatic sound effects, the animated version earned the nickname "Screen Gems S from Hell" among some viewers. Whether it was truly scary or just suspenseful, the logo left a lasting impression.
In 1998, Screen Gems was revived as a film production unit under Sony Pictures Entertainment, a conglomerate that owns Columbia Pictures. Today, the Screen Gems logo continues to grace movies, bringing a touch of Hollywood history to the silver screen.
