The Douglas S. Cramer Company & Screen Gems Television (1974)

The Douglas S. Cramer Company & Screen Gems Television Logo (1974) From "QB VII" on DVD. Note the closing theme was playing over the Screen Gems logo, so I just left it the way it was.

The "S from Hell" was heading for the grave during that 1974 year. The SG logo would go into a quarter century hybernation period, then wake up as the "S from Heaven" in 1999.

Thank god the s from hell jingle was plastered with the music from the last broadcast. All in agreement hit THUMBS UP!!!

I'm glad the "Siday" music was not used for this TV movie; it would have contradicted the movie's general mood and effect.

Epic music.

I recalled seeing this at the end of a movie on ABC one night as a small kid. People were singing something and it ended on the note of D, with this D.S Cramer and Screen Gems sequence behind it.

Thanks for the upload.

QB VII, it's called? Gotta see it sometime. Thanks for unlocking another door of my childhood.

By the way, "QB VII" was written by Leon Uris, who also wrote "Exodus."

And the Hell logo itself was to be accompanied by the new Columbia and Sony prints in the same manner that the NBC ident was applied to the Monkees closing.

I forgot about that when I posted. The Siday jingle was edited again for the first CPT logo (some call it the "Pretzel"), further shortening the first three notes, to fit the rhythm of the appearance of the letters C, P, and T, before they merged. I also could have sworn I saw the Sunburst logo with the Siday jingle. If it really existed (could be a fuzzy memory), it was either a transitional version, or a botched plastering job.

However, the Siday jingle did resurface upon its being used in the inaugural closing logo of Columbia Pictures Television. The jingle died with the logo in 1976, when CPT changed to its "Sunburst" logo (with a new jingle by Suzanne Ciani) already then used for its movies in December 1975. As a TV logo, it debuted in September 1976.

Must have been the S From Hell in its dying days. First the Siday jingle disappears, then the logo itself.
