I think that the ITC “Compass” and “Rainbow Diamonds” has the same fanfare, because of Big Daddy Kane’s “It’s a Big Daddy Thing” where it got sampled. The “Rainbow Diamonds” can also be found on “The Muppet Show” as well, including a TV print of “The Muppet Movie” where it was shown on TV. I spotted them on one of the openings to “Family Classics” on WGN-TV back in 1994, and that one would never appeared again, because Disney now owns the Muppets.
It’s not a jumpscare, but this was an earlier variant of the “Rainbow Top” logo. They only used it for “The Muppet Show” during season 1, “Space: 1999” and others. Same with “Presents” and “Production” underneath the logo.
Now most of ITC's catalog owned by ITV PLC. Perhaps, one day there will be a streaming service just for classic movies. Really want to see classic movies in colors especially 1960's to 1970's.
I live in America, and for some reason before I met you, I thought this logo was Mexican (it looks similar to something from there, can't remember it for the life of me).
The reason ITC ended up in Polygram dates back to end of parent company ATV. Chairman Lee Grade had got over ambitious in his pursuit of the movie market rather than than sticking to what he knew best - TV and the company was subject to a hostile takeover from an Australian owner.Simultaneously ATV lost its franchise to run an ITV regional broadcasting franchise. The U.K. TV establishment had long been critical of ATV which they didn’t like because of its expensive glossy output aimed at US and international sales. There was a lot of snobbery in U.K. tv and boring videotaped plays set in council estates was what the critics wanted. I grew up with ITC and would always seek out their programmes and movies as a boy. One major thing missing from your logo history is ITC Film Distributors which was their movie distribution company in the U.K. This consisted of three windmills which spin and come together to form the diamonds.
ITC Entertainment's film catalog currently lies with ITV, plc. due to Seagram's selling off PolyGram Filmed Entertainment's superfluous assets. ITC Entertainment's film catalog bounced around from PolyGram to Carlton to Granada and finally to ITV.
Wot no wind flowers? Also, I'd have thought that ITC (who Imthink were hisrotically the international distributors of ATV's programmes) would be part of ITV plc nowadays.

A google search for the company that did Dark Crystal (and Space 1999) led me here. Strangely fascinating stuff. Thanks for making this. Great stuff.
4:29 that actually jumpscared me

3:19 was the variant that scared ME
@@JetroNetro I don't mean the variant, I mean that Jesus on the boat lol
@@Juannope lol
6:36 is from “Windmill of the Gods”, the only TV mini-series that had this placeholder logo.
1:12 the 1st logo has a similar music used in the old Sooty Show (it sounds sorta similar)
@@amigajunk4890 maybe, as Sooty is a Show
@@ALEXPARKES2002 true like the Harry Corbett version

3:54 Makes me wanna say; "The Fleemco company presents..."
I don’t think any new logos after 1981 should be thought of as canon, as ATV was defunct and the company would never be the same again.

The ITC Compass was also in aqua blue as well as the orange background
3:08 Why is there a line at the bottom going crazy like it drank too much coffee
Wouldn't that mean all itc products are universals ip now
Do Nickelodeon Movies In Ep 18
Does anyone know that 1:26 the video sound is deteriorated?
Edit: As well in 4:30
Maybe because when filmstrip started to deteriorate over time, the noise would go janky and messy
My favorite logo is the third one.
ITC Entertainment's film catalog currently lies with ITV, plc. due to Seagram's selling off PolyGram Filmed Entertainment's superfluous assets. ITC Entertainment's film catalog bounced around from PolyGram to Carlton to Granada and finally to ITV.
While “The Muppet Show” was ITC, was later bought by Jim Henson Productions and Disney.
@@Musicradio77Network I said "film catalog"
I hate when people post pointless replies to my comments.
Oh joy
My favorite logos of itc is 1989 to 1998
Wot no wind flowers?
Also, I'd have thought that ITC (who Imthink were hisrotically the international distributors of ATV's programmes) would be part of ITV plc nowadays.
Most of their output is now owned by ITV Studios.
I only know ITC Entertainment because of The Muppets
I only know ITC Entertainment Inc. Because of Gerry Anderson.
Up until the Muppets being owned by Disney.
Do Disney on Episode 17
FHE was episode 17
I know of ITC because of Space 1999 first and others later
My favourite is the 1989-1998 itc logo ccg88
I m scard of this logo when i was younger 6 46
PolyGram should buy out ITC and even Universal.
Do WQLN after Medusa Please.
