A Few AIP Logos

[@vanwashington5126]

I WAS AND STILL AM A FAN OF AIP FILMS,AND THIS WAS GREAT TO SEE HOW THEY'RE LOGO PREGRESSED! THANK YOU

[@themagus5906]

I remember the silent intro at 8:23 from the American version of the original "Mad Max" in the theatre. One of their last. When I was a kid and I saw / heard these intros coming on TV (usually late at night), I always knew I was in for a treat.

[@joshpritt2146]

The silent intro was also seen in the 1979 original The Amityville Horror

[@jeffmissinne3866]

Great logos from the "little company that could"!

[@tommya]

6:05-6:14. Man, that fanfare is all business! Fantastic.

[@alexthedrumdude]

Agreed.

[@brianlawton8172]

Man with the x-ray eyes opening still gives me the creeps. Missing is some of the japan imports like "Frankenstein conquers world" & " "Godzilla vs. the thing" but these were awesome collection thanks!

[@MikeyFortune]

AIP was the total deal ! I wanted to work for them (dream job) instead I owned some theaters and exhibited a lot of their films. The clouds logo was my fave.

[@thejimdoherty]

Additional info: The music for the logos from 0:00 to 0:41 are written by Ronald Stein. The music from 0:50 to 2:05 is by Albert Glasser.

Thanks for Posting!!--Love those logos-and really love Les Baxter--The Master of the World soundtrack Nice!!

[@kokujin1014]

Well done research on your part. You even include the A.I.T. versions. Love that "Invasion Of The Saucermen" finale.

[@denny906]

The logo with the clouds is my favorite.

[@scottmccloud2894]

Would like see included the "beach" movies, "Journey to the 7th Planet", and "The Time Travelers".

[@unigonfilms]

The "Dunwich Horror" logo is from the Midnight Movies Double Feature DVD release of Dunwich along with "Die Monster Die." "Gamera vs Monster X" is from the Retromedia DVD paired with "Monster from a Prehistoric Planet." I think that one is out of print.

[@shannonlee3413]

Good stuff my friend! You put in alot of work and research into this, very nice indeed!

[@mratfauver]

My favorites are the Les Baxter fanfares from "Beyond the Time Barrier" and "Queen of Blood."

[@tag427]

Oh and man I loved their movies!!

[@montey1]

Lord this stuff is taking me to far back.

[@davidwiseman7891]

A little history of aip. James h Nicholson sold out to Sam Arkoff in '71, Arkoff sold AIP to Filmways in '79, Orion bought Filmways in '83, Orion went bankrupt, were sold to Metromedia who then sold Orion to MGM. So the AIP catalogue is now part of MGM.

[@ScreamingScallop]

Beautiful collection! Ten AIP titles (most notably Amazing Colossal Man, I Was a Teenage Werewolf/Frankenstein, It Conquered the World, and Invasion of the Saucer Men) are held by Nicholson's widow, Susan Hart, who hasn't released them since the days of VHS for whatever reason. Godzilla vs the Smog Monster has a unique use of the AIP logo (laid over opening shots of factory pollutants!), but that version is likewise in a copyright no-man's land, replaced on DVD by Toho's own English version.

[@boydl]

thank you for this

[@rickjr37]

I think you missed a TV logo. It's one the looks like the logo for Associated Press(AP). I remember seeing it on a TV print of Food of The Gods a few years ago.

[@MrSnazzy01]

Night of the Blood Beast (1958) has the same logo as Viking Woman vs. The Sea Serpent (1957)

[@ScreamingScallop]

Thanks for the information!

[@haremcinema-show_over7642]

Very cool. Thanks.

[@waynevia6976]

Loved abby and sugar hill from 1974

[@ma55aracin9]

3:09 = my only guess is that it could be a last-second rehash of the company's very first logo from the early 50's -when they were incorpotated as a movie distributor, according to the Closing Logos Group-

[@stigwardduke7546]

The best film AIP made was Bobbie Jo and The Outlaw (1976). an action drama which featured one of the most beautiful female celebrities to ever be discovered by anyone in showbiz (namely Lynda Carter.) The worst one they commissioned was Some of My Best Friends Are...(1971), a tale about gays.

[@sambob9]

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL PICTURES WAS ALSO THE AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR FOR JAPANESE MONSTER MOVIES MADE IN JAPAN IN THE 1950'S AND 1960'S-IT ALSO DISTRIBUTED BOTH GODZILLA AND OTHER MONSTER MOVIES FROM THE TOHO STUDIO IN JAPAN AND OTHER JAPANESE STUDIOS LIKE TOEI,DAIEI AND NIKKATSU-ALL HAD TO BE IN ENGLISH VERSION BEFORE COMING TO AMERICA-ALSO AIP DID RELEASE BLAXPOITATION MOVIES CATERED TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN AUDIENCES

[@TheVideoGuyfromOhio]

Jeez, calm down, you don't have to yell that loud!

[@sambob9]

sorry i do humbly apologize-i am just stating the facts!!!

[@TheVideoGuyfromOhio]

well, it doesn't have to be all caps!

[@sambob9]

ok sorry

[@glendonato1798]

I like this video

[@ScreamingScallop]

May I ask, what are the sources for the Dunwich Horror and Gamera vs Monster X samples? For example, is the second one from Shout Factory's Gamera vs Jiger DVD, or some other source? I'd really like to find those two in particular.

5:26 My top 1000 scary logos Ranked: #428

[@joshpritt2146]

The Amityville Horror (1979) brought me here

[@martinjkrumm8764]

You grew up with the films featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000? Good for you.

[@pelverud1]

Love A.I.P Made a few stinkers though.

[@unigonfilms]

Probably more than a few! I love 'em anyway. I would see all their movies at least once, even the Larry Buchanan ones.

[@luisreyes1963]

The cheesiest American film company certainly had a lot of logos throughout their history.
