Blue Saturn Inc.

(1985-1986)

Nicknames : "Shhh!", "The Dark Cinema", "Shush Lady", "The Cinema", "The 'Shhh, din-din-din-din-din din din-din!' Logo", "Be prepared for a movie, everybody!" 

Logo : On a black background, we see the cinema zooming out, then the background turns into solid black and a outline of the woman with a shush gesture. The Saturn moves out of the planet and "BLUE SATURN INC." wiping in.

FX/SFX : The shushing animation, the Saturn moving.

Music/Sounds : The sound of an audience muttering and murmuring is heard, followed by a shushing sound effect, and then a 9-note electric piano theme composed by Jeffrey Townsend. The tune is very similar to the refrain of "King of Wishful Thinking" by the artist, Go West, but since this logo predates that song, this is most likely a coincidence. The music/sounds was later used on the 1987 Gracie Films logo.

Availability : Seen on Defender from the Planets episodes from that time.

Scare Factor : Minimal to high, due to the sudden darkness and the woman shushing. In addition, the logo is usually followed by an "In Association With" screen which may unnerve some viewers.
