Educational Film Center

1st Logo (1979-1980)
Nicknames: "efc", "White Letters"

Logo: On a lavender background, we see the following text in white:

This program was produced by __________________________ ef--EDUCATIONAL FILM CENTER THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA EDUCATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATION __________________________

The "efc" is connected together. Seconds later, a copyright date fades in below.

FX/SFX: Just the copyright date fading in.

Music/Sounds: The end theme to Thinkabout.

Availability: Seen on some episodes of Thinkabout.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1980-1993)
FDckhxAI2UU

Nicknames: "efc II", "Gold Letters"

Logo: On a space background, we see a gold bar zooming out to the middle of the screen (a la the MCA Videodisc logo), which reads "A PRODUCTION OF". It then disappears with an "e" flashing in, then an "f", with the line sticking down, then a "c", which is the same EFC logo from before. As all the letters flash in, the logo glows and shines.

FX/SFX: The gold bar zooming, the letters flashing, the logo glowing, and shining.

Music/Sounds: A "whoosh" as the bar sweeps up and 3 synth bells as the letters flash.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on some old Annenberg/CPB programs.

Editor's Note: This logo was serviceable enough for the early 80s, but it started to get quite dated when the 90s rolled around.
