Nicknames: "The Spinning C", "Rainbow C"
Logo: In the center of a black screen, we see some multicolored layers in an arc wiping onto the screen and spinning around. As this happens, a thick blue arc fitted with the layers wipes on forming a "C" shaped logo. The logo zooms out to the left and stops spinning. Finally, the words "CINERAMA RELEASING CORPORATION" zoom up within the opening of the "C", and spread outside towards the right. The word "FROM" fades in to the left of the "C".
Variants:
•A black and white variant exists.
•In later years, the word "CORPORATION" is omitted from the company name.
•There's a variation of this logo where the words in a thicker font and are italicized.
Cinerama is a widescreen process that originally projected images simultaneously from three synchronized 35mm projectors onto a huge, deeply curved screen, subtending 146-degrees of arc. Subtending refers to the pathways of the projected images from the synchronized projectors onto the curved screen overlapping each other at one point.
