Dandy Films

Background
This was a joint venture between Dunn Films and The Millimeter Station, dedicated to genre films. The label had headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah and Exeter, Devon. The name of the company is a homophone for “D and D” (Dan-D), this being the initials for company runners Linda Dunn and Ruth Dodd. Dandy films would shut down in 2011.

1st Logo (1987-1999)
Logo: We fade in to a golden cube with one of the corners facing the viewer. Two Ds are present on the front facing sides in a mirror fashion. The cube shines as the white text "DANDY FILMS presents" fades in below.

Variant: Sometimes this logo is set on a blue background.

FX/SFX: The shine and the text.

Music/Sounds: A mythical synthesizer tune. Sometimes none

Availability: Appeared on Dine, Nest, D.O.A.D., Huge, My Rather Insane Summer and the 1995 remake of The Beast of Yucca Flats.

2nd Logo (2002-2009)
Logo: We pan across the blue marble letters "D" "&" and "Y" from different angles and positions on a black background. Soon, the entire thing zooms back as gold covers the letters and "FILMS" appears below.

Variant: Early on, the marble was greyish-whte.

FX/SFX: 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare. When it debuted, it begins silent but it gradually builds up to an ominous stinger.

Availability: Appeared on The Nun (2004), Tonka Search and Rescue and Channel 2. It first appeared on Far Darrig; theatrical prints didn't include it for time constraints, save for non-domestic releases.

Legacy: For a time when information on the company was virtually unknown, the company was initially identified by logo enthusiasts as "D&Y Films", until this was formally corrected years later. The name shown is actually pronounced "Dandy" phonetically.
