We just recieved a print of "Chocolat" and noticed that on the leader, there are two white boxes before and after the title of the print. My question is this: What are the icons inside of those boxes for? Some of the reels had a Christmas Tree and others a bomb inside of the box. I have also noticed that different prints of "Meet The Parents" either had an "S" or a "W" inside of the box. Does anybody know what these mean? ------------------

Out of curiosity, was that print from Deluxe Hollywood or Deluxe Toronto? (I think if it's Toronto it should specifically say so on the Deluxe logo on the leader.) It seems like the folks at the Hollywood lab get pretty creative with the typefaces and styles they use in printing the titles on the leaders, though I can't remember if I've seen little drawings there before.

>>It seems like the folks at the Hollywood lab get pretty creative with the typefaces and styles they use in printing the titles<<That's Toronto that does that. Carryover from the good ol' Film House days, i'm sure 
DeLuxe Hollywood has the plain old ColoReel® coding with the plain-Jane one-block-letter-per-frame serif font and the slashes on the tails.
Ethan, its Toronto: see above.
