First Pictures logo and theme

The First Pictures logo indeed is the "first picture" Steve drew in a scrapbook his parents gave him as a child.  

 

The First Pictures song featured at the end of all First Pictures films (the first few bars of Twinkle Twinkle) features an early singing effort of Steve's twins.
