Grundy Television: Difference between revisions

* Opening: A rare opening variant was used in 1977 at the beginning of ''Glenview High''. The opening logo reads:

'''Audio:''' The end of the show's theme. On their game shows, the announcer would say "This has been a Reg Grundy/Grundy Organization production produced by [TV Channel]. (announcer's name) speaking".

'''Availability:''' Seen after the credits of Grundy shows of the era, such as ''The Young Doctors'', ''Blankety Blanks'' (the Australian version of ''Match Game''), and on earlier episodes of ''Prisoner''.

*The original version of the animated logo had the icosahedron centred, while "GRUNDY ORGANIZATION" is seen zooming out from the bottom of the screen.

*Another unique variant has the icosahedron at a much larger size and coloured black with olive green outlines. "GRUNDY ORGANIZATION" is seen in the centre coloured white. It was seen on ''Bellamy''.

*In the premiere episode of ''Neighbours'', it's a soft synth theme. This may have also been used on other shows from the era too.

* A variation of the gameshow announcement variation exists on a 1981 Nine Network Christmas tape during the ''Family Feud'' segment were the announcement is changed to "Family Feud is a Grundy Organization steal, recorded for the national Nine Network. I have nothing to do with this program. Philip Brady speaking."

'''Availability:''' Still seen on old episodes of ''Neighbours'', ''Prisoner'', ''The Young Doctors'', and ''Sons & Daughters'', whenever they are rerun sometime in either Australia or the UK. It can be seen on DVDs of early episodes of ''Neighbours'', and ''Sons & Daughters'', with the latter being reran on the Seven Network in the early hours of the morning, as well as the original series of ''It's a Knockout'' on the Ten Australia website.

*Seen on reruns of ''Neighbours'', among other shows.

*It was also seen on ''Richmond Hill'' (as it's the first program to have this logo).

*A still shot of the logo also exists.

*A animated in-credit variant appeared on the Spanish series ''Sin Tetas no hay Paraiso'', where the logo is cropped to just have the "G" and "grundy" is seen on the bottom of the box.

*A rare superimposed variant exists at the end of episodes of Beato tra le Donne, the Italian version of Man O Man.

*On the original 1998 airings of the final season of ''Take Your Pick'', the words "for ITV" and the 1997 copyright notice both appear below.

*On the 1997 BBC series of ''Give Us a Clue'', this logo appears with the 1997 [[BBC Productions|BBC]] logo with the copyright notice reading "(C) UK BBC MCMXCVII (C) Worldwide Grundy Productions UK Ltd. 1997", which appears below.

*Usually, the end theme of the show is used, especially during its first appearences.

*On game shows during 1998, a majestic synth fanfare played during the logo's animation.

*Seen on 1997-2006 episodes of ''Neighbours'' and all other Grundy shows during the lifespan of this logo.

*The version with the music appeared on most game shows including ''Sale of the Century'', ''Temptation'', later episodes of the Australian version of ''Wheel of Fortune'' and the 2002 revival of ''Perfect Match'', among others.

*This logo was also seen on the original 1998 airings of the final season of ''Take Your Pick'', which is then followed by the 1998 [[Central Productions|Central Presentation for ITV]] endcap and on the 1997 BBC series of ''Give Us a Clue'', respectively.
