King World Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|black|black}} background, we see a {{Font color|grey|grey}} abstract crown motif zooming in. Then two {{Font color|grey|grey}} letters, a "{{Font color|grey|'''K'''}}" and a "{{Font color|grey|'''P'''}}", slide towards the crown from the left and right of the screen and connect to it, after which the bottom part of the crown fades out, turning it into a "{{Font color|grey|'''W'''}}", and the text "A KING WORLD PRODUCTIONS Release" fades in.

* It’s rumored that a color version exists where the background is {{Font color|saddlebrown|Brown}} and the KWP logo and texts are {{Font color|gold|Yellow}}. A version is also rumored to exist where the text just says the company’s name.

*On the 2nd ''Jeopardy!'' pilot from January 8, 1984, the text appears on a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background with white lettering.

'''Logo:''' Over a {{Font color|purple|violet}} space background with lots of stars, we see tons of thin light rays in shades of {{Font color|blue|blue}} and {{Font color|lime|green}} coming from a source of light in the center, as an {{Font color|deepskyblue|azure}} star comes out from the source of light and flies up and the words "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|K}}ING'''''}}" and "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" (in the same color of the star) in Boost SSi Italic, slide in from the left and the right, respectively, as the entire logo begins to zoom out. The star moves to the bottom of the "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}'''''}}" in "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}", then a set of 3 {{Font color|blue|blue}} bars start forming below the star and the "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}'''''}}", eventually extending through the length of "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" and being perfectly positioned with the ends as the stars fade out. The logo shines in the end.

* A variant on the first season of ''Jeopardy!'' features a white version of the logo with "Distributed By" above on a {{Font color|#00058c|navy blue}} background.

'''Logo:''' On a backdrop of vertical bars that resemble a doorway (with four {{Font color|#6b3e00|brown}} bars on both sides of the screen, one {{color|red}} bar inside each of them, and a {{Font color|blue|blue}} gradient resembling the open "door") we see "{{Font color|silver|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" in {{Font color|silver|silver}} and in the same font as the previous logo, on the center of the screen, with 2 sets of 3 {{Font color|silver|silver}} bars that switch sides below. At the same time, a {{Font color|silver|silver}} triangle rotates as it moves towards the 2 sets of lines and settles between them, with the negative space between the triangle, lines and "{{Font color|silver|'''''{{Big|W}}'''''}}" forming a star. After the space is formed, a white star briefly flashes inside and fades out.

* There is an extended variant of the logo, where we see a background with colorful stripes and a large {{Font color|peru|tan}} star shaped like the one in the logo, and the doorway background animates into place and the spotlights shoot up from the bottom of the screen as the words "{{Font color|silver|'''''{{Big|K}}ING'''''}}" and "{{Font color|silver|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" in 2-D fly into the screen a la the [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Video]] logo (with "{{Font color|silver|'''''{{Big|K}}ING'''''}}" going from right to left, and "{{Font color|silver|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" going from left to right). A long version appears as the rest of the logo proceeds as normal as the words "{{Font color|silver|'''DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" or "{{Font color|silver|'''PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" fade in at the top. This was seen on episodes of ''Jeopardy!'' (October 1990-October 1992), ''Inside Edition'', a news magazine called ''Instant Recall'' from 1990-1992, and the 1991-92 version of ''Candid Camera'' (also known as ''The All-New Candid Camera'').

* A short variant exists where the logo starts as the {{Font color|silver|silver}} bars switch sides. This was most commonly seen only on season 9 and early season 10 episodes of ''Wheel of Fortune'' until October 1992.

* There is a shorter version of the logo where "{{Font color|silver|'''DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" or "{{Font color|silver|'''PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" already appears at the top and the logo is already formed. It starts at the place where the star flashes in the star space.

* The logo fades to black early on some season 9 episodes of ''Wheel of Fortune'' and sometimes before the words "{{Font color|silver|'''DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" fade in.

* At the beginning of some movies, the long version plays with "{{Font color|silver|'''PRESENTS'''}}" in silver fading in as the logo is forming.

'''Logo:''' A modified rendition of the 4th and 5th logos. Over a {{Font color|#baae00|golden}} cloudy sunset backdrop, the "{{Font color|#00007a|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" wordmark, which is in a different font this time, scans through the sky. As it pans backward, a shooting star glides by the logo, revealing a paint streak and a star shape in the center. The sun shines from behind the logo, revealing either "{{Font color|#00007a|DISTRIBUTED BY}}", "{{Font color|#00007a|PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY}}", or nothing at all above the logo.

'''Logo:''' Over a {{Font color|#00a2ff|blue}} sky, above the clouds, we see the "{{Font color|blue|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" wordmark in the same font as the previous logo, but tilted up and redone in 3-D with a {{Font color|silver|silver}} trim. It flies outward and settles itself in the center, and a shooting star flies under the text, leaving the same {{Font color|blue|blue}} paint streak with a star-shaped gap in it from the previous logo. The text "''DISTRIBUTED BY''" or "''PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY''", or nothing at all, appear above the wordmark, in a smaller font this time.

*The text "{{Font color|blue|'''''PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED BY KINGWORLD'''''}}" is seen below the logo on the sizzle reel of the short-lived game show ''Combination Lock''.
