'''Lorimar''' was formed initially as "Lorimar Productions" on February 1, 1969 by Merv Adelson, Irwin Molasky, and producer Lee Rich, who named the company after Adelson's ex-wife '''Lori''', and San Diego, California's Palo'''mar''' Airport. Their first production was the TV movie ''The Homecoming'' (now owned by [[CBS Studios]]), based on the book by Earl Hamner. Their first logo did not appear until 1971 when ''The Waltons'' premiered. On April 21, 1986, it merged with [[Telepictures Productions|Telepictures Corporation]] and later became Lorimar-Telepictures Corporation (or just simply "[[Lorimar-Telepictures]]"). In 1987, the television production companies were later split back in two companies and Lorimar was reincorporated as Lorimar Television, but "Lorimar-Telepictures" remained as the name for their parent company. On January 12, 1989, Warner Communications (later "Time Warner" and "WarnerMedia", now "Warner Bros. Discovery") acquired Lorimar-Telepictures and both distribution arms were folded into [[Warner Bros. Television|Warner Bros. Television Distribution]] by forming "Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution" and continued producing the surviving TV shows. The Lorimar name continued until mid-1993, when it was folded into Warner Bros. Television. However, WBTV continued producing the remaining programs under its name. | '''Lorimar''' was formed initially as "Lorimar Productions" on February 1, 1969 by Merv Adelson, Irwin Molasky, and producer Lee Rich, who named the company after Adelson's ex-wife '''Lori''', and San Diego, California's Palo'''mar''' Airport.

'''Editor's Note:''' It's noted for unnerving some viewers for the black background and jingle, but at the same time, it's still a favorite among logo fans for its good 2D animation, as well as impeccable timing with the music. | '''Editor's Note:''' It's noted for unnerving some viewers for the black background and jingle, but at the same time, it's still a favorite among logo fans for its good 2D animation, as well as impeccable timing with the music. | ||
