Telepictures Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' Here are the main versions of this Logo

*1980-1983: On a black background, we see the word "Telepictures" in white (in ITC Lubalin Graph Std Bold) emerging from the bottom of the screen followed by many "shadows" (blue in the color version), and moving up and "curving" down as if it was a roller coaster. When it stops in the middle, the "CORPORATION" (in ITC Lubalin Graph Std Demi) appears as always.

*1983-1986: Against a black background, numerous rectangles of different blue shades fly from the top and bottom of the screen and towards the middle, where they form a blue, horizontally segmented "Telepictures" logo. The word "CORPORATION" appears at the right below the logo, and all the words then turn white.

*On network television, the name appeared as "Telepictures PRODUCTIONS".

*The "rollercoaster" was later updated with smoother animation, "Telepictures" emerging more rapidly, a more vivid blue color, and, instead of the shadows constantly trailing, a limited number appearing and then piling into the logo.

'''Editor's Note:''' While the black background, drum roll, and flashing "CORPORATION" may not go well with everyone, it's still a favorite of many, featuring some very excellent slit-Scanimate animation. Its also somewhat unique for having at least 2 different versions of animation, but having the same end result.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, a square with a "T" in it (except the left tip of the "T" is separated from the rest of the letter in a little box) quickly changes colors in a blur, from yellow to orange to neon green, before it quickly flips around. When it stops, the "T" square turns black, and small black text appears underneath that says "TELEPICTURES PRODUCTIONS, INC." in spaced-out lettering. Then the separated part of the "T" (which is now on the right side) turns red.

'''Bylines:''' On 1992-1993 episodes of ''The Jenny Jones Show'' and ''The Jane Whitney Show'', either the byline "A TIME WARNER COMPANY" on early episodes or "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" on later episodes (in the same font used in the Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Bros. Television logos) fade in after the separated part of the "T" on the right side turns red.

'''FX/SFX:''' The "T" square changing colors, and flipping around.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, we see a circular logo in gray. Its border is gray on the top half and white on the bottom, and the inside's left half is grey and the right white. Inside is a "T", the left of which is white and right gray. The black text "TELEPICTURES" (in a Futura font) and "p r o d u c t i o n s" (spaced out and in italics) zooming out. A line and the black text "A TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" fades in below.

'''Editor's Note:''' This is another popular logo from Telepictures, featuring some pretty cool effects and interesting sounds. However, the zooming T may scare some people and may remind them of  the "[[Viacom (pre-2006)|V of Doom]]".

'''Logo:''' On a brown background, a gold bar zooms out of view as lights move in different directions. The gold bar is rotated, revealing that it is the pieces of the Telepictures logo, with the "T" cut in half (the logo resembles the 1993 version, with amendments made to its design). The parts of the "T" then join to form the whole "T" as the black and white circle fades-in, and the text "TELEPICTURES" rotates and zoom-out (like before it is set in Futura, but here it's a thicker weight). The logo then zooms-out slowly to its usual distance, with the Warner Bros. Entertainment byline fading-in.

'''Availability:''' Common. It's seen on post-2009 Telepictures shows currently in syndication such as ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'', ''Extra'', ''TMZ'', ''Judge Mathis'', and ''The Real''. Also appears on videos uploaded for the Tumblr blog ''DC All Access'', which are produced by Telepictures and on the 2016 revival of ''Mad TV''.
