===Background=== | |||
'''Disney's Hollywood Studios''' is a theme park located at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. It was also a functioning production studio and was formerly known as "'''Disney-MGM Studios'''" from its 1989 inception until 2008, when it was renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios. Despite its former name, it was never affiliated with [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]], which only licensed the name to Disney, as part of a deal to increase public interest as well as to increase the variety of film representation in the park. | |||
===1st Logo (October 1991-1995?)=== | |||

'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|coral|peach}}/{{Font color|darkorchid|lavender}}-{{Font color|darkmagenta|magenta}}/{{Font color|salmon|salmon}} gradient background, we have a {{Font color|deepskyblue|sky blue}} bar with a {{Font color|red|red}} line above and below on the bar. Inside it says "DiSNEY·{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MGM'''}}" in white, with the word "DiSNEY" in its trademarked script font on the left, "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MGM'''}}" on the right, and a center dot in the middle. Below the bar is the word "{{Font color|red|{{Font|Broadway|STUDIOS}}}}" in the Broadway font in {{Font color|red|red}} with a shadow effect and in spaced-out letters. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' None. | |||
'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' The end title theme of the show. Later in the weeks on ''Wheel of Fortune'', Charlie O'Donnell would announce: | |||
*1991: "''Wheel of Fortune'' was taped at Disney·MGM Studios in Florida (on the 1991 Merv Griffin Enterprises logo) and is a Merv Griffin Enterprises Production, (on the 1990 King World logo) distributed by King World.". | |||
*1992-1994?: "Production facilities provided by Disney-MGM Studios.". | |||
'''Availability:''' Extinct. It was seen on ''Wheel of Fortune'' episodes that were taped at the Disney-MGM Studios. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' None. | |||

'''Nicknames:''' "The Earful Tower", "Disney Tower", "Mickey Tower", "Disney World!", "The Disney World Tower" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a dusk background, we see a Mickey Mouse-shaped water tower with the text "{{Font color|dodgerblue|''{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Videotaped at'''}}''}}" or "{{Font color|dodgerblue|''{{Font|Times New Roman|'''Produced at'''}}''}}" over it. The tower has "{{Font color|dodgerblue|DiSNEY·{{Font|Times New Roman|'''MGM'''}}}} {{Font color|red|{{Font|Broadway|STUDIOS}}}}" on it. The Mickey ears on the tower have blinking lights on them, and one corner of it is covered by leaves from a tree under the tower. | |||
'''Trivia:''' The Water Tower in this logo was actually a real tower formerly located at Disney's Hollywood Studios (the current name for "Disney-MGM Studios") at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The logo also appeared on the opening of the Disney-MGM studios' first day, but without the text (excluding the text on the tower). | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The lights on the tower. | |||
'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' An off-camera voice-over says "Videotaped at the Disney-MGM Studios, Lake Buena Vista, Florida" or "''The Mickey Mouse Club''/''MMC'' was taped before a live studio audience at the Disney-MGM Studios, Lake Buena Vista, Florida." The former voice variant is done by Patrick Richwood, using his voice for the White Rabbit from ''Adventures in Wonderland''. Oddly enough, season 1 and 2 episodes of ''Mickey Mouse Club'' did not have a voiceover. | |||
'''Availability:''' Rare. This logo was last seen on ''Mickey Mouse Club'' and ''Adventures in Wonderland''. Can still be seen on old VHS tapes of ''Adventures in Wonderland''. Also seen on episodes of ''WCW Worldwide'' in 1995. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' This is a favorite of many. | |||
===3rd Logo (April 28-May 5, 1995)=== | |||
[[File:Disney-MGM Studios (1995).png|center|350px]] | |||
'''Nicknames:''' "The Unknown Lion", "Mickey and the Lion", "The Disney Lion" | |||
'''Logo:''' We see a panning overhead shot of the then-current Disney-MGM Studios. Suddenly, a slightly modified version of the print Disney-MGM Studios logo (as seen on the first logo) zooms up to the screen, with Mickey holding a clapperboard between "DiSNEY" and "MGM" and the [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] logo on the bar (minus the wreath and mask and with an unknown lion inside the circle). The background then turns black. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The overhead shot, the logo zooming in, and the background changing. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Jo Marie Payton as Harriette Winslow from ''Family Matters'' says "Production Services for ''Family Matters'' provided by Disney-MGM Studios in Florida" while a standard music cue for the show plays in the background. | |||
'''Availability:''' Rare. Only seen on the two-part ''Family Matters'' special "We're Going to Disney World". This logo may be preserved on the ''Family Matters'' Season 6 DVD set. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' None. | |||
