Viacom Productions: Difference between revisions

* The color version turned up on many season 11 and 12 episodes of ''My Three Sons'' on Odyssey Network/The Hallmark Channel back in the early 2000s. Many variations have also been spotted on these episodes when shown on Me-TV, as part of an unusual combo with the 2007 CBS Television Distribution logo preceding it (with the exception of one episode, S12 E23, which first aired on August 2, 2018). These sightings mark the first known time this Viacom logo has been seen on national American television since the Odyssey/Hallmark airings from the early 2000s.

** In [https://web.archive.org/web/20021109004220/http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/closinglogo/viacom.html the original 2002 write-up of this article], it was suggested that the same prints of ''My Three Sons'' that had this logo had aired on Nick at Nite between 1988 and 1990.

* The dark variant was spotted on several color episodes of ''My Three Sons'' and the Magnetic Video VHS release of ''5 Terrytoon Cartoons Featuring Heckle and Jeckle''.

* This logo can also be found on earlier 16mm syndication dupes of shows/movies distributed by Viacom, mostly before 1976, which occasionally appear on eBay. Such shows include: ''My Three Sons'', ''Hogan's Heroes'', and ''The Beverly Hillbillies''.

** It can also be found on the U.S. VHS release of ''The Andy Griffith Show'' by Premier Promotions.

** This logo has also been sighted on a DVD release from Mill Creek, '100 Awesomely Cheesy Movies', which is a repackaging of another two Mill Creek DVD sets. On "The Swingin' Seventies" section of the DVD, the 1970 TV movie adaptation of ''Jane Eyre'' retains the color logo at the end.

'''Legacy:''' This logo isn't anywhere close to being as well known (or feared) as its successors, not only because of its short lifespan but also because it was commonly plastered with newer logos. The pinball sounds in this logo gave it the nickname "Pinball".
