Title: Favorite production company logo and announcer spiel?
Post by: danderson on June 16, 2018, 09:52:55 PM
I'll go with the Merv Griffin logo on Wheel of Fortune with the late Jack Clark-or the Reg Grundy logo with Jay Stewart. Those 2 were my favorites, but i'll add some of the Goodson-Todman ones with Johnny Olsen or Gene Wood.

"From Television City in Hollywood,  this is Gene Wood speaking for Family Feud!  A Mark Goodson television production! "  The Reg Grundy closings were unique.  "Chuck Woolery's wardrobe is provided by Pierre Cardin.  Scrabble, starring Chuck Woolery, is produced in association with Exposure Unlimited.  This program is based on the Scrabble brand crossword game.  This is Charley Tuna speaking."

Have to agree about the RG closings back then-"Sale of the Century is a Reg Grundy Production!" Add the fanfare, and that was a good closing logo. And i'll add the Procter and Gamble logo on soaps-not that i watched them regularly.

I always liked the Carruthers simplicity on Press Your Luck. Small logo, same typeface as the credits, nothing fancy.

Not really a favorite, but I thought that the way they spaced "A Bob Stewart Production" like a pyramid on the 80's series was clever.

Jay Wolpert Productions with the Robin Hood-like profile within the first letter was unique like many of his shows.

Also liked the Heatter-Quigley H-Q mashup as well.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

I was always partial to the 70s/80s Barry-Enright logo, with the interlocking B-E.

Which actually was their logo going back to the 1950s, as seen at 28:54 below:
