(1969-1975): In a white background, a rapidly spinning black vortex comes from the left and stops in the middle, rapidly spinning clockwise as it does so. after a few more seconds. The vortex zooms back and shifts to the right while spinning. As this does so, the letters "a p i" in purple (the letters themselves resemble Futura) began zooming from all sides of the screen until coming together. The camera zooms out and in and out as this happens. The vortex begins to spin next to the "i" until it comes to a complete stop, which makes the "i" overlap one of the tips of the vortex. the words "TELEVISION PRODUCTION" appears on the bottom of the text and vortex, set in Microgramma.

Variants[]

  • In the very ending of Arthur! and the Square Knights of the Round Table closing credits, after King Arthur falls off the stage, the camera zooms-in to the (white) background of the stage, and the logo begins.
  • Some projects superimposed the print logo with an in-credit notice.

Music/Sounds[]

A whooshing synth note when the vortex comes, followed by a sped-up/+12 pitch version of a classic Hanna-Barbera descending synth sound, and 3 loud synth dings when the letters come, ending with a timpani drum solo.

Scare Factor[]

Medium to high. The zooming in and out, the somewhat loud and weird music and the rapid speed of the vortex's spinning can scare more than a few first-time and unsuspecting viewers, not to mention the spinning may make you dizzy. None for the in-credit notices.
