The Logo(1975-1979)

1st logo (1971-1975)

On a white background, a blue circle zooms towards us and stops in place. Then three colored vertical rectangles slide in from the top and bottom of the screen from right to left and stop in place over the circle; red from the bottom, yellow from the top, and blue from the bottom. The red and blue rectangles then slide across each other and swap places, with the red rectangle forming an "a", and the blue on forming a "p". The yellow rectangle stays in place, thus forming the letters "alp". A second later, the stacked words "ALAN LANDSBURG PRODUCTIONS" appear below the letters.

2nd logo (1975-1980)

Over a black background, we see a director's slate. 5 arrows facing to the right appear on screen on segment at a time. The top half of the slate then rises, and rapidly drops down and hits the bottom half. This changes the top half into the words:

ALAN

LANDSBURG

The top half of the slate (ALAN LANDSBURG) rises again, then drops down once more. This causes the bottom half to change into the word "PRODUCTIONS". Another slate pops in on top of the words in traffic arrow fashion.

Variants

• There was also a still shot of the logo.
• On some episodes of In Search of... and the TV movie It Happened at Lakewood Manor, the logo is cut to where the top half of the slate ("ALAN LANDSBURG") reveals "PRODUCTIONS".

3rd logo (1979-1985)

On a black background is a stylized blue "ALP" similar to the font seen in the Reeves Entertainment "REG" logo. Then it is blacked out, revealing behind it:

A Reeves Communications Company

Music/Sounds

1st logo

A catchy synth xylophone theme.

2nd logo

• The sound effects of a camera shutter as the segmented lines appear, followed by a clapperboard sound during the respective action. The end-title theme from any show is sometimes heard on some programs or silence.
• On the DVD release of Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo, the short version of the music from the 3rd logo plays over this logo, followed by the logo for Fremantle Media North America.

3rd logo

A synthesizer stinger. There were three versions of this theme.

Music/Sounds Variants

• On Jaws 3, the logo is silent.
• Sometimes, it's the end-title theme. This appears on productions such as the U.S. adaptation of The Krypton Factor, season 1 of Kate & Allie, the first two seasons of Gimme a Break!, and the short-lived series No Soap, Radio.

Scare Factor

Alan Landsburg Productions-Reeves Entertainment Logo Histoy

1st logo

Low.

2nd logo

Depends on the variant:

• Low to medium for the original variant. The shutter snap may be unnerving.
• Minimal to low with the closing theme.
• Low with the 1979 theme.

3rd logo

Low. The music is actually very memorable.
