Logo
Logo[]
(1978-1984): Seven different angular shapes appear, forming an abstract "WGE", on a black background, in a light textured gray, one at a time, except for the "G" which quickly snakes to the right, up a little at an angle, and then straight up (and also appears last). The text "DISTRIBUTED BY WEISS GLOBAL ENTERPRISES", with all but the "DISTRIBUTED BY" in the Handel Gothic font fades in below the "WGE" after that.
Variants[]
- A color version of this logo exists. In it, the background is blue, and the metallic texture of the logo looks more detailed.
- There is a short version with no animation, and one with the full animation.
Music/Sounds[]
A wind, airplane-like sound effect and a droning sound both start to play, which lasts throughout the whole logo. Cheesy retro '80s arcade-style zapping sounds are heard during the formation of the "WGE" and the company name appearing. A buzzing sound during the droning is heard at the end, with some more wind sound effects included.The short version only has one "buzz" from this jingle playing throughout.
Music/Sounds Variant[]
A silent version has been reported at the start of I Married Joan and My Little Margie when they were shown on CBN (now Freeform) back in the early 80's.
