Logo[]
(1979-1994): On a harvest gold background, resembling that of kitchen appliances back in the late 70s and throughout the 80s, the following text zooms to the center of the screen:
DISTRIBUTED BY
D.L. TAFFNER
SYNDICATION SALES
The words are in the same font used in the Three’s Company credits, and the zoom-up is a lot like the Viacom “V of Doom” logo, except you can make out sort of a rollercoaster effect (think of it as the Telepictures “Rollercoaster Shadows” logo, but upside-down without the shadows, almost).
Trivia[]
This never appeared after Three’s Company on its original ABC run. This logo was used for syndication of that show only, like the logo suggested.
Variants[]
- Originally, the logo didn't have the rollercoaster effect. It zoomed in a downward fashion.
- Depending on the source, the text is placed on an orange background.
Music/Sounds[]
None.
Scare Factor[]
Minimal to medium. The silence combined with the ugly text along with that very cheap zoom-in may catch some first-time, unsupecting and unaware viewers off guard, but it's nothing worth writing home about.
