Ron Samuels Productions

Background : This is Ron Samuels' vanity card.

1st Logo (October 23, 1980-October 16, 1982)

Logo : Outside in the canyon, we see a black horse standing up as the words " R ON S AMUELS" with two lines underneath and the word "PRODUCTIONS" sliding up from the bottom, and settles below the horse. The frame freezes before the logo fades out.

FX/SFX : The live-action horse, and the frame freezing.

Music/Sounds : An 8-note synth piano.

Availability : Seen on the TV movies The Last Song, Born to be Sold and Hotline, all starring Lynda Carter. The logo is strangely cut from most DVD prints of Born to be Sold.

Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo (September 27, 1986-August 22, 1987)

Logo : On a space background, we see the black words "RON SAMUELS" with a blue trail flying toward throughout the screen. The trail then moves to the bottom and then stopped. The outline on "RON SAMUELS" then appears. "PRODUCTIONS" then fades in, flashing it from white to blue, and then a blue glow appears on the "RON SAMUELS" text. The word "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" then appears below.

FX/SFX : The trail flying, the flashing.

Music/Sounds : A whoosh and a zap, followed by a short action-like synth theme.

Availability : Seen on the short-lived series Downtown and a failed pilot called Infiltrator which is part of the CBS Summer Playhouse.

Editor's Note : None.
