Nothing Can Go Wrong Now Productions
(March 30, 2003-June 17, 2005)

Nicknames: "The Teal Car", "The Ironic Company Name", "What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"

Logo: We see an old, teal-colored car with a beige roof drive off a cliff and into the water below (the car comes in from the left of the screen, and even does a full 180-degree frontflip and lands upside down). "Nothing Can Go Wrong Now Productions" is shown below in the Hobo font.

Trivia:
 * On Complete Savages, the logo cuts straight to the shortened Icon Productions logo right when the car hits the water, so that the thunder sound-effect on that logo seems to "complete" this logo's audio.
 * The footage is a sped-up alternate angle shot of a stunt from the 1977 movie The Domino Principle, in which after putting two dead bodies in the car, Gene Hackman's character pushes it off the cliff. The original clip can be seen here.

FX/SFX: It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the car sputtering and a man and a woman unconvincingly yelling "AAAAAHHHHHH!".

Availability: Rare. This was only seen on Complete Savages and The Pitts.

Paul Fusco Productions
Background: This is the vanity card of Paul Fusco, better known as one of the creators of ALF.

(1996-2004)

Nicknames: "The Hat and Wand", "Magician's Tricks"

Logo: On a blue background, we see a CG magician's top hat sitting upside down on a table. The wand is perched atop it. The text "Paul Fusco Productions" is superimposed in gold letters at the top of the screen.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Silence or the end theme of the show. On ABC's original airing of Project: ALF, the end of the credits music played over it. Since the DVD contains the original, unedited version, the logo is silent.

Availability: Rare. The only places you could find this logo were the 1996 TV film Project: ALF and the short-lived 2004 series ALF's Hit Talk Show. The logo is preserved on the DVD of the former.

Popular Arts Entertainment
(1995- )

Nickname: "Reservoir Dogs Rip-Off"

Logo: On a crumbled up background with a yellow tint, we see unknown city-like objects along with four transparent men walking wearing fedoras and suits on the bottom, each lower than the last. In the foreground, we see the four men, much smaller, filled in with color above the text "POPULAR ARTS" with "ENTERTAINMENT" below.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Uncommon. Only seen on Starz Movie News and Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist.

Surfing Moose Productions
Background: Surfing Moose Productions is a production company based in Nashville, Tennessee.

(2009- )

Nickname: "Surfing Moose"

Logo: On a white and blue background with the Words “Surfing Moose” and a abstract surfing moose, a figure of a cute-looking moose in trunks and a yellow surf board endures a wave of water. The moose floats back up after being underwater.

FX/SFX: The moose and water are CGI.

Music/Sounds: Whatever country song is used in the credits.

Availability: Only seen on Headline Country.

Ten Four Productions
(1978-1991)

Nickname: "Yellow (Neon) O"

Logo: Against a black background, a large yellow ring is drawn in. It then zooms out to show that it is the inner line for the "O" in the dark purple text

TEN

FOUR

written in a double-lined "neon" font (similar to Procter & Gamble Productions' 1986 "PGP" logo). "A" and "PRODUCTION", in white and blue, respectively, and in the same font as the text (only much smaller) appear, with "A" appearing above the "F" and "PRODUCTION" appearing below.

FX/SFX: The "O" forming and the zoom-out.

Music/Sounds: A 7-note horn fanfare. Replaced in 1988 by a swoosh sounding jingle.

Availability: Can be seen on the 1988 series, The War of the Worlds. Also seen on other television shows and TV movies.

Ten Thirteen Productions
Background: Ten Thirteen Productions is the production company founded by Chris Carter, the creator of Fox's The X-Files, in 1993, Millennium in 1996, and The Lone Gunmen in 2001.

(September 10, 1993-March 21, 2018)

Nicknames: "I Made This!", "Filmreel"

Logo: In a blurred, typewriter font (ITC American Typewriter), the text "TEN THIRTEEN PRODUCTIONS" is seen on a black background with "PRODUCTIONS" below "TEN THIRTEEN". "in association with" sometimes appears below.

Trivia:
 * The voice of the boy is supplied by Nathan Couturier, the son of the show's supervising sound editor, Thierry Couturier.
 * The name of the company is a reference to creator Chris Carter's birthdate of October 13th (10/13).

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: Originally none, but later it gained the sound of a film reel running, followed by a boy saying "I made this!".

Availability: Can be seen on The X-Files (including its revival seasons in 2016 and 2018), Millennium and The Lone Gunmen.

Editor's Note: The recording quality is a little off, but was done purposely. The atmosphere and sounds can be more than a little creepy, but it’s a popular logo with fans of The X-Files.

Thunder Pictures
(1991-1994)

Nicknames: "The Thunderbolt", "Touchstone Pictures Rip-Off", "Castle Thunder"

Logo: On a white background, we see a blue ball with the word "THUNDER" to the left of it, and the word "PICTURES" to the right of it. Then, a yellow, cheesy-looking lightning bolt appears in the middle of the blue ball and begins to move up and down like a bolt of electricity. Under it is the copyright notice. We then fade out to the Nickelodeon Studios Florida ending logo.

FX/SFX: The thunderbolt.

Music/Sounds: The classic "castle thunder" lightning sound effect, heard when the lightning bolt appears.

Availability: Only seen on Clarissa Explains it All, and retained on the show's only DVD release.
