Katie Face Productions

(January 14, 1991-September 15, 2006)

Logo : On a black background, the red text "Katie Face" writes itself in a shiny cursive font. Then, the word "PRODUCTIONS" fades in underneath near the right.

Trivia : In a 1995 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Tony Danza said that the logo is a homage to his "upbringing in parochial schools, where they stressed penmanship.”

Variants :


 * On the 2004 version of The Tony Danza Show, the logo animates at the bottom of a sketch of a girl in profile. A still version of the variant appeared on the TV movie, Crowned and Dangerous.
 * On Sudden Terror: The Hijacking of School Bus #17, the logo is still.

FX/SFX : The text writing, and "PRODUCTIONS" appearing.

Music/Sounds : An upbeat 8-note softshoe theme, perhaps referencing Tony Danza's profession in tapdancing.

Music/Sounds Variants :


 * On TV movies, it usually used the closing theme of the movie.
 * On The Whereabouts of Jenny and Before They Were Stars, it used an extended, re-arranged version of the music.

Availability : First appeared on the TV movie, The Whereabouts of Jenny and was also seen on Hudson Street, Before They Were Stars, and the 2004 version of The Tony Danza Show, as well as some TV movies such as Bermuda Triangle and Crowned and Dangerous.

Editor's Note : Red text writing on black backgrounds isn't a calming combination for many people, and the music may also catch some off-guard, but it's otherwise harmless.
