Logo descriptions by AsdfTheRevival

Logo captures by AsdfTheRevival and others

1st Logo (October 18, 1988-May 2, 1989)

Logo: On a blue background, we see the words "WIND DANCER PRODUCTIONS, INC." in Bauhaus 93. Right below it are the words "in association with" in the same font.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Usually had the show's outro, but in some cases it is silent.

Availability: Expect it on the first season of Roseanne when it is reran on local syndication and TV Land. It is also intact and in high resolution on the DVD box set of the first season (both the original Anchor Bay release and the Mill Creek reissue).

Scare Factor: Low. It depends on what you think of the look of the logo, but it's mainly harmless.

2nd Logo (March 31, 1990-September 21, 1994, October 18, 1994)

Nicknames: "Neon Dove", "Aurora Dove"

Logo: On a purplish marble background, we see a crack. The crack suddenly expands, while pink light shines through it. When the crack finishes, it morphs into the shape of a dove with thousands of neon colors shining through. The colors then keep moving. While all this is happening, the text "Wind Dancer PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears in blue, with "Wind Dancer" in a cursive font. Some TV shows include a spark flying.

FX/SFX: The crack morphing into the dove, the colors moving.

Music/Sounds: Had a wind-like sound with some chimes when the crack morphs into a dove.

Availability: Still intact on the first three seasons of Home Improvement on DVD and in local syndication. Surprisingly, this logo also appeared on two season 4 episodes, "Back in the Saddle Shoes Again" and "He Ain't Heavy, He's Just Irresponsible". This also appeared on Carol & Company.

Scare Factor: Minimal. Some people may be caught off guard with the neon colors and chimes, but this logo is very well done for the time period and is a favorite of many.

3rd Logo (September 27, 1994-May 20, 1997)

Logo: On a black background, the words (in CGI) "WIND DANCER PRODUCTION GROUP" zoom in and change from a bluish color to a shady mix of pink, purple, blue, and some orange.

Variant: On season 5 of Home Improvement, the background is gray gradient.

FX/SFX: The zooming and color changing.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of wind chimes.

Availability: Seen on seasons 4-6 of Home Improvement on DVD and in local syndication beginning with the episode "Don't Tell Momma".

Scare Factor: Minimal. The wind chimes may scare some, but this is one of the most boring of all the Wind Dancer logos.

4th Logo (September 23, 1997-May 25, 1999)

Nicknames: "The Feather", "CGI Feather"

Logo: We see what appears to be a lake. A large feather is seen. The feather then touches the lake, bounces back up, and the scene becomes enclosed in a box shape (kind of like a bell tower) while the text "WIND DANCER PRODUCTION GROUP" zooms in.

Variant: There is a variant where the text says "WIND DANCER FILMS" with two lines below.

FX/SFX: The feather touching the lake.

Music/Sounds: Had a majestic string piece accompanied by a 4 note flute tune. Occasionally, just the flute would be heard. ABC airings starting in fall 1998 would use it's generic theme.

Availability: Still intact on the final two seasons of Home Improvement on DVD and local syndication, and other shows produced by Wind Dancer.

Scare Factor: None. The music is really considered comforting.
