Bagdasarian Productions

Background: Bagdasarian Productions is a production company which holds the rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks and related intellectual property assets. It is owned and operated by Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. and Janice Karman. It is the successor to Bagdasarian Film Corporation, which was owned and founded by the late Alvin and the Chipmunks franchise creator and renaissance man Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (also known as David Seville).

(1961-1962)
Nickname: "Bagdasarian Had a Farm!", "B-A-G, D-A-S, A-R-I-A-N!"

Logo: We see a black rectangle against a red  background. The words "A PRESENTATION OF" (in white) are seen above it. Then the letters "Bagdasarian" appear one-by-one in rainbow colors with a purple  dot above the "i" to the beat of the music. The words "FILM CORPORATION" appear below it (also in white).

Variant: A earlier variant of this logo is in Black and White.

FX/SFX: The letters appearing.

Music/Sounds: A fanfare sounding similar to "Old MacDonald" that plays to the beat of the letters appearing.

Availability: Extremely rare. Seen only on the short-lived cartoon The Alvin Show. It appears on the current DVD release The Alvin Show! after each of the three episodes contained on the disc. It was also seen on the 1990s Alvin and the Chipmunks Sing-Alongs VHS releases from Buena Vista Home Video.

Scare Factor: None to minimal. It's a favorite of many.
