Josephson Entertainment/Summary

Background : This is Barry Josephson's production company. 1st Logo (September 13, 2005-June 11, 2015)

Logo : On a black background, we see a blue rectangular plate with a spotlight moving toward over the plate, shining toward the screen. The name "JOSEPHSON" in a metallic relief and serif font, then a line under it, colored white, and "entertainment" in light blue, and in a different font fades in, and then the light shines and flashes toward the company name, then the light towards the name disappears. The logo zooms in slowly.

Variant : For TV shows, the company name is already formed, and we see the light moving toward the plate in warp speed. The logo also didn't zoom in.

FX/SFX : The light moving over the plate.

Music/Sounds :
 * September 13, 2005-May 17, 2006: A sound of birds chirping.
 * August 30, 2006-May 14, 2012: A whoosh sound with a synth theme in a background.
 * September 17, 2012-June 11, 2015: An electric guitar pedal sound.
 * On Enchanted, the logo is silent.

Availability : Appears on Bones. Also appears at the end of Enchanted, the ultra short-lived series Head Cases and The Finder, and the first two seasons of Turn: Washington's Spies.

Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo (October 1, 2015-)

Logo : On a black background, we see the camera panning through the words "JOSEPHSON", which is in a Franklin Gothic font, colored light blue, which travels through light. The camera then zooms out, and the light moves toward and forms the metallic light blue words "ENTERTAINMENT" in spaced-out letters and to fit the width of "JOSEPHSON". The light flickers, and then disappears. The text shines, and the second "O" in "JOSEPHSON" blinks.

Variants :


 * A short version exists for TV shows. Here, the text is already formed and the "O" just blinks.


 * On The Tick, the logo is shown at the bottom, rather than at the center of the screen.

FX/SFX : The O blinking.

Music/Sounds : A guitar riff, with whooshes with a cartoon blinking sound.

Availability : Appears on Dirty Grandpa, the last two seasons of Bones, the 2017 version of The Tick and the third season of Turn: Washington's Spies.

Editor's Note : None.
