Background: Belisarius Productions is the production company for the creator Donald Bellisario.
(1983-)
Nicknames: "Sand Lightstorm", "BELISARIVS-BELISARIUS"
Logo: We see a wretched stone with sand on it, which blows off to reveal "BELISARIVS". Then, a flash suddenly appears, causing the background to turn black, the name to turn into "BELISARIUS" and the name in silver, shining, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" to appear under "BELISARIUS". "BELISARIUS" is in a silver Times New Roman font.
Variant: On "JAG", the words "In Association With" appears under the logo.
FX: The name being revealed, the flash causing the background and the name to change, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" to appear, the "BELISARIUS" name "shining".
Cheesy Factor: The "BELISARIVS-BELISARIUS" CGI effect is awfully dated, and the music doesn't age well with time either.
Music/Sounds: "Air" is played in the background, then a "WHOOSH" is heard as the flash appears, and a synthesizer tone is heard after the WHOOSH.
Availability: Seen on all shows produced by this producer company from 1983 to present, included "Airwolf", as well as "Quantum Leap", and new episodes of "NCIS" on CBS. It also appeared on "JAG", which is no longer seen on TV.
Scare Factor: Medium; the flash and synth can be rather jarring, and not only that, it's followed by the scary Universal Television logo from 1975-1991 at the end of "Airwolf" and also on the 1st three seasons of "Quantum Leap" from early 1989-91.
