Background: This was a television distribution company established on early-1980s by John Blair. Also syndication unit of the TV sales representation agency Blair Television. Bought out in 1985 by Storer Communications and was acquired by New World Entertainment in 1993 following the merger of SCI Television.
(1982-1993)
Logo: The word "BLAIR," in yellow, flies to the top of the screen with trail effects (usually over the closing scene of the show). Under that, a yellow light writes out a red, cursive "Entertainment". A pair of lines is drawn both above and below the logo, and a stylized logo of some sort appears in the middle of the bottom pair. It is a white box with "JB", actually is the initials of the company's owner and creator, "John Blair " created by green, red, and blue boxes and lines. When the logo's completed, the background turns a shaded blue.
Variants:
FX/SFX: "BLAIR" flying, the rest of the logo being "drawn".
Music/Sounds: Starts with a "whoosh" as "BLAIR" flies, then three light, relaxing and peaceful long tones. After the first one, 3 digital-like notes are heard. Some versions had just two digital-like notes, and other versions are silent.
Availability: Rare. Appeared on some TV Shows from the '80s, such as Divorce Court, Break the Bank (1985 version), SCTV and syndicated prints of The Cisco Kid. The sped-up version can be found on the short lived 1990 series Dracula, which is on DVD. Also appears on the Celebrity's Just for Kids prints of the two Lollipop Dragon TV specials.
Scare Factor: Low, bordering on medium; the word "BLAIR" coming out of nowhere during the show's parting scene may be unnerving.
