Logo Pictures by Eric S.
Editions by Nathan B. and others
Charles Fries Productions
Note: "Fries" is actually pronounced "freeze" as in "freezing" and "freeze tag".tag", not "french fires".
1st Logo
(1970s)
Logo: On a blue background, we see the letters C, F, and P arranged in an abstract format. The text "Charles Fries Productions Inc." appears to the right of it.
Variant: There was a variation with a lighter blue background and yellow ''C'', ''F'' and ''P''. Also, ''A Charles Fries Production'' appears instead of ''Charlie Fries Productions, Inc.''. It's also in yellow. Only known to be seen on High Noon, Part II (1980).
FX: None; it's a still logo.
Music/Sounds: None, or the ending theme of the show.
Availability: Rare.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(Mid 1980s)
Logo: On a indigo or light blue background, we see a diamond-like symbol appearing on the screen. It spins and zooms out to the upper left. The text "CHARLES FRIES PRODUCTIONS INC." fades below, along with the byline "A FRIES ENTERPRISES COMPANY".
FX: The diamond spinning out.
Music/Sounds: A five-note synth tune.
Availability: Only seen on Jealousy so far. Other shows with this logo are still to be found.
Scare Factor: Minimal.
Fries Entertainment
1st Logo
(1985-1996)
Logo: On a black background, several sets of silver bar segments, varying in length, fly down from the top of the screen as they rotate to face us. The symbol from the previous logo flips into the empty space in the middle from the right, and the words "FRIES ENTERTAINMENT" appears.
FX: The logo forming.
Music/Sounds: None, or the ending theme of the show.
Availability: Rare. Appears on TV movies produced by Charles Fries from the period.
Scare Factor: None.
Fries Enterprises
1st Logo
(197?-????)
Logo: Just an in-credit logo. We see the symbol from the previous logo, followed by a "FE" made of lines. In the same line, "FRIES ENTERPRISES" is seen.
FX: None, just the logo scrolling
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.
Availability: Rare. Appears on TV movies produced by Charles Fries from the period.
Scare Factor: None.
Fries Distribution Company
1st Logo
(1980-Late '80s)
Logo: On a black BG, we see some yellow stripes in diminishing sizes rapidly drawing onto the screen drawing, alternating left to right. They stop about 2/3 of the way. Then, a white Fries logo comes in from the right and stops in the center. "FRIES DISTRIBUTION COMPANY" and "a subsidiary of Fries Entertainment Inc." appear below in red.
FX: The drawing of the lines, the logo flipping in...
Cheesy Factor: ...which are nothing more than cheap, choppy 2D animation.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Rare; was only known to be seen on Bill. Was recently preserved on an airing of said film with the current FremantleMedia logo following.
Scare Factor: None to minimal.
2nd Logo
(Late '80s-19??)
Logo: On a black background, several sets of silver bar segments, varying in length, fly down from the top of the screen as they rotate to face us. The symbol from the logo of Fries Entertainment flips into the empty space in the middle from the right, and the words "FRIES DISTRIBUTION COMPANY" flip in. The byline "a subsidiary of Fries Entertainment Inc." fades in below. It looks similar to the Fries Entertainment logo
Variants:
Music/Sounds: A synth-trumpet fanfare that sounds like a superhero's theme. Otherwise silent or with the ending theme playing over it. Sometimes has an anounncer over the music.
Availability: Rare. Last seen on Intimate Betrayal (1987) on Encore Mystery.
Scare Factor: Low, the music may catch you off guard, (esspecialy for first time viewers.) but this logo is harmless. None for the silent version.
