Logo Pictures by Eric S. and Others

(1984-1993)


Nickname: "The D Spiral"

Logo: On a blue/black gradient background, a gold ribbon emerges from the top of the screen and "draws" to the center of the screen really quickly, making a spiral. The spiral then twists into a stylized "D" and zooms out while moving to the left side of the screen. "OBSON PRODUCTIONS", in white, then slides to the right from the "D".

Variants:

• Once the logo is done (it is widely confused for being still, but only the text sliding or wiping in is shown), either a copyright shows at the bottom (which may credit Bridget and Jerome Dobson) or "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" shows at the bottom, cutting to the 1989 New World Logo and having the New World or Dobson music play during both logos.
• There is another version of this logo which has a blue/white gradient background, and the text (in gold) simply wipes in from left to right.
• There is also a still version of the logo.

FX: The ribbon moving, the animation for the "D", the zooming and sliding.

Music/Sounds: A triumphant 4-note synthesized brass fanfare with drumbeats, intended to resemble the "Santa Barbara" opening theme. From 1989-1993, it used the New World jingle; that pretty much fits with both logos.

Availability: Uncommon; seen on the soap opera "Santa Barbara".

Scare Factor: Low for the animated variant, and none for the still variant.
