1st Logo
(1985-1990)

Kline & FriendsKline and Friends (1985)

Logo: After the credits comes a superimposed logo that looks like this:

Kline and
Friends
Just like in the second logo, "and" is in a cursive font, over an ampersand that looks a lot like a bass clef you see on music sheets.

Variant: There is a white version of the logo that zooms out on a sparkly sunburst background that "shoots" out. This was seen on Break the Bank.

FX/SFX: The logo zooming out in the variant.

Music/Sounds: End theme, along with announcer:

  • Break the Bank: "Break the Bank is a Kline & Friends production, in association with Blair Entertainment, Storer Communications, and Hubbard Broadcasting, Incorporated." (v/o: Michael Hanks)
  • Win, Lose or Draw: "Win, Lose, or Draw is a Burt & Bert Production in association with Kline and Friends." (v/o: either Bob Hilton or Gene Wood)

Availability: The in-credit version can be found on Win, Lose, or Draw, while the variant can be found on the 1985 version of Break the Bank (and possibly the 1986 version of Strike it Rich with Joe Garagiola as well), with Blair Entertainment's logo coming after.

Scare Factor: Low, the zooming sunburst background in the variant might be harsh on the eyes.



2nd Logo
(1990-1999)

Kline and Friends (1990)

Logo: Superimposed in the credits, we see a logo arranged like so:

*KLINE*
and
FRIENDS
inc.
"KLINE" is in a curved font.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show. On Win, Lose or Draw, you would also hear an announcer say, "Win, Lose, or Draw is a Burt & Bert Production in association with Kline and Friends." For The Joker's Wild, the announcer (Ed MacKay) would say "The Joker's Wild is a Kline & Friends production in association with Jack Barry Productions."

FX/SFX: None.

Availability: Rare; last seen on Win Lose, or Draw, which last reran in 2002 on GSN. Also spotted on the 1990 Joker's Wild revival with Pat Finn (with glasses!)

Scare Factor: None.



3rd Logo
(1994-1998)

Logo: On a black background, we see the same logo from #2, but in 3D, and on an image of a swinging sign that tilts back and forth under a wooden hold.

Variant: Sometimes, one of the metal pieces snaps, and the logo tilts on its side.

FX/SFX: The swinging sign.

Music/Sounds: None usually (it tends to have the closing theme playing over), but the variant has a "squeak" sound when the logo comes apart.

Availability: Only known to be on Masters of the Maze and Pictionary.

Scare Factor: Low.
