Editions and logo captures by Michael Bass

(1976-1981?)


Nickname: "The Hummingbird"

Logo: On a blue background, a 2D drawing of a hummingbird flutters to the right, leaving behind the words "Lin Bolen" in a cursive font you might have seen on old cars of the 1950's (or even grocery stores). "Lin Bolen" drops down a bit, and the hummingbird faces to the left. "A" and "PRODUCTION" then zoom out quickly, and the hummingbird flutters its wings a little more, then we quickly fade out. A copyright date stays on screen throughout.

FX/SFX: The hummingbird flying, "Lin Bolen" appearing...

Cheesy Factor: ...which is typical 1970's scanimation.

Music: A downward Moog synthesizer jingle.

Availability: Very rare; appeared on a 1976 NBC game show called Stumpers! This might also appear on the 1981 TV movie Golden Gate.

Scare Factor: Minimal; the music is a tad creepy, but the logo looks pretty cute.
