Scotti-Vinnedge Television (1990)


Nicknames: "The Cougar", "The Mountain Lion"

Logo
: On a white background, we see a circle that has a profile of a cougar (a.k.a. a mountain lion) facing right and the sky in the circle background is yellow with clouds. Below the circle is this white text that says "Scotti Bros" above and "Syd Vinnedge" below it with the word "Television" in a smaller font below it all in black lettering. "rothers" in the word "Brothers" appears to be in superscript.

Later Variants:
  • This logo would appear superimposed in the credits with the words in white with a black shadow effect starting in 1981.
  • A purple line border would appear on the logo and a copyright stamp would appear starting in 1982. More of the purple boarder would appear in 1984.
  • Some 1983 episodes of America's Top 10 would have the copyright stamp in either a blue or purple shadowing.
  • On the 1986-1987 short-lived game show Wordplay, this logo would appear on a black background.
  • A variant of this logo seen as early as 1988 has a larger circle with a gold border and a blue background. Even the cougar, who, as before, faces right, is larger. The text is different as well, with "SCOTTI VINNEDGE" just below the cougar, and "Television" in cursive below. A copyright symbol and year are seen at the very bottom of the circle. From 1989-1992, the copyright font is different.

FX/SFX: While the 1984 variant is still, the 1988 variant has all the text except the copyright stamp wiping in from the left, with the cursive text writing in. The cougar's jaw moves up and down as well.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show or music from a specific record album.

Music/Sounds Variant: Starting in 1990, the roar of a cougar is heard.

Availability: Rare; seen on the syndicated music video countdown show America's Top 10 and the game show Word Play. This may have also been seen on the 1983 American Video Awards and the 1989 TV movie Jake Spanner, Private Eye.

Scare Factor: None to low, depending on the variant used.
