Logo descriptions, captures and editions by Shadeed A. Kelly
Background: Bob Stewart originally had no work to do. He found a job at Goodson-Todman Productions in 1956 and created game shows like The Price is Right and Password. Stewart by then formed Bob Stewart Productions in 1964 and left G-T in 1965 to set out on his own. His son Sande Stewart later joined the company in 1973 and by forming Basada, Inc., which was named after his sons Barry, Sande, and David. In 1990, the company was renamed to Stewart Tele Enterprises. The company was in operation until 1992 when Bob Stewart retired; two years later he sold the company to Sony Corporation of America (the exception: Bill Cullen's version of The $25,000 Pyramid that's currently owned by CBS Corp. and John Davidson's version of The $100,000 Pyramid currently owned by StudioCanal). The remaining of the library is owned by Sony Pictures Television.
1st Logo
(1966-1992)
Logo: In the beginning, Stewart didn't use an actual logo, but starting in 1966, he used an in-credit text that would read:
BOB STEWART
PRODUCTION
and would feature a copyright stamp below underneath starting in the 1980s.
Variants:
- From The $25,000 Pyramid to The $100,000 Pyramid, the in-credit text would be in a pyramidal style.
- On the unsold pilot Twisters and later seasons of The New Chain Reaction, it would say:
A
BOB STEWART
&
SANDE STEWART
PRODUCTION
A
BOB STEWART
_______
SANDE STEWART
- On the 1991 version of The $100,000 Pyramid hosted by John Davidson, the text reads as:
A
STEWART
TELE ENTERPRISES
PRODUCTION
FX/SFX: Just the scrolling of the credits. Sometimes it's superimposed or it fades in.
Music/Sounds: The end title theme from any show playing.
Availability: Extinct. Different shows had these in-credits, like Go!, Winning Streak, the Pyramid incarnations, and Jackpot on GSN. However, due to the compressed credits and cutting them off early for the next program due to the time, it's hardly shown ever again.
Scare Factor: None.
