1st Logo
(1984-1985)
Logo: On a white BG, we see a half red, half blue square with a lowercase U cut out of it. "United Media Productions" in red, is displayed below, along with the byline "A Scripps-Howard Company" below it in blue.
FX: It's a still logo.
Music/Sounds: Just the end theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on Garfield TV specials of the period.
Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(October 1985-1994?)
Nicknames: "The Lighthouse", "The Scripps Howard Lighthouse"
Logo: On a blue background, we see a large white line draw itself across the screen at the bottom. As the line ends, we start to zoom out as lines go upward to form something that resembles the Washington Monument. As we zoom out, we see that the blue background is a square on a silver, blue, or black background that has the words "SCRIPPS HOWARD" in the corporate font repeating over and over again. The top of the lighthouse then fills in and sends lines out in three directions (top diagonal, middle horizontal, downward diagonal) on both sides and make it resemble a crude drawing of a lighthouse shining it's light. As a matter of fact, it's the famous Scripps Howard lighthouse, the logo of Scripps Howard, who owned United Media at the time. The finished logo finishes zooming out to show the words "UNITED MEDIA PRODUCTIONS", in all caps, and the same font as the Scripps Howard logo, underneath.
FX: The lighthouse forming and the zoom-out...
Cheesy Factor: ...which really doesn't hold up that well.
Music/Sounds: A somewhat dark four-note synth tune. May also be silent or have the end theme playing over it.
Availability: Seen once, and only once, on the TV special "Garfield in DIsguise" aka "Garfield's Halloween Adventure." It is retained whenever shown and on all VHS and DVD releases.
Scare Factor: Medium; the cheap animation and dark synth tune may put a few off.
