Mad-Dog Productions

Background
This was the vanity card of Nicholas J. Corea.

(April 12, 1981-May 30, 1987)
Nicknames: "The Killer Dog", "The Dog from Hell", "Junkyard Dog", "Release the Hounds", "ROSCHH-ROFFH-grrrrRRRRF!"

Logo: We see a Doberman Pinscher standing in a field move for about a half a second with its sharp canine teeth showing looking like it's ready to attack or kill (the rear end of another Doberman is seen next to it as well, on the right side of the screen.) After the Doberman moves for half a second, the picture freezes and the words "A MAD-DOG PRODUCTION" in yellow are scrawled onto the screen in a childish manner, with an underline.

Trivia: The footage of the Doberman Pinscher is taken from the 1975-1978 TV series Baretta (specifically, from the episode "The Dream").

FX/SFX: The dog, which is live-action, and the text.

Music/Sounds: Just the Doberman snarling. On Outlaws, the snarling is different.

Availability: Extremely rare/near extinction. It was seen on the TV movies The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire and J.O.E. and the Colonel (released on VHS as Humanoid Defender). It's also seen on the short-lived 1986 series Outlaws.

Editor's Note: This logo has been known to scare some people, due to the doberman snarling and weird-looking text. Beside that, this logo is pretty cheesy. Also, oddly enough, Corea never worked on Baretta, so the inclusion of footage from that show in this logo is perplexing; the only connection between this company and Baretta is that it and Mad-Dog's shows were all distributed by Universal Television.
