Seagal/Nasso Productions

Background
Seagal-Nasso Productions is the production company of actor Steven Seagal and Julius R. Nasso. Prior to 1993 or 1994, it was known as Steamroller Productions and was run by Seagal. The company reverted back to the Steamroller name by 2002 after Seagal had a dispute with Nasso that would ultimately land the latter in prison for several months.

(February 18, 1994)


Logo: On a black background, a /black metallic star-like shape with rounded edges spins and eases back, then a circle with five circle outlines representing a film reel (also in the /black metallic color) eases back. Then with rays of light, a sword eases out. The star and circle merge to make the shape of a film reel. The sword rests on the film reel, turning it. Then the words:

serif PRODUCTIONS

appears underneath. The logo shines.

Technique: Appears to be either camera-controlled motion effects or CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Starts with a flute tuner, with whooshes when the circle and sword pass by. As it progresses, it turns into a majestic orchestrated fanfare. There is a "CLANG" when the sword rests at the film reel. The end part of the fanfare sounds like the end of the Carolco theme. Composed by Basil Poledouris.

Availability: Very rare. Only seen at the end of the Steven Seagal film On Deadly Ground. All other Seagal-Nasso produced movies carry little more than an in-credit notice.
