InterMedia Entertainment Company

Background
InterMedia Entertainment Company (not to be confused with a current film distributor also called Intermedia (The Quiet American, Iris, Adaptation) was the production company of Fred Silverman that was formed in 1981. The name was later changed to The Fred Silverman Company in 1987.

(September 18, 1982-May 12, 1987)
Logo: On a black background, we see big rainbow-colored words “InterMedia” with an underline stretching across and smaller words written below it:

InterMedia InterMedia Entertainment Company

Variants:
 * Depending on the quality, the rainbow colors of the logo can vary.
 * One variant has the word "InterMedia" in smaller but more colorful letters, has no underline under it, and the smaller words (without "InterMedia") are capitalized.
 * On the 1983-1984 season of We Got It Made, the above variant is seen, but a second later, the word "and" appears below.
 * Another is similar to the above variant, but the size and colors of the word "InterMedia" remains unchanged and the smaller words aren't capitalized.
 * In the cartoon series Meatballs and Spaghetti and Pandamonium, the rainbow colors of the logo slowly flow to the right. Shortly after, the star that dots the "i" shines briefly.
 * An in-credit notice of the company can be seen in the 1984 cartoon The Mighty Orbots.

Technique: None for the normal variant. For The Meatballs and Spaghetti and Pandamonium variants, 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. Since many of Silverman's shows during this era were not big hits, this logo is hard to find. Survives on the first season of Matlock on DVD and on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Pluto TV, Me-TV and Decades and the 1st 3 Perry Mason TV films on DVD, Me-TV and Decades. Also seen in other shows such as We Got It Made, Meatballs and Spaghetti, and Pandamonium.
