Don Mischer Productions

Background
This is Don Mischer's vanity card. It was founded in the late 1970s, and didn't use a logo until 1985. Prior to the logo's start, it was always an in-credit text.

1st Logo (1985-2000's)
Logo: On a background, we see this text " DON MISCHER PRODUCTIONS " underlined, and in an organic font. The background then flashes to white.

Variants:
 * In the logo's early years, the background would either be or.
 * "In association with" may appear above or below the company name.
 * Sometimes, a copyright date appears below.
 * A still version exists.
 * On Barbara Mandrell's Christmas: A Family Reunion, the red background version has the text "D ON M ISCHER " and the word "PRODUCTIONS" in spaced-out letters with a line separating the two words.

Technique: Computer animation.
