Arsenio Hall Communications

1st Logo

(January 3, 1989 - May 27, 1994)

Nickname: "Woof Woof 2.0"

Logo: Same as the previous logo, but now we see the new "ARSENIO" logo type face with a silhouette of Arsenio Hall in the "A."

FX/SFX: None.

Variant: On one earlier episode, there was an alternate logo where there's Arsenio's signature in a pink-red color (this same signature is also seen at the start of the opening credits of his original talk show in 1989 but in a blue color) on a dark black background. As the signature finishes writing itself, a half blue/half purple backdrop gradually fills the background and the barking sound plays and the Arsenio Hall Communications logo (in a much different font) fades in below.

Music/Sounds: A five-note guitar riff, followed by an actual sound of a barking dog. In the earliest taped episodes of the new series, a drum beat, accompanied by a single guitar riff note is played followed by the barking dog sound.

Music/Sound Variant: On the September 11th, 2013 episode of the newly-revived Arsenio Hall Show, the logo was silent due to a 10-second commemorative silence for the 9/11 victims who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001. The other logos seen after this one, including the CBS Television Distribution logo, were in silence as well. On the April 6, 2014 episode, there was a brief moment of silence and then applause due to a mini-tribute to the death of Mickey Rooney who died on that day.

Availability: Seen on the 2013 revival of The Arsenio Hall Show.

Editor's Note: None.
