Wass-Stein

Background
This is Nina Wass and Eugene Stein 's vanity card.

(October 10, 2000-September 19, 2011)


Logo: The screen is divided into 2 sections, with the top half of the screen white, and the bottom half. The words "WASS-STEIN" appear at the top. Vertically aligned at the right of the screen, the years of the TV season (e.g."2004 2005") are placed at the border of the colors. The earlier year appears at the bottom in white, and the latter one appears at the top in.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A short piano tune combined with some chimes. Oddly, Interbang Inc. used the same theme in their logo 6 years prior; the two companies have no relation outside of working with Touchstone Television, so it might be a stock music piece.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On The Protector and Sherri, the closing theme played over this logo.
 * Original ABC and NBC airings have generic bumper music played over the logo.

Availability: It appeared on The Geena Davis Show, Go Fish, Less Than Perfect, Sherri (no relation to the daytime talk show hosted by Sherri Shepard herself), and The Protector. Of these shows, Less Than Perfect and Sherri are available on DVD.

Legacy: Although this logo looks like it was made using Microsoft PowerPoint, the music in this logo (like with Interbang) goes great with that of the Touchstone Television logo that follows. The logo doesn't look good in widescreen, though.
