True Jack Productions

Background
This is the production company of Jason Katims. It was originally called Jason Katims Productions.

(October 6, 1999-May 14, 2002)


Logo: We see old footage of a table with work papers, a cup of coffee, and a napkin saying "JASoN KAtiMs PRoDuctioNS". There are two hands (most likely those of Katims himself), one of them is holding a pen and tapping it on the table. The left hand, which is holding the pen, draws a straight line on the napkin between Katims' name and "PRoDuctioNS".

Trivia: Judging from the lighting, this logo looks like it takes place during the early morning.

FX/SFX: Live-action with the old film effect.

Music/Sounds: A short violin ditty, tapping and drawing sounds, sometimes shortened. When The WB (now the CW) aired Roswell, the generic network jingle/announcements plays over it.

Availability: Seen on Roswell.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Logo (March 2, 2010-January 22, 2013)
Logo: On a background of rolling green grass and a cloudy blue sky, we see a long-haired brown dog glancing to the left. He then turns to face us. Over the dog's head are the stacked words "TRUE JACK PRODUCTIONS" in silver, with a dark gradient going underneath each of the words below.

FX/SFX: It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds: A 6-note tune, the first 4 of which are calypso-like chimes, and the last 2 are squeak sounds.

Availability: Seen on the first four seasons of Parenthood.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 26, 2013-September 4, 2020)
Logo: On a white background, inside a black border is an ocean, as a black dog runs against it. The picture then freezes, as the stacked words "TRUE JACK PRODUCTIONS" appear below.

Variants:
 * On Almost Family, the logo appears zoomed out (revealing more of the background as a result), shares the screen with the EndemolShine North America logo below, and the animation cuts off early.
 * On Away, it is the same as above, albeit still and shares the screen with the 6th & Idaho logo below.

FX/SFX: The ocean and the dog running. On Away, none.

Music/Sounds: A relaxing guitar tune followed by two dog barks. On Almost Family and Away, none.

Availability: Seen on the last two seasons of Parenthood. Also appeared on The Path, About a Boy, Pure Genius, Rise, Almost Family, and Away.

Editor's Note: None.
