Rhode Island Ave. Productions

Background
This is Dan Fogelman's vanity card. It was formerly known as "17-28 Black, Inc." It is named after the street that Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal and an unknown person lived in West L.A. off of Bundy.

Logo (September 26-October 31, 2012)


Logo: On a black background, we see a roulette wheel at a casino inside a box with the words "Courier" on top and "Courier" on the bottom respectively.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the ball dropping and crowd applause.

Availability: Seen on the first six episodes of The Neighbors.

2nd Logo (November 7, 2012-April 11, 2014)


Logo: We see a CGI roulette wheel spinning on the background with two squares. The wheel stops, and the numbers on the first box are "17" and "28" on a black square, while the second box has a ball inside it. The script word "Black" flashes in.

Technique: The wheel spinning, and the word "Black" flashing in.

Music/Sounds: Same as the first logo.

Availability: Seen on The Neighbors starting with season 1, episode 7.

(January 4, 2015-)
Logo: On a lightly cloudy sky, there is a slightly tilted, close-up pic of a dark blue street sign attached to a sign pole (akin to one seen on a street corner in Los Angeles) with the words "Rhode Island" in white fully across the street sign. "Productions" is written in a smaller font just below it and the abbreviated word "Av" is located on the lower right corner.

Variant: A alternate version exists where the picture is on a tan background and it's more realistic with a different view, including several wires in the white-gray sky and "1200 W" replacing "Productions" on the sign. This was only seen on the pilot episode of Galavant.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Two men (Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal) saying, "Gabby, no" simultaneously in a chastising tone. A loud splash is heard following those words. Sometimes it's silent or one of the men says the line for the short version.

Music/Sounds Trivia: Aside from the company name's origins, Fogelman had a swimming pool filled with green algae at his rented house, which a dog named Gabby who came and went as she pleased.

Availability: Common. Seen on Galavant, Grandfathered, This is Us, Pitch and Only Murders in the Building.
