Strathmore Productions

Background
Strathmore Productions was the production company of Dean Hargrove. It was later renamed to Dean Hargrove Productions in 1988 to avoid confusion with the paper company Strathmore.

1st Logo (December 1, 1985-March 3, 1986)
Logo: On a black background, we see a "S" made of two crescents, with "STRATHMORE" in a typewriter font in the middle. Under the gold "S" in white are "PRODUCTIONS" and under it "IN ASSOCIATION WITH".

Variant: On current prints by CBS, "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is blacked-out.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Very rare.
 * Can still be seen on the made-for-TV movie Perry Mason Returns (local reruns plaster it with the Dean Hargrove Productions logo) on Decades and the pilot episode of Matlock (plastered by the next logo on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries airings but kept on Me-TV airings), both are retained on their DVD releases.

2nd Logo (September 23, 1986-May 15, 1988)


Logo: On a black background, we see two crescents, spinning around and zooming out. Then the crescents stop as "STRATHMORE", in a typewriter font, wipes in, forming the "S" from the previous logo, which flashes and gains a glow. As "STRATHMORE" finishes, "PRODUCTIONS" fades in as well as "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" appears under it.

Variant: Same as before, "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" is blacked-out on current DVD print releases and on Encore Suspense airings of Perry Mason: The Case of the Notorious Nun, as well as current prints of Return to Mayberry, but is retained on the Perry Mason DVDs.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show or none.

Availability:
 * Survives on the first two seasons of Matlock on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, DVD, Pluto TV, and Me-TV and on Perry Mason made-for-TV movies of the period on DVD, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, Me-TV, and Decades.
 * It was also seen on Return to Mayberry when it aired on Me-TV in 2013, Fatal Confession: A Father Dowling Mystery on DVD and seen on a recent Decades airing, and DVD prints of season 1 episodes of Jake and the Fatman.
