Echo Cove Productions

(November 27, 1988-June 20, 1996)

Logo: On a blue background, we see a black painting of lakeside scenery, complete with mountains in the background and a full moon, whose rays are shining down on the lake (the whole scenery appears to be enclosed in an invisible frame, as shown from the bottom left edge). Below are the words "Echo Cove Productions" and below is "in association with".

Variants:


 * Sometimes, the logo is in a slightly lighter shade and the lake ripples roughly.
 * On Shaughnessy: The Iron Marshall, the logo is filmed and slowed down.

FX/SFX: The water rippling.

Music/Sounds:


 * A 7 note ascending piano sounder, with strings held out throughout.
 * Oftentimes, it's silent or uses the closing theme of the show.
 * Shaughnessy: The Iron Marshall has descending chimes, followed by a choir-like synth note and a synth drone. A quiet, shortened version of this theme would later be used for Dauphine Productions.

Availability: Seen on a number of TV movies, such as The Absent-Minded Professor (the 1988 remake) and both Polly films. Also seen on TV shows, like The Boys of Twilight and the short-lived Heaven Help Us, among others.
