Regency Television

Background
Regency Television was a television production company established in 1998 as a joint-venture between Regency Enterprises and Fox Television Studios. In 2007, Regency Television shut down all production and closed its business after nearly ten years of operations. On January 17, 2011, New Regency announced to re-launch its television division after 20th Century Fox announced to extend its distribution deal with New Regency until 2022 (which was further extended to an indeterminate date on December 13, 2021). Regency first went into television production with the short-lived 1994 animated series Free Willy in association with Warner Bros. Television and Nelvana.

1st Logo (September 24, 1994-February 25, 1995)


Logo: Just a white still version of the movie logo on a black background.

FX/SFX: None.

2nd Logo (May 9, 1999-April 14, 2008)
Logo: We see a shortened variant of the movie logo, but the word "Times New Roman" is placed under the word "Times New Roman". Underneath is the byline "Times New Roman".

Variants:
 * The logo would come in either the standard 4:3 version (seen on full-screen prints) or the widescreen 16:9 version.
 * On 4:3 full-screen prints of early season 1 episodes of Roswell, along with the Jason Katims Productions and 20th Century Fox Television logos, the logo plays videotaped.
 * On some shows starting in 2000 with Malcolm in the Middle, the logo would appear bylineless.
 * On Ryan Caulfield: Year One, How to Marry A Billionaire: A Christmas Tale, and Dodson's Journey, the text is in a different, cheaper font and it flips in.
 * There is also a slightly extended variant of the logo, which begins with the R glowing and the words turning toward. Appears either with or without the byline.
 * An extremely long version exists on the failed pilot of That Guy. Here, it is animated like the movie logo, but slightly sped-up.
 * On the short-lived series UC: Undercover, the logo is seen on the left with the NBC Studios logo on the right.

FX/SFX: Computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The final flourishing note of the Regency movie logo fanfare.

Music/Sounds Variants:
