Adelson/Baumgarten Productions

Background
This was the production company of Craig Baumgarten and Gary Adelson. The company had a partnership with TriStar Pictures in which its 18 months first-look production deal was extended in July 1993, refreshing a relationship that began with an overall housekeeping deal in 1991. The duo split in 1994, however they continued to work as producers on films around that time. Baumgarten would form Baumgarten Merims Productions with producer Adam Merims some time after the former's partnership ended.

(August 21, 1991-April 24, 1992)


Logo: On a black background, we see the outlined letters "ABP" connected to each other. Then the words appear "ADELSON BAUMGARTEN PRODUCTIONS" as everything changes and flashing colors rapidly, then back to normal.

Technique: 2D Animation, which is the logo changing colors rapidly, & the sliding of the text.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme or a generic announcement.

Availability: Rare. It's seen on The Fifth Corner. The 1992 USA Network television film Lies of the Twins favored an in-credit mention.

Legacy: The fast-paced animation, as well as the quick flashing can surprise some. With the John Herzfeld Productions logo can scare you more.
