Mandy Films

Background
This was the first vanity plate of producer Leonard J. Goldberg, formed after the end of his and Aaron Spelling's partnership in 1977. He would later form a new vanity plate in 2000, Panda Productions (now The Leonard Goldberg Company), as a successor to Mandy.

1st Logo (February 6, 1981)


Logo: On a yellow background, we see a blue semicircle containing a wide white filmstrip arch (though looking more reminiscent of a View Master reel), whose frames are in different rainbow colors. Inside the arch is the black word "MANDY" and under the semicircle is the word "PRODUCTIONS", curved downwards. The bottom center of the semicircle below "MANDY" is bumpy, making it look like the top profile of a cloud.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The closing theme.

Availability: Seen on This House Possessed.

2nd Logo (October 26, 1982-1986)


Logo: On an orange background, we see a large white filmstrip arch (much shorter than before and with far fewer frames this time, making its resemblance to a View Master reel much more closer.) whose frames, like before, are in different rainbow colors. Inside the arch is a bluish vertigo background containing the white word "MANDY". The words "FILMS INC." are underneath the arch, in black. Then it cuts to a black "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" on the same background.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show or film.

Availability: Extinct. It was seen on Gavilan and Paper Dolls.

3rd Logo (April 23, 1986-2000)
Logo: On a purple-light purple gradient background is the same product from before, only now the arch's center background is a deep dark purple and "FILMS" is now white with the comma and the word "INC." removed. Both the logo and "FILMS" are casting a shadow on the background.

Variants:
 * A later variant, bearing a resemblance to the previous logo, has a white background with the logo completely flat and with "FILMS" in black again.
 * On The Cavanaughs, "Times New Roman" fades in below on the later version; this is followed by the Paramount Television "Blue Mountain" logo (the videotaped version).

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show or film.

Availability: Was seen on the TV series Class of '96 and on the TV movies Alex: The Life of A Child, She Woke Up, and Runaway Virus.
