Oliver Productions

Background
Oliver Productions was the vanity card for John McLaughlin.

(January 1, 1982-August 12, 2016)
Logo: On a white background, we see a "O" spinning, shifting to the left. As it stops spinning and shifting, "LIVER PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears next to it:

OLIVER PRODUCTIONS, INC.

"O" is larger than the rest of the letters in "OLIVER", while "PRODUCTIONS, INC." is smaller. Inside the "O" is a white basset hound with brown spots, which barks once.

Technique: Traditional animation with scanimation for the text.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the dog barking once.

Availability: Seen on The McLaughlin Group and John McLaughlin's One-on-One. Both usually had WTTW's logo of the time coming after if you watched it on PBS (except when you saw The McLaughlin Group on one of the NBC O&Os that air it, as the WTTW logo won't be shown there, so it's a hard call). Although the episodes from both series only air once and never again with no physical media and not even on streaming services, as they are talk shows, they can be found through old recordings and studio archives.
