Smith-Hemion Productions

Background
Smith-Hemion Productions was formed in the early 1960s by director Gary Smith as Gary Smith Ltd., producing TV shows like Hullabaloo and The Music Scene. During the early 1970s, it teamed up with producer Dwight Hemion, in order to rename the company to Smith-Hemion Productions. The partnership ended in 2001 and was renamed to its current moniker The Gary Smith Company. It did not use a logo until the early 1980s.

1st Logo (1980-1989)
Visuals: At the end of the credits, the word "Times New Roman" slides in from the left and the right. The word "Times New Roman" and "Times New Roman" appear above and below the text.

 * Sometimes, "This has been" or "This has been a" is shown above the logo.
 * On Linda in Wonderland, the text says "Times New Roman"
 * On EPCOT Center: The Opening Celebration and America's Tribute to Bob Hope, the letter "Times New Roman" is missing.

2nd Logo (1989-2001)
Visuals: On a purple space background, there is a yellow wireframe globe that zooms out, followed by the 3D wireframe text "Times New Roman " zooming out and moves toward the globe while the text starts to rotate. The globe then zooms from the text and lands itself to stand next to the two words, settling fast to the center. Then it flashes to a purple-white gradient text, while some electricity flashes and some drawings then surround the text.

Variants:
