1st Logo (June 27, 1966-November 5, 1973)
Nickname: "DCP"

Logo: Scrolling up in the credits of Dark Shadows, we see a superimposed logo with stylized text (the first letters of each word are in boxes) as follows:

Dan Curtis Productions, inc. copyright © (year) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Variants:
 * There was different variants of the logo seen on Dark Shadows where the background would be different. In 1970-1971, it would be in color.
 * On some 1970-71 episodes, a text-only version was used as follows: DAN CURTIS PRODUCTIONS, INC. copyright © year
 * Another variation, seen on the 1969 TV movie Dead of Night: A Darkness at Blaisedon, is like the stylized-text version used on Dark Shadows, except this copyright disclaimer is used: © MCMLXIX DONNYBROOK PRODUCTIONS, INC. All rights reserved
 * On The Invasion of Carol Enders, the first letters are in a bold, normal font and the rest is set to a cursive font.

FX/SFX: Scrolls up in the credits.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of Dark Shadows, that is a spooky dark theme, and/or a deep voice-over with a echo/stutter-like effect saying, "Dark Shadows is a Dan Curtis Production."

Availability: Found on all episodes of the original Dark Shadows TV series as well as The Invasion of Carol Enders.

Editor's Note: The theme and the announcer are notable for being ominous. Other than that, nothing really to note about.

2nd Logo (February 21, 1973)


Logo: There is an in-credit text that reads:

A DAN CURTIS PRODUCTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH

The logo would then cut to a Metromedia Producers Corporation logo that would be superimposed on the same background (which is a close-up of one of the character's face in the movie).

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the film.

Availability: Seen on the 1973 TV movie The Norliss Tapes, which was actually a pilot for an unaired series.

Editor's Note: This logo is somewhat notorious for being scary to many people thanks to the scary music and look of the eyes (actually the last shot of the TV movie).

3rd Logo (1975-2006)
