TeleVentures

Background
TeleVentures was originally a joint venture television distributor between Stephen J. Cannell Productions, Tri-Star Pictures, and Witt/Thomas Productions, that was started by Stephen J. Cannell in 1986. It was made part of Columbia Pictures Entertainment on December 21, 1987. On July 11, 1990, TeleVentures was sold to Cannell and was re-titled as "Cannell Distribution Co.". However, many of the series distributed by TeleVentures, i.e. My Two Dads, Werewolf, and Buck James, (TriStar), Mama's Boy (Witt/Thomas), and Hunter (Cannell), were passed on to Columbia Pictures Television Distribution (now "Sony Pictures Television").

1st Logo (September 20, 1987-1988)
Visuals: On a black background, two shapes (a tilted trapezoid and a "T") that come from the bottom left and right of the screen join in the center of the screen to form a "V" with the left side forming an "T", and "Times New Roman" wipes in under it. The "Times New Roman" is connected.

Technique: Simple analog computer effects.

Audio: A futuristic sci-fi "charge-up" sound, which is actually a stock sound effect called "SPACE - FADE OUT, ELECTRONIC" by Sound Ideas, also used in Animator vs. Animation III and Mega Man X games starting with Mega Man X4.

Availability:
 * Seen on early episodes of My Two Dads, as well as some TV movies from this company.
 * It's still intact on three episodes of My Two Dads on DVD by Shout! Factory under license by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment and on Antenna TV.
 * This is also seen on late 1980s syndicated prints of the TV movie, More Wild Wild West, and is intact on the DVD release.

2nd Logo (February 1, 1988-September 30, 1991)
Visuals: On a black background, we see the name "Times New Roman" in 2D in swinging down with a trail effect from the top to the bottom of the screen. We later see a 3D version of the TeleVentures logo fading in above the name with sparkle effects on the logo and name.

Technique: Analog computer effects.
