Not to be confused with BET's in-house production company, BET Original Productions or BET's film counterpart, BET Films.


Background

BET Studios is the television production arm of cable channel BET, owned by the CBS Entertainment Group division of Paramount Global. The division launched on September 15, 2021, and Klutch Academy was its first production.

Logo (December 7, 2021-)


Visuals: It starts on a red background. After a split-second, the background turns white, and a red BET logo is seen zooming out, with a film reel spinning instead of a star. Once the logo zooms out, the background turns black, the BET logo turns white, and "STUDIOS" in a narrow font appears under the BET logo (a la the Microsoft PowerPoint "Peek In" effect) as the film reel stops spinning.

Variant: Starting in 2023, the Paramount corporate wordmark is added at the bottom.

Technique: 2D animation by Sibling Rivalry Studio.

Audio: A drone with a cymbal hit, none or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on Klutch Academy starting with episode 3.
