Big Feats! Entertainment

Background

Big Feats! Entertainment was a vanity imprint division of Lyrick Studios headed by Wishbone creator Rick Duffield. The company's only known production is the aforementioned Wishbone.

Logo (October 9, 1995-December 7, 1997)


Visuals: On a black background, two blue 3D letters (B and F stacked on top of each other) fade into view and turn to face the camera in a spotlight. Sandwiched in between the B and F is a red balance pole (the kind tight-rope walkers have). The B/F structure sways around and moves back and forth, eventually coming to a stop, the B/F leaning to the left, and the B swaying. "BIG FEATS! ENTERTAINMENT" is chyroned at the bottom of the screen in a yellow Art Deco font.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A drumroll combined with a couple of squeaking sounds, followed by a male voice saying "Whoa!" (a stock recording of Mel Blanc from Warner Bros' sound effects library) when the logo stops, and a 2-note trumpet sounder.

Availability: This logo was only seen on Wishbone (except for the TV movie Wishbone's Dog Days of The West), and is intact on VHS releases from PolyGram Video and Lyrick Studios and DVD releases from HIT Entertainment (including the 2011 DVD The Little Dog with a Big Imagination). It initially resurfaced on television when repeats of the series returned to PBS Kids in 2006. However, since about 2009 this logo has been plastered with the HIT Entertainment and Thirteen New York logos on said airings. It also appears on the series' PC games, like Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey (1996).
