Background

This was the production company of Martin Bregman and Willi Baer.

Logo (September 10, 1993-November 3, 1995)

• 
• 

Visuals: A blue beam of light cuts through the middle of the screen on a black background, and a portion of the bottom half turns blue. The blue half of the background turns on its side to reveal it's two 3D semicircles on an angle from each other like a hinge. The semicircles open, again like a hinge. The blue light beam then slices both semicircles in half. This makes the top half slide a bit forward. The tops of all four semicircles flash and fade out, forming two abstract "B"s that look like waves. The beam wipes under the "B"s, bringing in "BREGMAN/BAER" in a large font. The beam fades out as "P R O D U C T I O N S, I N C.", in a smaller font, fades in below "BREGMAN/BAER". The logo then fades to black.

Trivia: The logo was created by Rod Dyer Design.

Variant: An in-credit version exists where the logo is smaller, the abstract "B"s are turquoise and the text has a tannish hue.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synthesized strike which is followed by 4 rising piano notes, several chimes and sparkles, and then 8 gradually rising synth brass notes (played along with synth crunches) as the logo is formed. The 8th note is held out longer and it ends with an orchestral hit. This theme was composed by Walter Werzowa.

Availability: Seen at the end of The Real McCoy, Carlito's Way, The Shadow, The Hunted, and Gold Diggers: Secret of the Bear Mountain. The in-credit version might be unused since the animated logo was showed at the end of most of the movies the company produced.
