1st Logo (1990)

Produced by
fyi
FLATTERY YUKICH INC.
Technique: A still graphic.
Audio: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on Bruce Dickinson: Dive! Dive! Live!.
2nd Logo (1990)
Visuals: The logo begins at a crime scene. Everything is in sepia tone, like a film noir movie. A bunch of reporters or detectives are crowded around the 'evidence' (appears to be a corpse that of an car accident, never confirmed). A woman takes notes, while a male photographer takes a picture. The flash goes off, and we dissolve to a gray/silver screen with a centered silver circle at the top. Inside the circle is "fyi" in red lowercase. It looks a little bit like the Virgin logo. Then, in uppercase black is "FLATTERY YUKICH INC." The logo fades out.
Technique: Live-action and 2D animation.
Audio: A suspenseful synth tune that sounds like the beginning of an "evening news" program. It fades in quickly, and the camera-flash is accompanied by a synth hit.
Availability: This was seen on Phil Collins: Seriously Live in Berlin, as well as Phil Collins' final night concert in New York.
3rd Logo (July 25, 1990-1992)
