Background

In 1984, Moonlight Productions underwent a company restructuring, and the company was renamed to Frank von Zerneck Films in 1985. Von Zerneck would later partner with producers like Stu Samuels, who was formerly of ABC to join his company in 1987 to form Von Zerneck-Samuels Productions. Sertner would later became partner of the company.

Visuals: On a dark blue background, there is a blue filmstrip positioning down as the words "Frank von Zerneck" appear in a serif font and "F I L M S", in a different, spaced-out ease in. The logo shines.

Variants:

• On Romance on the Orient Express, the text "Made in association with" appears above the name. Plus, the logo is stil.
• On some TV movies, the logo is warp speed.
• On Man Against the Mob, the logo is enhanced, and has a brighter shine effect.
• On Dress Gray, the text "In Association With" appears below the logo.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A synth chime theme, with some electronic synth sounds. Usually, the end theme plays over it.

Availability: It was seen on Combat High, Final Jeopardy, Dress Gray, Man Against the Mob, Hostage Flight, Celebration Family and Romance on the Orient Express. Those television movies were hard to find, although it was preserved on DVD releases and streaming prints.
