Frappé Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum




1st Logo (1990-1995)


Visuals: On a gray background, there is a chocolate sundae in a tall glass cup with a blue straw protruding from inside and what appears to be foam on top; the whole thing casts a shadow. A cherry hops onto the sundae, bounces on the straw and lands in the foam. The camera zooms in on the sundae (in incredibly crude fashion, as the camera shakes), and the purple word "Frappé" and "P R O D U C T I O N S", also in purple, below it appear with bubbles that glitter.

Technique: 2D animation, along with what appear to be live-action photographs for the sundae and cherry.

Audio: Bouncing sound effects and a laugh-like sound effect.

Availability: It was shown on a few Barney & Friends specials and the Once Upon a Potty For Him/Her video adaptation.

2nd Logo (1994-2003)


Visuals: Superimposed on the credits background, there is a 3D model of the stacked text "a frappé" in a pearl color with "production" in white, placed below. The text shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The closing theme.

Availability: It appeared on Pierre Franey's Cooking In France.

3rd Logo (April 5, 2003-)


Visuals: On a white background, a dark red ball zooms out to reveal the word "frappé" along with "a" and "production" placed respectively above and below, prior to landing on the top-left corner. Another dark red ball appears as the logo bulges from the center for about a second before returning to normal.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A loud string note with two explosion-like sounds.

Availability: Unknown. [Examples?]
