Background

Grammnet Productions (also known as Grammnet NH Productions) is the production company of actor/producer Kelsey Grammer.

Logo (November 30, 1995-)


Visuals: In a muddy blue area with streaks in the corners, a golden dolphin appears and quickly dives into an invisible pool of water, creating ripples. The ripples then produce a golden rectangle, in which a "G" quickly zooms in to fill the space. Below, 2 streaks form "GRAMMNET" in a sans font, and "PRODUCTIONS", spread out in a different silver font. More streaks continue to move in the background as the "G" shines.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, an IAW disclaimer can be seen below.
  • On the original version of the logo, the aspect FOV is changed using Vert-algorithm between the 4:3 and 16:9 versions.
  • Starting in 2005 with season 2 of Medium, the logo is altered in animation, with the ripples glowing at first before forming the rectangle. The logo is also enhanced with upgraded effects and a different, bolder font.
  • On shows starting with Boss, it has an arc and the letters "NH" below the logo.
  • On Light as a Feather, the logo is next to the Wattpad Studios logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A crystal jingle starting with 4 descending notes (similar to the Windows 3.1 "chimes" sound), followed by 2 more ascending notes, introduced in 1997. This was composed by Mike Coulter and Tobias Johnston.

Audio Variants:

  • Sometimes, the last note of the crystal jingle trails off into the following logo.
  • In other cases, it's silent or uses the closing theme of the show.
  • 1995-1997: In the logo's early years, a different jingle is used.
  • Original airings use their generic themes.

Availability: First seen on the 1995 NBC special Kelsey Grammer Salutes Jack Benny, then seen on Fired Up, Girlfriends, In-Laws, Medium, The Game, Partners (2014 series) and the 2023 revival of Frasier.
