Background

This is Joop van den Ende's production company.



1st Logo (October 1-December 31, 1990)

Visuals: On a black background, there are two bars colliding with one another, then there is what appears to be shininess. Then, "JOOP VAN DEN ENDE" rises from the bottom bars, with them shining. "JOOP" and "ENDE" are separate words, but "VAN DEN" is sandwiched between "JOOP" and "ENDE".

Variant: On Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden, the logo is paired with the Reg Grundy logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The closing theme of the logo.

Availability: Seen on episodes 1-66 of Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden.

2nd Logo (January 1, 1991-October 23, 1992)


Visuals: On a black background, the screen zooms through some lettering, in shiny silver. We then see the word "ENDE" in all caps. Then the screen zooms out to reveal the whole thing, which says "JOOP VAN DEN ENDE TV PRODUKTIES", with four blocks surrounding the part between "ENDE" and "TV PRODUKTIES", all layered top to bottom, apart from "VAN DEN". All of it is enclosed with four tall blocks, but only within the text areas.

Variants:

  • On early 1991 episodes of Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden, the text is golden along with the Reg Grundy logo, spins towards the right side of the screen, and "TV" is omitted, with "PRODUKTIES" replaced by "PRODUCTIONS".
    • On early season 3 episodes of said series, up to episode 405, the first half of this sequence is superimposed onto the end credits before its background fades out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The closing theme of the program.

Availability: Seen on episodes of Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden from this period starting with episode 67 and ending with episode 405.

3rd Logo (October 26, 1992-1998)


Visuals: Over a black background, the logo starts with "geproduccerd door" for a few moments, then we see blocks in the colors magenta, grey, green, and blue. They slide into the formation described in the second logo, then there is "JOOP VAN DEN ENDE TV PRODUKTIES" in a greyish color rotate in until it faces us. Soon thereafter, the entire thing rotates.

Technique: CGI.

Variants:

  • On some logos, there is an Endemol company notice at the bottom, and there would normally be a copyright year at the bottom spinning along with the rest of the text, but seems to be omitted.
  • On some shows, the blocks moving is not shown, and the entire logo spins.
  • On game shows co-produced by John De Mol Produkties, the logo is upward.
  • On GTST, it paired with the Reg Grundy Productions logo.

Audio: The closing theme of the logo.

Availability: Can be found on Kees and Co.. It was also appeared on Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden starting with episode 406, Up the Stage, and game shows (which were co-produced by John De Mol Produkties); however, the early version doesn't have the John De Mol Produkties logo.

4th Logo (September 10, 1998-2006)


Visuals: With the remainder of the episode as the backdrop is "JOOP" and "ENDE" moving in from left and right at the same time (framed with blue with a bright shiny backdrop), then bouncing (we think) with one another while "VAN DEN" and "TV-PRODUCTIES" come in and bump in with both "JOOP" and "ENDE", both landing at specific places...

  • VAN DEN above "ENDE" and next to "JOOP"
  • "TV-PRODUCTIES" below "JOOP"

...and after all that, an eye with a blue background comes in from the left and bumps into all of it, while the background gets zoomed out with a blue frame around it into a black background. The eye blinks, then it all flips to black.

Variants:

  • On some productions, a "An Endemol Entertainment Company" slogan appears from the bottom, then slides back up before it all flips back.
  • On game shows, it is paired with the John De Mol Produkties logo.
  • On GTST, it is paired with the Grundy Productions logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The closing theme of the logo, mixed in with metal sheets bumping into one another, then after that, there is a click-esque sound, then some noise, then something that sounds shiny fade in/out.

Availability: Seen on GTST.
