Mad-Dog Productions
Background
This was the vanity card of Nicholas J. Corea.
Logo (April 12, 1981-May 30, 1987)
Visuals: There is a Doberman Pinscher standing in a field move for about a half a second with its sharp canine teeth showing, looking like it's ready to attack or kill (the rear end of another Doberman is seen next to it as well, on the right side of the screen.) After the Doberman moves for half a second, the picture freezes and the words "A MAD-DOG PRODUCTION" are scrawled onto the screen in a childish manner, with an underline.
Trivia: The footage of the Doberman Pinscher is taken from the 1975-1978 TV series Baretta (specifically, from the episode "The Dream").
Technique: Mostly live-action, with 2D animation for the text.
Audio: Just the Doberman snarling.
Audio Variants:
- On Outlaws, the snarling is different.
- On Humanoid Defender, the ending theme of the series plays.
Availability: It was seen on the TV movies The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire and J.O.E. and the Colonel (released on VHS as Humanoid Defender). It's also seen on the short-lived 1986 series Outlaws.
Legacy: An infamous logo, due to the Doberman's ready-to-attack position (unsurprising, considering Dobermans are highly protective dogs who bark at strangers and unknown children aggressively), snarling and odd-looking text.
