Picturemaker Productions

Background

This is Glenn Gordon Caron's production company.

Logo (July 9, 1984-May 17, 2021)

Visuals: On the left of the screen, there is a caricatured head with an arm moving as if it were turning a crank on a black background. While this happens, the words "PICTUREMAKER PRODUCTIONS" in white, slowly slides in to the right from the head.

Trivia: This logo was designed by Sandy Dvore, the same designer under the 1982 "Turning UA" United Artists logo.

Variants:

Originally, this logo used cel animation and was filmed. The "PICTUREMAKER" text was also outlined in blue or white. Starting with Medium, the logo is digitally re-animated with solid text; also, the arm is now fully shown, when it originally appeared after a few seconds.
On Concrete Beat, the logo is smaller.
On episode 2 onwards of Now and Again, the logo is sped up.
Starting with the second season of Bull, the logo spins and the arm is turning faster.
On seasons 2 and 3 of Bull, the logo is next to the Atelier Paul Attanasio logo.

Technique: Cel animation in the original version, digital animation in the enhanced version.

Audio: The end theme of the show or silent. NBC and CBS airings used a generic theme and/or a voiceover. Concrete Beat has a lush string theme that finishes over the following "In Association With" screen.

Availability: Seen on Moonlighting, Now and Again, Medium, and seasons 2-5 of Bull. It also appeared on Concrete Beat.
