Scott Sternberg Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum




1st Logo (September 12, 1981-June 1, 1996)


Visuals: On a black background, there is an orange blocky pattern that morphs into a planet (ala the 1988 BBC Video logo) that later rotates to the left. The sun shines on the planet as it is seen rotating to the left. The text "scott sternberg productions" is superimposed over it.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Wind is heard first. As the planet rotates, spaceship sound effects are heard.

Availability: First seen on the 1983 Active Home Video VHS of The Best of Everything Goes. Was also seen on the game show Let's Go Back (which Scott himself hosted).

2nd Logo (September 13, 1997-July 1, 2011)


Visuals: Positioned against a blue sheet of corrugated metal is "scott sternberg" in a grungy font. The camera appears to be tilted at a big angle, but then straightens itself as "productions" spirals away from the camera and takes its place under "scott sternberg". All of the text in this logo is warped in the shape of the metal.

Variant: Starting on season three of Catch 21, the logo appears in-credit. There is no animation for the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: An electric guitar jingle with a "whoosh".

Availability: Can be seen on reruns of Catch 21 on Bounce TV and GSN (where it is affected by credit-crunching). It was also seen on That's the Question on GSN, Shootout on AMC, and Square Off on ANC. Originally spotted on Jep! on GSN and Wheel 2000 on CBS (the first known sighting of this logo) in 1997.

3rd Logo (September 8, 2014-March 3, 2016)


Visuals: On a white background, multiple red squares zoom out and form a large red square with the letters "SSP" inside. "STERNBERG" in a big font is placed below, with "SCOTT STERNBERG PRODUCTIONS" under it. On the bottom of the screen, there's the URL "SSPRODS.COM".

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Glitching sounds.

Availability: Seen on Fix It & Finish It.

4th Logo (September 16, 2019-)


Visuals: On a white background, there's the white acronym "SSP" with the last letter below the first two, all placed inside a magenta square fading in with the text "SCOTT STERNBERG PRODUCTIONS" in black underneath.

Technique: Fading effects.

Audio: The closing theme.

Availability: It's currently seen on Protection Court in syndication.
