Stage 29 Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

This is the production company of television personality and psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw and his son, Jay McGraw. The company takes its name from the stage number at Paramount Pictures where Phil McGraw's eponymous talk show is recorded.

Logo (September 8, 2008-)


Visuals: There is a bright light cover the whole screen. The camera then quickly zooms out through two closing doors, revealing a building called "Stage 29" with a few palm trees and a water tower at sunset. As the camera continues to zoom out, the screen zooms through a pair of gates, likely representing the iconic gates of the Paramount lot. The background then quickly changes color, from orange to purple and then to blue. There is a silver curved line as the camera continues to zoom out. As we continue to zoom out, the letters "S29" position themselves in a diagonal fashion. At the same time, the words:

STAGETWENTYNINE

P R O D U C T I O N S

zoom out and place themselves under the "S29" text.

Variants:

  • A copyright stamp may appear below.
  • The logo may be still on a white background. This can be seen on Bull and That Animal Rescue Show; the latter has the logo zoomed out and on a white rectangle on a black background.
  • Sometimes, the animated on-screen logo may be still like above. This can be seen on So Help Me Todd.
  • From 2010-2018 on The Doctors, the logo has a blurred pillarbox effect.
  • A version exists where the Stage 29 scenery is omitted. This can be seen on The Amber Rose Show and DailyMailTV.
  • The logo was enhanced starting in 2016. However, the enhanced Stage 29 scenery didn't debut on-screen until 2018 with Face the Truth.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None or the opening/closing theme of the show. A whoosh sound is heard on The Amber Rose Show and DailyMailTV.

Availability: Seen on The Doctors, Bull, DailyMailTV and other shows produced by the company. It does not appear on Dr. Phil, however.
