Background

The Steve Tisch Company was founded in 1986 by Steve Tisch. This would be his second production company (the first being Tisch/Avnet Productions with Jon Avnet). The company produced films on the big and small screens. In 2001, The Steve Tisch Company would merge with Todd Black and Jason Blumenthal's production company, Black & Blu, to form Escape Artists.

1st Logo (October 24, 1986-June 9, 1992)

• 

Visuals: On a black background, eight blue lines shoot up from the left corner of the screen in a diagonal fashion. The first three lines are longer than the others in order to represent a "T" shape. The text "The Steve Tisch Company" fade in below in a diagonal fashion.

Variants:

• A still version also exists where the "T" along with the text is much larger here. An animated version of this also exists.
• An early version has the logo in green with purple streaks.

Technique: Appears to be cel animation.

Audio: A three-note high pitched synth theme with a quiet whoosh at the end. It also used the closing theme of the movie (or show) or was silent. On Whisper Kills, the Phoenix Entertainment Group music is used, possibly due to an editing error.

Availability: It was seen on Soul Man (the film), Whisper Kills and Victim of Love. The large text version was seen on the TV adaptation of Dirty Dancing.

2nd Logo (October 1, 1996)

• 

Visuals: On a purple wall-like background is a spotlight in the middle of the screen. "STEVE TISCH" flips in one letter at a time. As this happens, "THE" and "COMPANY" fades in above and below "STEVE TISCH". A line then draws itself under "COMPANY".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.

Availability: Can be seen on the TV movie The People Next Door.
