Tricorn Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

This is Elizabeth Bennett's production company.

Logo (September 22, 1994-April 2002)

Visuals: On a beige background with a white glow in the middle, the head of a three-horned unicorn (henceforth referred to as the "tricorn") is looking down, standing in front of a red upside down triangle. Below it are "A Tricorn Production for BBC" (and with the 1988 BBC logo) and the programme's copyright date. The tricorn raises its head upwards, revealing from its horns the words "TRICORN" above the red triangle. The head then rests in a neutral position as its mane blows in the wind.

Variants:

  • On Series 3 of Come Outside, the BBC Education URL is below the copyright date.
  • On Step Inside, the "A Tricorn Production for" text and the copyright date are in a different font and the 1988 BBC logo has also been updated to the 1997 logo.

Technique: Hand-drawn animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Audio Variant: On Come Outside, there are four piano notes with the last one delayed, all mixed with the closing music.

Availability: Seen on Come Outside (Series 2 onwards) and Step Inside.
