Two Soups Productions

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum


Background

This is the production company of Matt Tarses. His sister Jamie, also owned a production company FanFare Productions, although it was later announced in January 2022 that said company would carry on by being run by Tarses' executive McCrae Dunlap (who had previously steered the company while Tarses was hospitalized and following her death) with Kapital Entertainment and the support of Tarses’ family taking stake.

1st Logo (March 28-May 2, 2006)

Visuals: On a closeup of a shelf, there are some soup cans. The left two are colored half white and red with a symbol in the middle (resembling Campbell's) and the text "Two" on it. The right four cans are textured with a red label and "SOUPS" on it (resembling Progresso), two of which are stacked together. Below it is "PRODUCTIONS" made out of small tags.

Technique: A live-action photograph with digital editing.

Audio: Unknown, due to the NBC generic announcement.

Availability: Seen on Teachers.

2nd Logo (September 22, 2008-May 16, 2018)


Visuals: At the dining table (with the kitchen counter behind it), there is a boy and a girl, both at a young age, looking at the camera as they eat bowls of soup. The girl eats the soup while the boy waves his right arm. On the top and on the bottom of the screen respectively, there are the words "Two Soups" and "Productions", in the Solis font.

Trivia: The kids in the video in the logo are likely Matt and Jamie Tarses at a young age, shot from an old memory on film.

Variants:

  • On Worst Week and Alex, Inc., it shares the screen with the Hat Trick (the former) and Davis Entertainment (the latter) logos. On the latter, the logo freezes at the end.
    • An early version replaces the video with a different photograph of the same two kids and it's also still. Seen on the pilot of the former.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: None or the closing theme.

Availability: Seen on Worst Week, Mad Love and Alex, Inc. Also seen on the failed pilot of Brenda Forever.
