Background
This is the production company of David McFadzean, Dete Meserve and Matt Williams.
Wind Dancer Productions, Inc.
1st Logo (October 18, 1988-May 2, 1989)
Visuals: On a blue background, there are the words "WIND DANCER PRODUCTIONS, INC." in a Bauhaus 93 font, which is also the font used for the credits of Roseanne. Right below it, there are the words "in association with" in the same font.
Technique: A still graphic.
Audio: Either silence or the closing theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on the first season of Roseanne.
2nd Logo (March 31, 1990-October 18, 1994)
Visuals: On a lavender marble background with a spotlight illuminating most of it, the text "Wind Dancer" can be seen in the lower right corner, in a blue script font. The "W" and "D" are larger than the rest of the text, and said text have underlines under it. "PRODUCTIONS, INC" can be seen in a smaller, more generic font below "Dancer". A hairline crack then develops from upper right sector of the screen just off center to the lower left corner of the screen, morphing into a abstract outline of a dove's front silhouette. The crack then grows out an aurora-like light, glowing a mix of yellow/orange/indigo/blue light, all engulfing the upper left side of the screen.
Technique: Likely CGI.
Audio: A set of chime sounds that differs from time to time, sometimes with the sound of wind in the background.
Availability: Still intact on the first three seasons of Home Improvement on DVD, Hulu, and Laff reruns. This logo also appeared on two season 4 episodes, episode 1 ("Back in the Saddle Shoes Again") and, strangely, episode 5 ("He Ain't Heavy, He's Just Irresponsible"). This also appeared on Carol & Company.
Wind Dancer Production Group
1st Logo (September 27, 1994-May 20, 1997)
Visuals: On a black background, the words "WIND DANCER PRODUCTION GROUP" zoom in and change from a bluish color to a shady mix of pink, purple, blue, and some orange.
Variant: On Firelight, the "PRODUCTION" text is absent.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Some softer-sounding wind chimes.
Availability: Seen on seasons 4-6 of Home Improvement beginning with the second episode of season 4 ("Don't Tell Momma"). Strangely, the fifth episode of season 4 (the aforementioned "He Ain't Heavy, He's Just Irresponsible") uses the 2nd Wind Dancer Productions logo. It was also seen on Firelight and may have been seen on season 1 of Soul Man (a sitcom not to be confused with The Soul Man) and Buddies.
2nd Logo (September 23, 1997-May 25, 1999)
Visuals: The logo starts with what appears to be a lake at dusk. A large feather is seen. The feather then touches the lake, bounces back up, and the scene becomes enclosed in a box shape (kind of like a bell tower) while the text "WIND DANCER PRODUCTION GROUP", in a shiny blue Friz Quadrata font with two lines underneath it, zooms in.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A majestic string piece accompanied by a 4-note flute tune. Composed by Dan Foliart.
Audio Variants:
- Occasionally, there was a different flute theme used ending with some chimes.
- ABC airings starting in 1998 used their own generic music.
Availability: Seen on the final two seasons of Home Improvement. It may have also been seen on season 2 of Soul Man.
Wind Dancer Films
1st Logo (September 14, 1997-May 4, 2003)
Visuals: Same as the second Wind Dancer Production Group logo, but the animation is slower. Below the final product is "WIND DANCER FILMS", in the same font.
Variant: On Firelight and Where the Heart Is, the logo is filmed and has a purplish tint to it.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The 4-note flute theme from the TV logo, leading into a lush string/horn piece with the flute tune playing again near the end. Composed by Dan Foliart.
Audio Variants:
- At the end of Where the Heart Is, it's silent.
- On Tim Allen Presents: The Home Improvement User's Guide, the standard TV theme is used.
Availability: Seen on Firelight, Where the Heart Is, and Tim Allen Presents: The Home Improvement User's Guide.
2nd Logo (April 27, 2006-September 8, 2014)
Visuals: On a black background, a small square depicts footage of a mud cracked wasteland, being zoomed through before stopping to reveal an eagle trying to fly away, but one of its claws is chained to a leg cuff. It then unlocks the cuff and flies off. An orange burst of sunlight fades in at the top right of the square, shining diagonally. Another burst of sunlight appears moving below the square across to the right forming "WIND DANCER" in an orange serif font that looks similar to Times New Roman, Georgia or Perpetua. The eagle then returns flying over to the top left of the square and settling there with its wings still spread out. "F I L M S" zooms up underneath in white.
Trivia: This logo was made by Kathleen Chee of the design agency 2100°DG.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Wind while panning, sound effects matching the cuff's movements when the eagle tries to break free, and the eagle flapping its wings. After the eagle flies away, a soothing orchestral fanfare is played accompanied by the eagle cawing.
Availability: Seen on Walker Payne, Bernie and As Cool As I Am, as well as the documentary series, Wildest Africa.
3rd Logo (March 6, 2014-)
Visuals: Over a grassy field at sunset, there is "WIND DANCER" in a font that looks similar to Trajan or Optimus Princeps surrounded by a faint rainbow circle with "F I L M S" in Retroica underneath. The text zooms in slightly.
Variant: On Saint George and the company's sizzle reel, the text is lowered to the grass and "F I L M S" is in white.
Technique: CGI by Picturemill.
Audio: An orchestral theme.
Audio Variant: Sometimes, it's the ending theme or silence.
Availability: Seen on The Keeping Room, the short-lived show Saint George, the CGI animated educational television series Ready Jet Go! on PBS Kids, the company's sizzle reel from 2018 and Good Sam (2019).
