Background: The Jozak Company was a production company run at first by Gerald W. Abrams (who joined the company as VP of creative affairs in 1973) and Gerald I. Isenberg. Abrams left in 1978 to form Cypress Point Productions; Jozak closed around 1985. Abrams and Isenberg later founded Phoenix Entertainment Group. Most of Jozak's post-1978 library was produced in association with Paramount Television, and is distributed by CBS Television Distribution (exceptions include the Fame TV series, which was co-produced and distributed by MGM Television); distributors for older titles vary.

1st Logo (1976-1980)

Logo: On an orange background is a gray 3D "J". The curve part and the straight part of the "J" is broken into two pieces. Below is "the jozak company" is black. After a second, things appear inside the two "J" parts. Inside the curve part is white and black flames. Inside the straight part is gray and white sky with a gray sun with "rays" protruding to the ground with clouds in front of the sun. On the ground next to it is a stone head. On top of the sun is a vine with the dark shade of gray to left of it and a lighter shade of gray to the right of it. On the right is an evil-looking laughing head. After a moment, the sun turns red-orange before fading out.

FX/SFX: The things appearing in the "J", and the sun changing color. This logo has Asian influences.

Music/Sounds: A drum beating, with a synth note ending with a twinkle sound.

Availability: Seen on TV movies from the company such as James Dean and Having Babies II.
