Oliver Productions

Background
Oliver Productions was the vanity card for John McLaughlin.

(January 1, 1982-August 12, 2016)
Logo: On a white background, we see a green "O" spinning, shifting to the left. As it stops spinning and shiftiing, "LIVER PRODUCTIONS, INC." appears next to it:

OLIVER PRODUCTIONS, INC.

"O" is larger than the rest of the letters in "OLIVER", while "PRODUCTIONS, INC." is smaller. Inside the "O" is a white basset hound with brown spots, which barks once.

Technique: Simple traditional animation with simple scanimation for the text.

Music/Sounds: The sound of the dog barking once.

Availability: Seen on The McLaughlin Group and John McLaughlin's One-on-One. Both usually had WTTW's logo of the time coming after if you watched it on PBS (except when you saw The McLaughlin Group on one of the NBC O&Os that air it that mean that the WTTW logo won't be shown, so it's a hard call). Due to the fact that episodes from both series only air once and never again, as they are talk shows, this logo is extinct.
