Sandollar Television

Background
This is the television arm of Sandollar Productions, owned by Sandy Gallin and actress/singer Dolly Parton.

1st Logo (September 27, 1987-August 14, 1988)
Logo: On a black background, we see the word "Sandollar" in a script font zooming out. The logo shines. A red line is drawn below.

FX/SFX: The zooming out, the Line drawing.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the TV movie Tidy Endings, and possibly on the 1987 ABC show Dolly.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 13, 1990-April 25, 1994)
Logo: Just a simple logo on a black background reading "SANDOLLAR".

Variant: Another variant exists with the text "In Association With" under the "SANDOLLAR" text.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: We hear sounds of ocean waves moving as the end theme plays.

Availability: Seen on the first two episodes of the 1990-1991 Fox series Babes. The version with the IAW text under the text was once seen on the short-lived NBC-broadcast show Someone Like Me (co-produced by Mohawk Productions for Touchstone Television).

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (September 27, 1990-September 23, 1991)
Logo: On a background which looks like beach sand, we see the text "SANDOLLAR". Behind the text is an actual sand dollar laying in the sand.

FX/SFX: The text and sand dollar fading in together.

Music/Sounds: Sounds of ocean waves mixed with various bird sounds.

Availability: Seen on the final episodes of Babes, the 1990 Dolly Parton special Christmas for Home and Wild Texas Wind.

Editor's Note: The company text may be kind of awkward to some, but it's harmless.

4th Logo (September 14, 1994-April 22, 1997)
Logo: On a beach sand background, we see a sand dollar rising up from the background. The word "Sandollar" in the same font as the 1986 logo fading in. The word "TELEVISION" fades in below. A spark appears from beneath the text and the sand dollar.

Variant: On Unlikely Angel, "In Association With" (meaning it cuts to The Kushner-Locke Company logo) appears below in a font the same size as the "TELEVISION" text used in this logo.

FX/SFX: The rising of the logo, the logo shining.

Music/Sounds: Similar sounds from the previous logo, or the end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the short-lived series All-American Girl and the UPN series Social Studies, as well as the 1996 TV movie Unlikely Angel.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (March 10, 1997-May 19, 2004)
Logo: On a purple metal background, we see the print logo for Kuzui Enterprises on the left, and the print logo for Sandollar Television on the right, much like the motion logo used on Unlikely Angel.

Variants:
 * On season 1 of Angel, the background is a blue gradient, the Greenwolf Corp. logo is seen on the top, and the Kuzui Enterprises and Sandollar Television logos are seen on the bottom.
 * On the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 5 premiere "The Freshman", as well as "Living Conditions", "The Harsh Light of Day", "Fear, Itself", and "Beer Bad", the logo (along with the Mutant Enemy logo) is cropped to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio.
 * Starting with the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Wild at Heart", the logo is horizontally stretched correctly to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Starting with season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the first half of the shortened 1997 TCF Television fanfare plays over this logo.
 * TeenNick airings of Buffy the Vampire Slayer had a slowed-down version of the Saradipity Productions logo music due to an editing goof.

Availability: Seen on Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel.

Editor's Note: None.
