A. Smith and Co. Productions

Background
This is Arthur Smith 's production company that was formed in 2000. In 2011, A. Smith & Co. merged with the Tinopolis Group.

(June 18, 2003-)
Logo: On a blue background with circles, we see a cartoon TV with a plug and a blue monitor going right with the letters coming out one-by-one "A SMITH" and "CO." Then, the same TV with "&" inside the monitor zooms in, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" appears.

Variants:
 * Starting with the 2016 logo, "a Tinopolis company" appears with the red square with three, white straight lines.
 * Sometimes, the "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" word is above the logo.
 * An enhanced version is currently used (since 2010) with everything in a purple tint and slightly smoother animation.
 * A slightly longer version exists with the TV sliding from the right side of the screen to the left (while up close) and then continuing as normal.
 * In 2018, the logo is more enhanced for the animation.
 * On Ellen's Next Great Designer, the byline appears to be cut-off.

Technique: The letters and the TV's animation.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral hit with typing sounds. This was performed by A. Smith and Co. co-founder Kent Weed. ABC, NBC, and Fox used a generic theme.

Availability: Common. It can be seen on its shows and documentaries that they produced such as Hell's Kitchen, American Ninja Warrior, Kitchen Nightmares, Paradise Hotel, The Swan, and Skating With Celebrities, among others.
