Camelot Entertainment Sales

Background
Camelot Entertainment Sales, Inc. was the barter advertising sales division of King World Productions, Inc. that founded was in 1982. In addition to King World, it also supplied barter services to Merv Griffin Enterprises, MGM Television, MCA TV (until 1993), and Buena Vista Television.

1st Logo (1991-1993)


Logo: On a black background, we see a still shot of the Camelot Entertainment Sales logo, which is the word "Stencil" in a giant red font with a silver border around the letters and "ENTERTAINMENT SALES" in a small white font centered underneath the logo.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A cheesy-sounding synth medieval trumpet fanfare that starts with a drum.

Availability: Very rare. It was seen on James Bond Jr. and the first season of Catwalk. Season 2 of that show remains as of 2022, unaired and lost due to a licensing conflict between MTV Networks and the creator of the program, Adam Kidron.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1993-1997)
Nickname: "City Skyline"

Logo: We see a New York City skyline at dusk (including the pre-2001 World Trade Center). The word "Stencil" in a giant Baker-Miller pink gradient font zooms up from behind the buildings, followed by the words "Courier", also in Baker-Miller pink, in a smaller typeface.

Variants:
 * A long version exists where at the end, the background fades to black.
 * The pilot of Bruno the Kid had a still variant of the logo with the text "Courier" under it.

Trivia: One of King World's headquarters was based in New York City.

FX/SFX: The zooming words, which are simple 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The same synth fanfare used in King World's "Spotlights" logo.

Music/Sounds Variant: A high tone variant also exists which is heard on PAL prints.

Availability: Extinct.
 * This logo wasn't widely seen to begin with.
 * So far, the only known appearances of this logo was on MGM and Claster's short-lived 1993 Pink Panther cartoon, which last aired on Boomerang UK.
 * The long variant appeared on some episodes of Bruno The Kid as well.
