Background

This is Arnold Kopelson's production company.

Logo (October 6, 2000-February 27, 2004)


Visuals: The logo starts with a close-up view of the Brooklyn Bridge and zoom out of its arch, while orange searchlights briefly color the picture. Then the New York City skyline appears and a couple can be seen walking on the bridge. As the screen zooms out, the action is revealed to be in a box on a black background. The searchlights reveal the name "K O P E L S O N" above the box, and "E N T E R T A I N M E N T" fades in below.

Variants:

  • The TV version is shortened to the last seconds with the words in a different, larger font. Noticeably, the skyline here contains the World Trade Center. The film version, debuting after 9/11, removes it and replaces it with several buildings.
    • Starting with The Fugitive episode "DrRichardKimble.com", "ENTERTAINMENT" is replaced by "TELEMEDIA".
    • On Thieves, which also premiered after 9/11, the World Trade Center is absent.
    • On ABC airings of Thieves, the TV version of this logo is still.

Technique: CGI by yU+co.

Audio: A soft piano mix composed by Musikvergnuegen. Otherwise, it's silent.

Availability: It was seen on Joe Somebody and Twisted. The shortened version appeared on the 2000 television remake of The Fugitive and Thieves.
