Background

This is J.D. Roth and Todd Nelson's production company, founded in 2001. It was acquired by Eyeworks in 2006. The company was later renamed as "3 Ball Entertainment".

1st Logo (October 5, 2002-February 22, 2003?)

File:3Ball.jpg Logo: On a blue background with stars, we turn left to find a basketball hoop with a sign that has the 3 Ball Productions logo (a basketball with the number "3" on the right side, the word "BALL" next to it, and the word "PRODUCTIONS" below it). 3 basketballs come in from the right, bottom, and left, and go through the hoop. The last ball hits the logo, making it flash briefly.

FX/SFX: Decent CGI.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on the first season of Endurance.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 13, 2003-)

Logo: On a black background, we see the exact same 3 Ball logo as before, but it's in black and white and has a spotlight gradient on it. The logo zooms in slowly.

Variants:

In 2006, an Eyeworks byline was added.
From 2015-2019 the logo is wholly different where the basketball is now a circle with an circle arc and was changed to "3 Ball Entertainment" and it swipes out in CGI and it shines.
Starting in 2020 the logo is now blue and the animation is different and the name was reverted back to "3 Ball Productions"

FX/SFX: Just the 3 Ball logo zooming in. Later years however has a swiped out effect.

Music/Sounds: Either the end theme of the show, or a basketball bounce followed by 4 high synth notes all over a sustained synth note. Starting in 2015 only three notes are heard.

Availability: Much more common than the previous logo. Seen on their tha they produced such as Bar Rescue, Come Dance with Me and Marriage Rescue.

Editor's Note: None.
