Background

This is Henry Winkler's production company. Winkler also had partnerships with John Rich, Ann Daniels and Michael Levitt.

Logo (April 5, 1983-May 29, 2004)

Visuals: On a yellowed paper background, 4 teal lines span across the middle of the screen. Written along these lines is the cursive text "fair dinkum", casting a shadow over them and below the lines, the spaced text "P R O D U C T I O N S" is seen below.

Variants:

On the 1984 PSA movie Strong Kids, Safe Kids, this credit is seen above the usual logo: "henry winkler executive producer".
On WinTuition, a print version of the logo is seen on a white background.
On the Monty pilot, the lines are now colored, from top to bottom, pink, blue, red, and green respectively, the 3rd line doesn't appear to reach the left edge of the screen, and "P R O D U C T I O N S" is in a different, thinner font.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: A majestic 7-note orchestral fanfare, but usually, the end theme of the show or silence.

Availability: Seen on movies such as the 1984 PSA Strong Kids, Safe Kids, and on TV shows such as Unexplained Mysteries, So Weird, and Sightings (post 1994 episodes). Also seen on the pilot to Monty.
