Background

This is the production company of Martin Gates.

Logo (September 1994-1999)

Visuals: On a black background inside a purple to magenta pub-like circle with yellow outline is a still picture of Albert (the watch-dog fish from the cult television series The Dreamstone) holding a paintbrush in his mouth, like he's fetching it. The brush has pink-ish paint on it, and some paint is dripping from it. Underneath him is the initials "M.G.P." in red with yellow outline. Below that, in a Brush Script font, is "A Martin Gates Production" inside a white box with purple outline. Copyright is shown below.

Variants:

Sometimes, the background is white.
On most packaging, Albert is simply seen on top of the initials "M.G.P."

Technique: A still, filmed or videotaped graphic.

Audio: Just the ending of the show's theme music.

Audio Variant: On VHS releases, this comes up as a still motion logo, which features no music.

Availability:

It appears on old VHS releases of The Wind in the Willows Collection, Mole's Christmas, and The Snow Queen.
On television, this logo can be seen at the end of Bimble's Bucket and Molly's Gang.
It also appears at the end of the 1999 TV movie Santa's Last Christmas.
