Background
All American Fremantle International, Inc. (formerly Talbot Television and Fremantle International) was an international division of Pearson Television (now "Fremantle") that was originally founded in the 1950s as Fremantle International, as a subsidiary of The Fremantle Corporation, until the international unit was sold in stages to Interpublic in 1989, until it was transferred to All American Television in 1994, and it was renamed to All American Fremantle International, which AAC bought out program rights from Fremantle International, but four years later, after All American Communications closed down in 1998, it was folded into Pearson Television. Its basic function was to produce shows for the international market. The company didn't use a logo until 1989.
1st Logo (September 17, 1972-March 10, 1974)
Visuals: Inside a white circle, there is a stylized knight chess piece. The text "TALBOT TELEVISION" is next to it.
Technique: A still, superimposed graphic.
Audio: The end theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on The Adventures of Black Beauty and possibly other early programmes from the company.
2nd Logo (1989-1996)
Visuals: On a white background, there is the image of a knight chess piece, with a face. Below that, there is the text "A TALBOT TELEGAME" with the caption "FREMANTLE INTERNATIONAL" underneath. The eye on the knight chess piece then blinks.
Variants:
- An in-credit version of the logo exists where the logo is in white.
- Sometimes, the logo scrolls up with the credits.
- On Australian games, the logo takes place on a space background, the text reads "A FREMANTLE TELEGAME" in light blue with "FREMANTLE INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS" in a small type below, and the knight chess piece was in blue. After the eye blinks, the chess' eye sparkles. In later years, the byline "Chief Executive, RICHARD BECKER" is shown below the logo.
- Sometimes, depending on the show and region, the logo is colored.
- On early episodes of the German version of Jeopardy!, the logo is in blue, and the text behind it reads "FREMANTLE" and below it was "Fremantle (Deutschland) GmbH" and "Production" is shown under the chess piece.
- Sometimes, the logo is still.
- Sometimes, the logo shares the screen with other logos.
- Sometimes, the standard logo is shown on a box, as seen on the Swedish versions of game shows, like Wheel of Fortune and Child's Play.
- On Greek game shows like Family Feud, the eye blinks red and flashes.
- On the German versions of Family Feud and The Price is Right, the logo flips in.
- On early episodes from the UK version of Supermarket Sweep, the chess piece is on the right side, and the logo reads "PRODUCED IN ASSOCIATION WITH" and below it was "TALBOT TELEVISION". A Central Independent Television copyright stamp is below the logo.
- On later Australian games, the logo still has the blue chess piece, although the text dissolves from a wipe effect, and the byline is shown below the logo fading it and the logo takes place on a freeze frame of the then-current Seven Network logo, which segues into this logo.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: The end theme of the show.
Audio Variants:
- Sometimes, the logo was accompanied by an announcer spiel.
- On Greek game shows like Family Feud, a sound of a horse neighing is heard.
Availability: Seen at the end of various international versions of Goodson-Todman games, namely Family Feud, Child's Play and The Price is Right (namely the 1989 UK version on Sky One) as well as international versions of Let's Make a Deal and Supermarket Sweep (which was kept intact on Challenge), early episodes of the 90s version of Play Your Cards Right (which was also kept intact on Challenge) the French version of Pyramid, the Australian version of Strike It Rich, early episodes of the German version of Jeopardy! and the Swedish version of Wheel of Fortune.
