1st Logo(1956?-1980) Logo: Just an in-credit text notice at the end of the show. FX/SFX: Either scrolling with the credits or none. Music/Sounds: The closing theme or none. Availability: Can be found on the infamous 1978 special A Special Sesame Street Christmas; possibly on other shows co-produced by the company before 1980. Don't expect to see this on Solid Gold '79. Scare Factor: None.
2nd Logo
(1980-1988)
Nickname: "BBa"
Logo: As superimposed on the end credits, we see 5 circles (2 at the top, 3 below it) drawing, and 2 lines draw through the circles, with one shorter line next to the rightmost circle, forming "BBa", and when this happens, "bob banner associates" in pink, appears, line by line. The finished result appears like
bob
banner
associates
BBa
Variant: On the first season of Solid Gold, the logo is chromed in, without animation. The 2-hour special from 1980 had this shown on a black background.
FX/SFX: The circles and lines appearing, the words appearing line-by-line.
Music/Sounds: The end theme.
Availability: Extinct, appeared on Solid Gold during the 1980-1984 episodes and Star Search from 1983-1988.
Scare Factor: Minimal.
3rd Logo
(1992)
Logo: On a blue background we see a small purple sphere surrounded by 7 red circles that seem to get thinner when away from the sphere. The bottom section is cropped and beneath that is the white text "BOB BANNER ASSOCIATES and THE GARY L. PUDNEY COMPANY" FX/SFX: None Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the program. Availability: Seen on the TV movie Crash Landing: The Rescue of Flight 232. Scare Factor: None.
