Background: TeleVentures was originally a joint venture distributor between TriStar Television and Stephen J. Cannell Productions. The name is part of Sony Pictures Television.


1st Logo
(1988-1990)

Nicknames: "The Conjoining Shapes", "TV"

Logo: On a dark blue (or black) background, two shapes that come from the bottom left and right of the screen join in the center of the screen, and "TeleVentures" wipes below.

FX: The shapes joining, and the "TeleVentures" wipe effect.

Cheesy Factor: The "TeleVentures" name wipe effect looks very unprofessional.

Music/Sounds: A creepy organ stinger.

Availability: Extinct, was seen on My Two Dads in syndication.

Scare Factor: Medium, the organ may creep people out.



2nd Logo
(1990)

Nicknames: "Gold TV", "TeleVentures Trail"

Logo: On a black background, we see the name "TELEVENTURES" in 2-D in gold swinging down with a trail effect from the top to the bottom of the screen. We later see a gold version of the TeleVentures logo fading in above the name with sparkle effects on the logo and name.

FX: The TeleVentures trail effect.

Music/Sounds: Most of the time, it's silent. Other times, it has a saxophone theme.

Availability: Rare, it was last seen on Werewolf on Chiller. Was also seen on My Two Dads when it was reran on USA over a decade ago.

Scare Factor: Depends on the logo:

• None to minimal without the music.
• Minimal with the sax theme.
