Rodkins Entertainment

Background: Rodkins Entertainment was founded on May 27, 1979, but it didn't use a logo until 1983.

1st Logo

(1983-December 27, 1999)

Rodkins Entertainment (1983)Rodkins Entertainment (1999)

Logo: On a brown background, the word "RODKINS" in orange zooms in. After that, the word "ENTERTAINMENT" zooms out. Then, the orange box outline fades in with the Colour Cookie byline below.

Variant: This logo received a most appropriate sendoff at the end of an airing of Mickey's Christmas Carol on December 27, 1999 on Disney Channel and ABC-affiliated stations. The logo began as it normally would, but the logo stopped halfway through, changed color, and the background turned into a red/green gradient background. As the box outline with Colour Cookie byline (also changing colors as well) faded in, the logo then spinned and flew away into the distance. After that, everything slowly faded to black.

FX/SFX: The zooming, the fading.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show or None. Although at the end of an airing of Mickey's Christmas Carol on December 27, 1999 on Disney Channel and ABC-affiliated stations, the variant of the music from the 2nd logo is heard.

Availability: Rare.

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd Logo

(January 1, 2000-December 31, 2005)

Rodkins Entertainment (2000)Rodkins Entertainment (2000, Prototype)Rodkins Entertainment (2003)Rodkins Entertainment (2004)Rodkins Entertainment (2005)

Logo: We see a background of concentric red and pink hearts radiating out. Suddenly, the word "Rodkins" zooms in with the word "ENTERTAINMENT" below. After that, the Colour Cookie byline fades in below.

Variants:

There is an early variant used for one day on January 1, 2000 which impiles with celebrating the new millennium. The logo is different, the hearts are on 3 TV screens and the animation is just fading in and out.

A byline-less prototype variant also appeared on that day itself in which the concentric hearts are not as smooth and a little thick.

There is also an in-credit version as well.

Like the 1st logo, this logo received a most appropriate sendoff at the beginning of Totally Suite New Year's Eve on December 31, 2005 on Disney Channel. The logo began as it normally would, but the logo stopped halfway through, the concentric hearts started radiating in all the way to their starting point, changed color, and the text morphed into an orange box with text left intact. As the Colour Cookie byline (also changing colors as well) faded in, the logo (except for the background) then waved and spinned away into the distance. After that, everything slowly faded to black and the word "PRESENTS" in light blue faded in after that.

.

FX/SFX: The radiating, the zooming, the fading.

Music/Sounds: The long version of the 1982 Carson Productions theme. The byline-less prototype variant uses the shortened Revue theme while the "Millennium 21" variant uses the 1987 Universal TV theme.

Music/Sound Variant: On Totally Suite New Year's Eve, when the logo stopped halfway through, the theme echos off into silence.

Availability: Same as the 1st logo, extinct for the prototype and "Millennium 21" variants.

Scare Factor: Low to medium, due to the music. Low for the prototype variant and none to low for the "Millennium 21" variant.

3rd Logo

FX/SFX: Same as the 1987 Paramount Television logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1987 Paramount Television logo.
