Background

44 Blue Productions is a television company that was founded in 1984.

1st Logo (1992)

Logo: On a purple gradient background, we see "{{font|Stencil|44 Blue PRODUCTIONS" tilted to the left with a copyright stamp underneath.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Extremely rare. This was on Great Moments in College Bowl History.

2nd Logo (1995-2002)

Logo: On a water background, we see "44" and "BLUE" with a shiny texture zoom out from the right and left respectively. When they've stopped zooming out, the water background fades to black and then "PRODUCTIONS" in white fades in. Meanwhile, "44 BLUE" is masked to show a portion of the water background.

Variant:

A short variant exists with the logo already formed.
On Special Report: Journey to Mars, the logo is superimposed into the last shot of the end credits before the background fades to black.

FX/SFX: The water animation.

Music/Sounds: A choir singing with several bass notes leading up to a reverb drum hit. Sometimes, it's the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on shows like Water Ready, Ghosthunters, and The Christopher Lowell Show.

3rd Logo (2002-2021?)

Logo: On an underwater background with moving, wavy lines, there is a blue rectangle with a thick, curved line inside next to "44 BLUE" and "PRODUCTIONS" fading with via a ripple effect. When the logo fully appears with no transitions, it shines from the left with "PRODUCTIONS" also zooming in slowly.

Variant: Starting in 2019, the logo was not only reanimated with sleeker effects, but a byline was also added that reads "A Red Arrow Studios Company".

FX/SFX: Ripple effects and the logo shining.

Music/Sounds: A vibrating bell sound throughout the logo with other sounds seemingly played in reverse as the logo shines.

Availability: No longer current but still common. Seen on shows from this period such as Lockup, Stringers LA, and Jailbirds.

4th Logo (September 24, 2021- )

Logo: We zoom out of a white background to see a blue rectangle with a wavy line splitting the shape which has a water effect to it. The shape flashes to a flatter version of itself (which is similar to the design of the previous logo) and zooms out to show the company's name as well as the byline in blue.

FX/SFX: The water effects, the flashing, and the zoom-out.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the show.

Availability: Brand new. This can be seen on Jailbirds New Orleans, The Real Murders of Atlanta, and Life After Death with Tyler Henry.
