Background

This is Scot Armstrong's vanity card.

(April 4-November 20, 2012, April 10, 2016-October 8, 2017)

Logo: We see footage of everyday things (a different one in every episode for Best Friends Forever and season 1 of Dice), all accompanied by white text saying "AMERICAN WORK, INC." in a weird-esque font. And depending on the episode of the two aforementioned series, these are all the footage variants described.

Variants:

  • Stump: A man wearing a red patterned shirt smashes a thin long wood stump in half with his axe on a path with grass, as a tan-yellow dog runs into frame, barking and looking at the wood piece. (Used in episode 1 of Best Friends Forever, all episodes of Animal Practice, season 1 eps 1, 3 and 6 and season 2 of Dice)
  • Nachos: On a table in a place, a bowl consisting of nachos and chips slides from the left into frame, as a hand then grabs one of the chips. (Used in episode 2 of Best Friends Forever and season 1 ep 5 of Dice)
  • Bowling: In a bowling alley, we see an area consisting of three bowling balls, as a yellow ball then rolls into frame onto the stack. (Used in episode 3 of Best Friends Forever)
  • Clothesline: In a backyard with clotheslines and pegs on it, a teal blue patterned polo shirt is seen hanging on it, which a woman wearing a bright red shirt and blue shorts grabs off from. (Used in episode 4 of Best Friends Forever)
  • Turkey: In another backyard, a man wearing a gray-red polo shirt and black pants pulls out a cooked turkey from a silver pot using a gray hook-like thing, while smoke steams out from it. (Used in episode 5 of Best Friends Forever)
  • Fabrication: At an area, a man wearing a red patterned shirt (most likely the same one from Stump) uses a power saw with his arm to chop a long wooden piece in half. (Used in episode 6 of Best Friends Forever)
  • Pins: A closeup of a lane with bowling pins is seen as a black ball rolls into frame, knocking out all of them in the process. (Used in season 1 ep 2 of Dice)
  • Lawnmower: A man is seen using a red lawnmower on the grass as he then pulls the trigger to start it up and moves along. (Used in season 1 ep 4 of Dice)

Other Variants:

  • On Animal Practice, the text is more stretched out.
  • On Dice, the text is more larger and is in delayed motion for a split-second.

FX/SFX: It's all live-action.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the variant. On Best Friends Forever, it's silent. On Dice, a six-note jazzy synthesizer-like tune is heard over the sound effects. Original NBC airings had a generic theme and a voiceover.

Availability: Seen on Best Friends Forever, Animal Practice and Dice.

Editor's Note: None. It's a rather creative logo.
