Background

The company was formed in 2000 by Greg Berlanti and Mickey Liddell. In 2006, Liddell left the company, which resulted a change to the company's name.

Nickname: "Greg, Move Your Head!"

Logo: We see a family sitting in a living room watching television (the television set appears to be from the 1960s); the parents are sitting on the couch, and two children sit on the floor. The camera slowly zooms up to the television screen, as a young boy is blocking the TV. He moves his head to the side as the words "BERLANTI PRODUCTIONS" in a '70s style font flash on the TV screen.

Variants:

• Until 2011, the word "TELEVISION" was used originally before it was changed to "PRODUCTIONS", which debuted in 2012.
• A still version exists.
• On the 2013 revival of The Tomorrow People, when Julie Plec joined Berlanti's company, the text reads "BERLANTI/PLEC" instead.
• Promoting The LEGO Batman Movie, the young boy is replaced with the LEGO version of Batman.
• On The Mysteries of Laura, the logo is next to the Jeff Rake Productions logo.

FX/SFX: The camera zooming in. Done by New Wave Entertainment.

Music/Sounds: A 9-note harp tune. A voiceover (provided by Greg Berlanti himself) shouts "Greg, move your head!", NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox and The CW airings used a voice over and a generic theme; nobably, Berlanti's voice could be heard over ABC's credits music/announcements on Brothers and Sisters, Eli Stone, Dirty Sexy Money and No Ordinary Family on that network.

Music/Sounds Trivia: The soundbite is actually what Berlanti's father used to say to him as a kid, whenever his head blocked the television screen.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• A much more common abridged version exists.
• On its early years, the voice is high-toned.
• On The Mysteries of Laura, a sped-up version exists.
• The LEGO Batman Movie variant has Berlanti saying "Batman, move your head!"
• Sometimes, the end theme plays over it.

Availability: Common on many shows from the company, such as Brothers and Sisters, No Ordinary Family, Arrow, The Flash and The Mysteries of Laura. The LEGO Batman Movie variant can be seen on the Arrow episode "Bratva", The Legends of Tomorrow episode "Turncoat", The Flash episode "Untouchable", and the Supergirl episode "The Martian Chronicles". Also seen on the short-lived Deception.
