1st Logo (September 15, 1984-1986?)

2nd Logo (1986?-September 15, 1989)

Visuals: The credits of the preceding show flip away, revealing a drawing of a brown plain with a mountain in the center. Not too soon after that, a silver boomerang suddenly appears, flying around and casting a drop shadow. It eventually reveals the following:

CHRIS BEARDE
Productions

The words cast a drop shadow and shine.

fly in from the right with the name "CHRIS BEARDE" in goldish-yellow with a drop shadow and the word "P R O D U C T I O N S" in a white font on top of a blue code-out bar.
