Background
This is Don Cornelius' vanity card.
1st Logo (October 2, 1971-June 23, 1990)
Nicknames: "dcp", "The DCP Logo"
Logo: As superimposed on Soul Train, scrolling up we see "dcp" in a rounded font. Under that is "A DON CORNELIUS PRODUCTION".
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The end theme. Announcer Sid McCoy would say "This has been a Don Cornelius Production". From 1980-1982, this would be followed by "...In association with Tribune Entertainment".
Availability: Uncommon. It's found on all episodes of Soul Train from the era currently aired on Bounce TV and occasionally on Centric.
2nd Logo (September 26, 1992-September 20, 2008)
Nicknames: "CGI DCP", "dcp II"
Logo: On a black background, we see a blue light. The blue light rotates the letters "dcp" in a rounded font. "DON CORNELIUS PRODUCTIONS" rotate next to it. This ends up straight in this result:
dc-------DON CORNELIUS
p---------------PRODUCTIONS--
when this happens, the blue light disappears.
FX/SFX: The rotating logo.
Music/Sounds: A synth chord.
Availability: Seen on season 22 onwards of Soul Train on Bounce TV and occasionally on Centric.
