Background
This is Don Cornelius' vanity card.
1st Logo (October 2, 1971-June 23, 1990)
Logo: As superimposed on Soul Train, scrolling up we see "dcp" in a rounded font. Under that is "A DON CORNELIUS PRODUCTION".
Technique: 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: 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)
Logo: On a black background, we see a blue light. The light rotates with the letters "dcp" in the same rounded font as before. "DON CORNELIUS PRODUCTIONS" rotate next to it. This ends up straight in this result:
dc DON CORNELIUS
p PRODUCTIONS
When this happens, the light disappears.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A synth chord.
Availability: Seen on season 22 onwards of Soul Train on Bounce TV and occasionally on Centric.
