Background

Flattery Yukich Inc. was a production company founded by Paul Flattery and Jim Yukich. The company closed in 1995.

1st Logo (1990)

Visuals: Against a black background, there is the following text:

Produced by
fyi
FLATTERY YUKICH INC.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on Bruce Dickinson: Dive! Dive! Live!.

2nd Logo (1990-April 6, 1993)

Visuals: The logo begins at a crime scene. Everything is in sepia tone, like a film noir movie. A bunch of reporters or detectives are crowded around the 'evidence' (appears to be a corpse that of an car accident, never confirmed). A woman takes notes, while a male photographer takes a picture. The flash goes off, and the sequence dissolves to a gray/silver screen with a centered silver circle at the top. Inside the circle, there is "fyi" in red script. It looks a little bit like the Virgin logo. Below, there is the uppercase black text "FLATTERY YUKICH INC.", which is sandwiched between two lines. The logo fades out.

Variants:

A still version exists.
On Genesis: The Way We Walk, the logo begins with the flash and has a spinning globe instead of the circle.

Technique: Live-action and 2D animation. CGI for the variant.

Audio: A suspenseful synth tune that sounds like the beginning of an "evening news" program. It fades in quickly, and the camera-flash is accompanied by a synth hit.

Availability: This was seen on Phil Collins: Seriously Live in Berlin, as well as Phil Collins' final night concert in New York. The variant was spotted on Genesis: The Way We Walk.

3rd Logo (September 8, 1990-December 8, 1993)

Visuals: The logo begins with a flash that dissolves to a purple-blue background, with a silver ball. After the "fyi" wordmark writes itself in a metallic texture, the black text "FLATTERY/YUKICH INC." fades below through a flash.

Technique: CGI.

Audio:

Seriously... Phil Collins: Same as the 2nd logo.
Genesis: Opening Night: The song "Fading Lights" by Genesis.

Availability: It was seen on Genesis: Opening Night on ABC and the lost TV special Seriously... Phil Collins that was later included on Phil Collins: Finally... The First Farewell Tour DVD. It was also seen on the VHS release of Paul Reiser: 3 1/2 Blocks from Home.
