Four D Productions, Inc. was an independent television production company formed by producer Danny Arnold in 1974. In 1977, Columbia Pictures Television acquired worldwide distribution rights to Barney Miller and its spin-off Fish. On August 28, 1986, the CPT Group acquired Four D Productions including his other companies part of Danny Arnold Productions, Inc. for $50 million after Danny Arnold dropped federal and state lawsuits against Columbia over the sharing of profits from Barney Miller.
Visuals: Over a yellow background, the text "FOUR PRODUCTIONS, INC." in a black Clarendon Condensed font are seen followed by the appearance of four overlapping "D" logos from smallest to largest. The D's form in the center in between "FOUR" and "PRODUCTIONS".
Trivia: On older prints of this logo, a white dot flashes in tune with the closing timpani note when it fades out (the film projector/telecine cue mark). This was also seen on prints where it was followed by the 1996 Columbia TriStar Television logo.
Variant: On season 8 episode 10 of Barney Miller titled "The Clown", the logo occurs on a blue background rather than the standard yellow. This was caused by a videotape error. Most prints of the episode had the standard version instead that was corrected by CPT; the print from Shout!'s complete series DVD release is the one with said tape error.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: An upbeat ditty, with 4 additional notes played with the D's appearing, composed by Jack Elliott and Allyn Ferguson, who composed the theme for Barney Miller and also composed the Lorimar Productions 1971-1986 jingle. With the following arrangements:
