Background

In 1992, Murakami-Wolf-Swenson became Fred Wolf Films following the departures of Jimmy Murakami and Charles Swenson several years prior. The Dublin unit, Murakami-Wolf Dublin was also renamed to Fred Wolf Films Dublin.

(September 12, 1992-December 12, 1998)

Logo: On a dark brown/black background, a metallic light-gray rectangular panel flies in from the top-left corner to cover up the background, while the red "FW" flies from behind and placing to the near-top; the words "FRED WOLF FILMS" dissolve in below the "FW" and the red line wipes in below the name from right to left, while the background shines a little.

Variants:

  • Shows produced at Fred Wolf's Irish studio in Dublin featured an added word "DUBLIN" below the line.
  • In The New Adventures of Zorro the logo is thinner and still.

Technique: The logo will form, and the line will form from right to left. None for the still version.

Music/Sounds: A 6-note triumphant MIDI-like score, produced using the E-mu Proteus 2 Orchestral synthesizer. Sometimes, it's the closing theme of the show.

Availability:

  • It appears on the final seasons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, along with The New Adventures of Speed Racer, Budgie the Little Helicopter, and other post-1992 Fred Wolf productions.
  • It can also be found on some UAV Corporation videos, such as Snow White and the Magic Mirror.
  • On international prints of these Fred Wolf shows owned by Disney, the logo is always followed by the Buena Vista International logo.
