Background

Harlin & Selin Productions Oy was a Finnish production company owned by film director Renny Harlin and television producer Markus Selin. Established in the early 1990s, the company was active for only a few years before shutting down and Markus Selin founding his own studio, Solar Films.

Logo (January 6, 1993-1995)

Visuals: On a black background, there is an extreme close-up shot of the upper side of a marble tile seen in half smaller aspect ratio. A red laser beam then moves past the upper side of the tile, making some bronze letters pop out of the tile. The camera slowly follows the laser beam and then moves further away. As a laser beam moves from the upper right side, another one appears from the lower left side and moves past to the other side of the screen. Afterwards, there is a tile with corner pins and the stacked text "HARLIN SELIN PRODUCTIONS", while the third laser beam then descends down above the tile and quickly slashes three rough lines on it, resembling the letter "Z".

Variants:

Usually at the end of shows, the following text is seen before the logo:
Ohjelman on

Kolmostelevisio Oy:lle

tuottanut

The text is yellow on Vintiöt and Vintiöiden Kosto, and white on Gladiaattorit.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Stock laser beam sound effects.

Availability: It was only seen on Gladiaattorit (the Finnish version of American Gladiators), Vintiöt, and Vintiöiden Kosto. The DVD release of Vintiöt plasters this with the Solar Television logo.

+'''Variants:'''
-'''Logo:''' On a black background, we have an extreme close-up shot on the upper side of a marble tile seen in half smaller aspect ratio. A {{Font color|red|red}} laser beam then moves past the upper side of the tile, making some bronze letters pop out of the tile. The camera slowly follows the laser beam and then moves further away, as we get a better view of the rectangular tile. As a laser beam moves from the upper right side, another one appears from the lower left side and moves past to the other side of the screen. Afterwards, we see a tile with corner pins and the stacked text "HARLIN SELIN PRODUCTIONS", while the third laser beam then descends down above the tile and quickly slashes three rough lines on it, resembling the Zorro mark.
