Background

This is the vanity card of Paul Attanasio (who would later form his own sole company, Atelier Paul Attanasio) and Katie Jacobs.

Logo (October 10, 2000-May 21, 2012)

Visuals: Set on a stage, there is a small figurine of a ballerina and a man dancing and twirling around. Suddenly, a human foot wearing a shoe stomps on the couple, crushing it. Then, "HeeL & Toe" (in white, and in a strangely-arranged Times font) appears next to the shoe.

Variants:

A short version exists on House, M.D.
The logo would come in either the standard 4:3 version (seen on full-screen prints) or the widescreen 16:9 version.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: A music box rendition of "Für Elise" plays as the dancing ballerina turns and a "stomp" sound as the couple is crushed. A squishing sound is also played as the foot comes down.

Audio Variant: ABC airings of Gideon's Crossing use a generic theme and leaves the squishing sound intact.

Availability: First seen on the series Gideon's Crossing and also appeared on Century City and House, M.D. These can be seen on Fox.
