Background

Jay Bernstein Productions was the vanity card of indie producer Jay Bernstein, known for The New Mike Hammer and Houston Knights.

Logo (April 9, 1983-December 6, 1994)

Visuals: There is a shot of what appears to be a living room set, with spotlights in front and a director's chair marked with "Jay Bernstein" in cursive. A man (Bernstein himself) walks by, picks up a cane, and proceeds to walk off. The text "A JAY BERNSTEIN PRODUCTION", with "In Association With" underneath, is superimposed against the image.

Variant: On Houston Knights and The Diamond Trap, the setting is changed to that of a city, and there are file cabinets to the right. Also, as Jay walks off, he puts on a black cowboy hat.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: The closing theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on The New Mike Hammer on CBS, Houston Knights on CBS, and The Diamond Trap on NBC.

-'''Logo:''' We see a shot of what appears to be a living room set, with spotlights in front and a director's chair marked with "{{font|Serif|''Jay Bernstein''}}" in cursive. A man (Mr. Bernstein himself) walks by and picks up what appears to be a walking stick and walks towards the door or window with it. The text "{{color|#FFD900|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''A JAY BERNSTEIN PRODUCTION'''''}}}}" with "{{color|#FFD900|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''''In Association With'''''}}}}" underneath, is seen against this scene.

-'''Variant:''' On ''Houston Knights'', there is a variation of this logo in which the setting is apparently that of a city, and there are file cabinets to the right. Also, as Jay walks off, he puts on a black cowboy hat. The logo to follow would be the 1982 [[Columbia Pictures Television|CPT]] logo, either the Coke or the CPE version.
+'''Variant:''' On ''Houston Knights'' and ''The Diamond Trap'', the setting is changed to that of a city, and there are file cabinets to the right. Also, as Jay walks off, he puts on a black cowboy hat.
-'''FX/SFX:''' Mr. Bernstein getting up and walking off.
+'''Technique:''' Live-action.
-'''Music/Sounds:''' The last notes of the end title theme such as The New Mike Hammer, among other shows produced by this company.
+'''Audio:''' The closing theme of the show.
-'''Availability:''' Scarce. It may become more available if Sony puts out DVD releases of ''The New Mike Hammer'' or ''Houston Knights''. The city variant can also be seen on ''The Diamond Trap'', which can be found on DVD released by SPHE. Don't expect to see this on ''Mike Hammer, Private Eye''.
+'''Availability:'''  Seen on ''The New Mike Hammer'' on CBS, ''Houston Knights'' on CBS, and ''The Diamond Trap'' on NBC.
-'''Legacy:''' The placement of the text in relation to the director's chair results in some unintended hilarity as it inadvertently causes the logo to read as "A Jay Bernstein production in association with Jay Bernstein"
