Background

This is Phoef Sutton's vanity card.

1st Logo (August 9, 1999-May 15, 2001)

Visuals: Against a white suitcase with red lines (resembling that of the USA flag) with a gold sky on it, a sign saying "MAURETANIA" in an art-deco font with a gold globe above it rotates and zooms out to position as "PRODUCTIONS" then fades in with a line below it.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: The closing theme. CBS and NBC airings used a generic theme and a voiceover.

Availability: Seen on later episodes of Thanks (starting with the second episode) and The Fighting Fitzgeralds.

2nd Logo (September 25-October 23, 2003)

Visuals: Against a blue-gray gradient background, the company name in a bold font wipes in from the right.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: Just the sound of a foghorn. NBC airings used a generic theme and a voiceover.

Audio Trivia: This sound is called "Sound Ideas, SHIP, HORN - SHIPS HORN, 1 LONG BLAST, CLOSE, ALARM, DIGIFFECTS", which can be found from Sound Ideas' Transport Sound Effects by Digiffects - Series D.

Availability: Seen on the American version of Coupling.
