Paul Fusco Productions

Background

This is the vanity card of Paul Fusco, better known as one of the creators of ALF.

1st Logo (September 14, 1991-February 17, 1996)

Nicknames: "The Hat and Wand", "Magician's Tricks"

Logo: On a blue background, we see a CG magician's top hat sitting upside down on a table. A wand pops up and with a swoosh causes the text "Paul Fusco Productions", in gold letters to appear at the top of the screen with sparkles. The wand settles at the bottom of the screen.

Variant: On Project ALF, the logo is still.

FX/SFX: The wand, the name appearing.

Music/Sounds: Silence or the end theme of the show. On ABC's original airing of Project: ALF, the end of the credits music played over it. Since the DVD is the original, unedited version, the logo is silent.

Availability: Rare. The only places you could find this logo were the short-lived 1991 cartoon Space Cats, the 1996 TV film Project: ALF, the German dub of the original ALF and the short-lived 2004 series, ALF's Hit Talk Show. The logo is preserved on the DVD of the latter.

2nd Logo (July 7 - December 17, 2004)

Logo: Similar in concept to the first logo, against a red curtain background we see a magician's hat perched upon a table. With a trail of pixie dust, a wand levitates out of the hat and writes the company name in gold letters (in a different font), flying off the screen.

FX/SFX: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show combined with magic glittery sounds (sounding similar to the 3rd Walt Disney Television logo).

Availability: Only seen on ALF's Hit Talk Show.
