Background
Phoenix Entertainment Group was a television production company founded in July 1985 by Gerald W. Abrams, the father of J.J. Abrams, and Gerard Isenberg, as a merger of the two companies, Abrams' Cypress Point Productions and Isenberg's The Jozak Company. The company had a distribution deal with King Features Entertainment, which had a long and good relationship. In February 1989, the company was sold to The Hearst Corporation, who owned distribution affiliate King Features Entertainment, and renamed it to King Phoenix Entertainment.
Logo (May 18, 1986-August 15, 1990)
Visuals: On a black background, an orange light glows at the bottom-left of screen. From the glow, a white-orange streak swoops up and curves around clockwise forming a giant cursive "P" with a orange tip on the bottom. The words "P H O E N I X E N T E R T A I N M E N T G R O U P" appear on the bottom of the "P" in a condensed font.
Trivia: The logo was designed by Sandy Dvore, who is also known for designing the titles to The Partridge Family and The Young and the Restless, as well as the 1982 United Artists logo.
Variants:
A warp-speed variant exists that has the animation sped-up.
A still version of the logo also exists, which appears on the unsold pilot The Ghost Writer.
On an August 28, 1993 LWT airing of the 1988 TV movie A Father's Revenge, this logo fades into the 1989 An LWT Presentation for ITV endcap.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: Synthesized beeps with a whoosh when the "P" forms and ending with a synthesized fade out. Jerry Goldsmith is the composer.
Audio Variants:
On some TV movies such as The Brotherhood of Justice and Goddess of Love, an electronic "ding" sound is added to the music as the company name appears.
Sometimes, the ending theme would play over the logo, or none.
