Background
Romart, Inc. was a production company owned by Dan Rowan and Dick Martin which produced Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In from 1967 to 1973 and the short-lived 1969 game show Letters to Laugh-In. The logo was preceded by the George Schlatter-Ed Friendly Productions logo from 1967 to 1972. When Schlatter and Friendly left the show, Rowan and Martin produced the entire final season (1972-73) by themselves.
