Background

Shondaland is the production company of Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey's Anatomy. The company was founded in 2005.

1st Logo (September 25, 2005-November 19, 2015)


Visuals: On a pink background, there is a blue rollercoaster with chasing lights on it surrounding a large floating heart. The company name is seen above in a Ren & Stimpy-esque font.

Variant: On the final episode of Private Practice, the heart deflates like a balloon, the lights bust out, and the coaster stops moving.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The sound of the rollercoaster's wheels moving on the track, then a zapping sound from when "Land" flickers as well as high-pitched voices shouting "Wheeeeeee!" (in the logo's early days the voices said "Hooray!"). Also, a calliope tune is faintly heard in the background.

Audio Trivia: This tune is called "Sound Ideas, MUSIC, CALLIOPE - CALLIOPE PLAYING MUSIC FOR LARGE CAROUSEL, AMUSEMENT PARK, FAIR", sourced from Sound Ideas' The 20th Century Fox Sound Effects Library.

Audio Variant: On the final episode of Private Practice, disappointed groans from the passengers are heard when the coaster stops. Also, the calliope music winds down to a halt.

The company name in an orange Futura font is revealed as it lights up.

Variant: On CTV airings of The Catch, the logo starts from the rollercoaster zooming away.

Technique: CGI by Scott Milne.

Audio: Same as before, albeit the voices are different and the calliope tune is absent. When the coaster zooms away, a whoosh is heard.
