Background
In 1990, Scott A. Stone joined David G. Stanley and renamed Stone Television to Stone Stanley Productions. After Shop 'Til You Drop ended in 2005, Stanley left the company and Stone renamed the company as Stone & Company Entertainment.
Stone Stanley Productions
1st Logo (September 10, 1990-April 13, 1991)
Visuals: On a green marbled, stone background is the white stacked text "STONE STANLEY" in the font from the Stone Television logos, sandwiched between two lines and with "STONE" larger than the rest. After two seconds, the word "PRODUCTIONS" fades in below. A third line is below "PRODUCTIONS".
Technique: Fading effects.
Audio: The ending theme of the show. On Fox's Fun House, Michael Chambers announces "Fun House is a Stone Stanley Production!"
Availability: Seen on the final season of Fox's Fun House, Teen Win, Lose, or Draw and the Fun House Fitness VHS releases by Warner Home Video.
2nd Logo (July 8, 1991-February 24, 2000)
Visuals: On a different green marbled, stone background, there is "STONE STANLEY" in the same font as before (albeit thinner) with two lines, one above it and one below it, engraved in the background. The text then fills with yellow coloring, then after it colorizes, "PRODUCTIONS" fades in with a third line below it. The text now reads:
STANLEY
PRODUCTIONS
The yellow color sets in as shiny gold.
Variants:
- A still variant exists.
- Sometimes, the text "in association with" appears underneath the logo, which was used during the end of Wavelength.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A mellow synth tune ending with a "ping" sound, with an announcer or host saying "(name of show) is a Stone Stanley Production".
Audio Variants:
- On Wavelength, Jennifer Spears says "Wavelength is a Stone Stanley production!"
- On Legends of the Hidden Temple, the end of the show's theme plays with Olmec (the talking stone head in the show, voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) saying "Hmmmmm..."
- For The Man Show, the closing theme would also be used, with Jimmy Kimmel saying "The Man Show is a Stone-Stanley production in association with Jackhole Productions" (the second part of the spiel included after Jackhole's logo came up).
- One voice-over came from FX's Bobcat's Big Ass Show (hosted by Bobcat Goldthwait), as said by announcer Eric Waddell, "Bobcat's Big Ass Show is a Stone Stanley Production! (a farting or coughing sound is heard) Ugh! What was that?".
- The music is low-pitched on USA's Quicksilver and Free 4 All, respectively. For the Quicksilver variant, the music is also played in the key of A rather than B.
- A slightly extended variant of the music also exists, which was seen on some episodes of the Family Channel run of Shop Til' You Drop.
- The VHS release Jane Fonda's Lower Body Solution uses an announcer-free version of the music.
Availability:
- Seen on VHS releases of Jane Fonda's Lower Body Solution and DVD releases of The Man Show (early seasons).
- It was also seen at the end of the 1992-1993 game show Wavelength, followed by the 1992 Rysher TPE logo.
- It was also seen on Legends of the Hidden Temple during it's original run on Nickelodeon and reruns of the show on Nick GAS and NickRewind on TeenNick, as well as '90s episodes of Shop 'Til You Drop when they were last seen on GSN.
- Quicksilver, Free 4 All and Born Lucky also carried this logo.
- The 1996 Fox game show Big Deal also had this logo, followed by the 1995 New World Entertainment logo.
- The still variant was seen on I Can't Believe You Said That!, which aired on Fox Family in 1998 (to fit in with their generic credits).
Stone Stanley Entertainment
Logo (January 8, 2000-May 27, 2005)
Visuals: On a white background, several shapes come together to form a stylized person holding 5 stars. In sync with the person being put together, "ST NE ST NLEY" (in a futuristic font) slide in, left and right. The person's body forms the "O" in "STONE", while its legs form the "A" in "STANLEY". Once "STONE STANLEY" is complete, the word "ENTERTAINMENT" fades in.
Technique: 2D CGI.
Audio: A downward woodwind tune combined with a fast techno beat and the sound of applause.
Availability:
- Seen on the PAX run of Shop 'Til You Drop (both the mall-era and "megastore" episodes) when it was last seen on GSN, albeit subject to credit-crunching.
- It was also seen on Popstars, The Mole, The Man Show, and the U.S. version of Winning Lines, respectively.
