Background

Stone Television was formed by Scott A. Stone in 1987 under Lorimar-Telepictures. Stone was Senior Vice-President of first-run syndication for Telepictures/Lorimar-Telepictures, where he supervised such programs like Gumby, The People's Court, Thundercats, and the 1984 version of Let's Make a Deal, among others. In 1991, he joined David G. Stanley and renamed the company as Stone Stanley Productions.

1st Logo (September 5, 1988-May 27, 1989)

Visuals: On a gray stone background, we see the word "STONE" in a large white font with a line below and above. The word "TELEVISION" in a small white font and in spaced out letters, fades in below also with a white line below all in shadow mode.

Technique: Fading effects.

Audio: Generally the closing music of the show. On the end title theme from Fun House, Tiny Hurley announces "Fun House is a Stone Television Production!"

Availability: Was seen on Fun House, and season 1 episodes of Freddy's Nightmares.

2nd Logo (September 27, 1989-April 28, 1990)

Visuals: The text "STONE" with "TELEVISION" all in the same font as the last logo appears in spaced-out letters. Below it appears in a B&W-like fashion, with the letters dark and a shadow seen from behind. All of a sudden, the background changes to a stone like emerald and the word "STONE" turns turquoise and "TELEVISION" turns green, as the shadow disappears. The logo then shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The end title theme from any show, sometimes with an announcer spiel.

Availability: Seen on the latter seasons of Fun House and College Mad House, and on season 2 episodes of Freddy's Nightmares.
