Background

This was the production company of Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler, a duo who first came to television as the producers of Full House.

(September 6, 1995-September 12, 2008)


Logo: On a white background, we see a drawing of a man in a suit (a caricature of co-founder Marc Warren) with his mouth agape, holding two drumsticks (one with a yellow tip and one with a blue tip), with which he hits his head (in time with the music). Underneath are the words "WARREN & RINSLER PRODUCTIONS" in Gill Sans, with a scribble behind it. The scribble's color changes in time with the music, from yellow to red, red to light blue, and ending with light blue to yellow, at which point the video freezes.

Variants:

  • On Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, the logo is extended with the colors ending with yellow to red. "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" appears at the bottom of the text.
  • On season 4 of That's So Raven and Cory in the House, the logo doesn't freeze and keeps going.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds:

  • September 6, 1995-May 17, 1998: A whimsical, if slightly creepy, percussion tune barely in time with the man hitting his head, alongside "BONG!" noises as he hits himself, ending in a string pluck. This is extended on Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher.
  • February 20, 2006-September 12, 2008: A jazz tune vaguely resembling "Rhapsody in Blue" (with different notes on season 2 of Cory in the House), with percussion sounds that are timed with the man hitting his head. The last piano note can be heard on the 2002 Disney Channel Originals logo on season 4 of That's So Raven, Cory in the House, and seasons 1-3 Hannah Montana despite the company having never produced the latter show. This is also heard on the 2007 Disney Channel logo on Hannah Montana Forever whenever it uses the 2000 theme.

Availability: This can be seen on the short-lived WB sitcom Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher, S2-S4 episodes of The Parent 'Hood, the fourth and final season of That's So Raven, and Cory in the House. ABC Kids airings of pre-season 4 episodes of That's So Raven from 2006-2011 used this logo, removing the Brookwell McNamara Entertainment logo in the process.
