Wass-Stein

Background

This is Nina Wass and Eugene Stein's vanity card.

(October 10, 2000-September 19, 2011)

Logo: The screen is divided into 2 sections, with the top half of the screen white, and the bottom half teal. The words "WASS-STEIN" appear at the top. Vertically aligned at the right of the screen, the years of the TV season (e.g."2004 2005") are placed at the border of the colors. The earlier year appears at the bottom in white, and the latter one appears at the top in teal.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: A short piano tune combined with some chimes. Composed by Jonathan Wolff.

Music/Sounds Trivia: Coincidentally, Interbang Inc. used the same theme in their logo, six years before this logo debuted. The two companies have no relation outside of working with Touchstone Television, so it's possibly a stock music piece.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• On The Protector and Sherri, the closing theme played over this logo.
• Original ABC and NBC airings have generic bumper music played over the logo.

Availability: It appeared on The Geena Davis Show, Go Fish, Less Than Perfect, Sherri (2009), and The Protector. Of these shows, Less Than Perfect and Sherri are available on DVD.
