Logo descriptions by Michael Bass, bmasters9, and codyfinke2
1st Logo
(1975-July 15, 1977)
1st Logo
(1975-July 15, 1977)
Logo: Superimposed in the credits, we see either one of these two texts:
The above notice used a Peignot font. The other text reads:
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The end theme plays while either one of the two in-credit notices shown above appears on the screen.
Availability: Extremely rare. The in-credit text for the Carruthers Company and Warner Bros. Television appeared on three short-lived game shows: The Neighbors, Give-N-Take, and Second Chance. The Carruthers/ABC text in the Peignot font was seen on the un-aired 1975 ABC game show pilot Beat The Odds.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(May 18, 1983-September 26?, 1986)
Logo: As superimposed on Press Your Luck, we see the text:
Between "Carruthers" and "Company" is a rounded rectangle with a small spike in the middle.
Variant: On the pilot of Press Your Luck, it was like this:
Rod did not sign off on the pilot, though.
FX/SFX: None, it's superimposed, except for that choppy "wipe" effect from the CBS Television City mentioning to the logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The ending theme of Press Your Luck with Rod Roddy saying, "This is Rod Roddy speaking for 'Press Your Luck,' A Carruthers Company Presentation!".
Availability: Uncommon. Only seen on Press Your Luck, and even then this was uncommon for many years due to GSN's "credit crunch" practices. However, this is shown in its entirety on BUZZR.
Editor's Note: None.
The above notice used a Peignot font. The other text reads:
In long credit rolls, the second notice was split between the Carruthers Company notice (which only reads "A CARRUTHERS COMPANY PRODUCTION") and the WBTV text.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: The end theme plays while either one of the two in-credit notices shown above appears on the screen.
