Winters/Rosen Productions

(1968-1973)


Logo: On a white background is a black and white drawing of an outdoors area, with high grass, flowers, trees and rocks. A green frog hops from behind a rock in the back, and then moves to a knoll, another rock and finally, to the ground. As it hops, it gets closer and closer to the screen. When it stops, it sticks its tongue out, looking to the screen and smiling. The tongue has a red banner with "A WINTERS/ROSEN PRODUCTION" in a white font (looking like a slight variant of Fritz Quadratta) with a little frog below that with white bordering. After a second, it cuts to a close-up of the banner.

FX/SFX: Hand-drawn animation.

Music/Sounds: A whimsical flute piece, composed by Don Randi. The music is timed with the frog jumping. A snap is heard when the frog sticks its tongue out, and when it cuts to the banner, a sting is heard.

Availability: Possibly extinct, as it appeared on The Sonny and Cher Nitty Gritty Hour. The logo also appeared on the Kenny Rogers show Rollin' on the River, but that show hardly, if ever, turns up on TV anymore. (Nor has Rollin' ever appeared on DVD - at least, not yet.)

Editor's Note: None.
