with the names "BELISARIUS" and "GLEN A. LARSON" in a larger font.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The end-title theme of the show.

It's currently on the DVD releases. Also seen on the original Battlestar Galactica and its ill-fated spin-off Galactica 1980 whenever its reran.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (October 24, 1981-January 4, 1992)
Nicknames: "Gold GL", "GL"

Logo: On a dark blue background, long gold light streaks travel from all sides of the screen, crossing each other in a spot on the upper left hand side. When the light streaks connect with each other, there are a few visible sparkles. The light streaks form a round square-like shape. The shape flashes brightly as two more streaks (which come from the top and left sides of the screen) go through it. The flash reveals a shining gold capital "G" (outlined in white) with an "L" crossing through the bottom part of it. At the same time, white text appears to the right that says "A GLEN LARSON PRODUCTION". Then more text appears underneath that says "IN ASSOCIATION WITH".

Trivia: The logo was animated by Ed Kramer at Image West in Hollywood, California.

Variants:
 * A videotaped variant without the "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" text exists.
 * A black background variant exists.
 * A short version exists.
 * On Image West demo reel #20 (1982), a rainbow streak swirls around the logo, transitioning into the next animation on the tape.

FX/SFX: The gold light streaks, sparkles, and flashing letters. Done using Scanimate.

Music/Sounds/Voice-over: A dramatic six-note orchestral score. On Knight Rider, the logo theme has been re-orchestrated and sped-up, also on some shows, Mr. Larson's voice over would say: "[NAME OF THE SHOW] is a Glen Larson Production..." On the Image West demo reel, it's the background music used on the tape.

Availability: Uncommon. Seen on shows from the time like The Fall Guy, Automan, Manimal, Masquerade, Cover Up, and Knight Rider and TV movies of the time period. It's intact on DVD releases of The Fall Guy and all 4 seasons of Knight Rider. The Image West demo variant is available on Image West demo #20, which can be found on the Scanimate DVD compiled by Dave Sieg.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo: On a black background, a golden dot appears in the center of the screen and sketches the word "glen" in Brush Script MT. The gold text "GLEN LARSON ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK, INC." fades in below.

Variant: On The Darwin Conspiracy, the logo is still and the name is shortened to "GLEN LARSON ENTERTAINMENT, INC.".

FX/SFX: The CGI "glen" sketching, none on The Darwin Conspiracy.
